What's the name mean?

This is my first post and I'm experiencing stage fright, so I'm imagining the whole internet in their underwear. Wait. Cancel that. My brain is burning.

I thought I might start out with how I came up with the title of this blog. It wasn't easy. Lots and lots of names are already taken. I wanted a title that gave you a clue (even an obscure one) about the subject matter of my blog. Did it work? I think you might get it if you're an aspiring photographer as I am. For a long time in my photography I shot in program mode, letting the camera make most of the decisions for me. It worked fine sometimes, but other times not so well. I kept reading in various photo books that one of the best ways to improve your photography was to get off program mode and start making your own choices as to aperture and shutter speed (among other things). Well one day I finally tried it. I'd like to say that all my pictures from that day forward were National Geographic caliber, but that'd be a lie. But I will say that it did start to improve my photography. I had to think a lot more and come up with purposeful choices in order to best portray the scene.

Isn't that true in life as well? Too often I think I go through my day on "program mode," not really thinking about the choices that help me best portray the life I want. The older I get, the more I want to get off program mode in all areas of my life, not just in my photography. This is my journey.
