Northern Virginia Photographer - Number One

Every year we photographers are prompted to start what is known in our business "The 365". That means we gather up our camera and take at least one picture a day and post it either on flickr, facebook or other source so others can see. I am sure that all of the people who start this project have very sincere thoughts of finishing it, but I know for a fact that I NEVER would be able to keep up. In fact, I do not know of one person finished it last year.

This year I think we all got a little more realistic and a new challenge was put out there by many mentors and vendors in the field. Enter "Project 52". The new and modified "Project 52" is something that I think I could actually follow through on. The one I joined is going to give a particular theme each week that we have to try and incorporate into our picture we submit. We don't win any money, it is just a change to stretch our creativity and be inspired by others interpretation of the same theme.

This week the theme is "something around the house". As you can probably tell, that is a very broad theme. It could be anything from a Tylenol bottle to a child sleeping, and everything in between. As I was contemplating what I wanted to photograph for the project I had an itch to get my macro lens out and put it to work. Poor little thing has been sitting in my camera bag for almost 3 months just waiting to be put to good use.

So here is it. I'm putting it out there for the world to see and keep me accountable. This is today's "Friday 52" Number 1.

And a few others I took at the same time just to make it more interesting.
