Happy EIGHTH Blogiversary to me!

My poor, neglected blog. It's lost out to Facebook a little bit. And starting a photography business. Oh and my full-time job.

I wished I had come up with something super creative to celebrate this eighth Blog-iversary, but I haven't had the time.

For the first time in several years, I am attempting a photo project... two of them actually. I had come across the "Dogwood Photography 52 Challenge" in one of my FB photography groups and it sounded interesting. It rotated from landscape to portraits to artistic and I thought it would challenge me. And coincidentally, a friend of mine started a 365 project. Simultaneously, I realized that I had had a good streak of taking photos every day so far in the very early new year. So I 'publicly' gave myself this goal of BOTH projects simultaneously. An incredibly ambitious and perhaps stupid task.

I'm not going to punish myself if I fail at the 365 but I'd really like to not miss the 52 Week Challenge. So far, I've made it 40 days or 6 weeks!

Here's a quick recap -

          

Week 1: Selfie

             

Week 2: Traditional Landscape: 

          

Week 3: Artistic - Red:  

                               

Week 4: Headshot - 

 

Week 5: B&W Landscape - 

           

Week 6: - Artistic - Candy: 

My only constraints on the 365 project is that I'm trying to take it with my "big" camera and I'm wanting to try new things, photographically.

Here's to the rest of the year!
