Since it’s a new year, I decided to give myself a personal photo project. Thankfully I have been more busy with work related photography projects so this one will be strictly personal photos. I know myself and knew I couldn’t commit to a 365 day challenge where you have to take a new photo each day and post it. Although I do take photos on most days, I just couldn’t handle that pressure on a daily basis. I need baby steps!
So, I decided to do a 52 Week Photo Challenge where, you guessed it – I need to post a new photo each week. Yes, that I can handle!
The theme I came up with is the Alphabet. Each week I will have a theme with a different letter of the alphabet. Since this is the first week, I thought it appropriate to start with A – Anything Goes! So, if anyone would like to join me I would love it! I will post my photos(s) here each Sunday. You can put a link to your photo in the comments section. I will also announce the theme for the following week.
Here are my photos for Anything Goes…
My girls were making cake pops and goofing around…
I took them to one of their favorite restaurants in the area – Palace of Japan. This restaurant is really dark so my ISO was bumped up super high! I kind of like all the grain!
Hopefully I will get some of you to join me for next week. The theme for next week is B – Black & White!
Sounds like a fun, and do-able, challenge. Work has been slow for me. I’m glad you have plenty of work! Happy 2013.
I think things will slow down after this coming week. I am wrapping up a big project and then will hopefully have more time for blogging! The crazy cycles of being self employed!!
I like the idea. I don’t have a website or blog so what’s the best way for me to participate?
Hi Nathaniel,
Thanks for your interest in the 52 Week Photo Challenge. Do you post photos to photo sharing sites like Flickr? If so, you can post the link from that site in the comment section here.
Nathaniel,
Another option would be to post it to your facebook page and put the link here in the comments section for us to see.
Yes, I can do the FB thing. I think that will work…we’ll see. This is a black and white I took when I was stationed in Japan in 1978. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4246542757958&set=a.4246542597954.2148261.1117345440&type=3&theater
Hi Nathaniel, This is a great storytelling photograph – something I would bring to one of my classes. I would ask the kids to look at the photo and figure out what was going on. I am especially drawn to the little girls on the right wondering what they are looking at or where they are going.
For this week’s Celebration theme – take a NEW photograph 🙂 Check for the post on Sunday and put the link in the comment there as well.
