History lesson with a fun twist

{source}

              Did you know the first picture was taken in 1827? Did you know it took Joseph Nicéphore Niépce 8 hours to take it? Afterwards, it took Louis Daguerre a dozen years to finally reduce the time to less than 30 minutes. 186 years later and we take pictures in 1/10 of a second. I’ve been fascinated by these facts since I learned about them. It’s something curiously attracting for me how fast human kind can discover new things. Like, my new lenses for my iPhone (say what?!) I got them for Christmas from our gift exchange at work, so I want to get as much use of them as I can. That’s why I’m going to join Chantelle@Fat Mum Slim in her photo a day challenge this month. I'll be posting the pictures on instagram, facebook and twitter. Every Friday I’m going to post on the blog a highlight from the week before, and maybe even share some of my favs.

Would you like to join in this fun adventure?... 

PS: Let me know in a comment below if you'll join and leave your instagram or Facebook  so I can see your photos, too.

September challenge

         I suck at schedules, but I like challenges. This explains why I took the photo a day challenge when I found Fat Mum Slim blog. She's a very cute lady, who loves to take pictures, to laugh and the best thing, she lives in Australia!!! Man, how I love that part of the world. I really hope some day I'll get to visit it...

          If you want to jump in and play along, you can find more information here. I'll be posting on my instagram account all the pictures. I'm still thinking if to make here on the blog a round-up every week or not, but we'll see. 

So, what are you waiting for? Come on and have fun!!!
