Project 52


One of the items on my 101 in 1001 list has been to complete a 365 day photo challenge.  After viewing the photo challenge Ashley over at Love From Home has started, I have decide to change my task to complete a Project 52 photo challenge instead.  This task entails taking pictures related to various themes each week, rather than each day.

I would still like to complete a 365 day photo challenge one day, but I am thinking that I will save it for the day when I eventually become pregnant and have a baby and do it to document every day of my child's first year of life.  And since only God knows when that day will be and for all I know it might or might not fall inside of the parameters of my 101 in 1001 project, I have decided to make this change to my 101 list.

My plan is to take the pictures during the week listed below for each theme, and then share the relevant photos each Tuesday following the end of the week of the theme.  The themes I have set for myself have been inspired by a variety of lists I have found online, as well as some of my own ideas/desires.  I am hoping that this process will allow me to also become a better photographer while learning the various aspects of my new DSLR (though I'm sure some shots taken with my iPhone will also creep their way into this project too since my phone is perpetually glued to me, unlike the camera).

    1. You can always begin your own at any time of the year! The one I got inspiration from was already a couple weeks into her project when I decided to begin mine. I've fallen behind these last couple weeks as I've been kind of distracted with my husband's deployment, but I hope to catch back up here soon! When I began my project, I looked at theme lists that others had used and then combined themes from them with ones I had come up with for certain times of the year in order to make my list my own.
