While i wil retain the '101 clicks' in the title, i have to remind myself that 101 days ended on January 15 2009. 71 clicks i've posted so far.
Now to sum-up the experiences and lessons to take forward,i thought i'd post a few points that i found valuable and interesting form another blog, "100-things-ive-learned-about-photography", by Darren Rowse at digital-photography-school.com

1.A better camera doesn’t guarantee better images.The best equipment is that what you have now.
2.Watch the place you want to shoot first with your heart then with the camera.
It’s about who is behind the camera, not the camera.
3.Henri Cartier-Bresson was right when he said that “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”
[.i wil have to agree, for every good picture i've posted, there are umpteen clicks that were bad or worse.]
4. Don’t think about what others may say about your image. If you like it, it’s worth publishing.Everyone has to start little.
5.Never compare yourself to others in a better or worse context.Find your own style of photography.It takes time to become a good photographer.
6.If you have an idea and immediately you think : No, this is not going to work - Do it anyway.
When in doubt - always shoot.Believe in yourself.
7.Get inspiration from the work of other photographers.Criticize honestly but respectfully.
8.Be thankful for long and thoughtful comments on your images.Seek out and learn to accept critique on your images.
9.Post processing = Optimizing your image to the best result.
10.Dedicate yourself to photography, but never browbeat yourself too much.
Finally,
Learn to enjoy beautiful moments when you don’t have a camera with you.

This is only a comprehensive list that i've posted as i look back at the past three months of having started a photoblog! There is a lot more in the list that i could relate to, and am looking forward to learn.
There is more of the 100 list, and each point mentioned in it is interesting and valuable and something every photographer-a newbie or experienced- would relate to.
Do check out the link: "100-things-ive-learned-about-photography".
Am hoping to come up with a list of my own soon!
