52 in 2016: January

I don't seem to be amazing at finishing these little projects, but a certain someone twisted my arm.  So… I am attempting once again to accomplish a 52 week project.  (I mean, at least last time, we did actually make it over half-way…)  This time, there is a small group of us encouraging one another.  The categories have been pre-selected and focus on improvement in three areas:  portrait, landscape, & artistic.  Let's just say I wanted to quit before I started, because week one was self-portrait.  Seriously!?  But I managed to translate the idea in my head onto the screen of my camera, so I guess it wasn't a bust…  One month done.

week 1 - portrait: self-portrait

week 2 - landscape: traditional

week 3 - artistic: red

week 4 - portrait: headshot

sky's the limit...

3 weeks down only 49 more to go…

so this week's theme was "sky scenes" and we asked you all to join along

the lightning I miss so much since moving to Germany…

and now, here's ours… 

I've been trying to get my "birds on a wire" pic for quite some time now, 

and was determined to make it happen this week… problem was, 

no birds on a wire.  But then yesterday… victory.  

Okay, well they're not technically "on" the wire, but I still love it!!  

Now, can you guess who is holding the camera in Laura's pic?  That's right, yours truly here… the funniest thing is that I had no clue she even snapped this photo!!  She's sneaky that one… 

thanks so much to everyone who participated, 

it was fun seeing all your interpretations!

join us next week for "inside my jewelry box"
