Eager to move on from a fun but meandering photo-a-day Project 366, I've begun a weekly P52, ...less pressure (I hope!) and with a more focused approach to what and how I'm capturing the everyday. A kind reader unintentionally scolded reminded me about my not taking enough shots of family, so I plan to do more of that.
Although I'd like to go at my own rhythm, it's always a good idea to have some direction and schedule (lest I stray like with P366). So last week I started posting to a few P52 sites that looked inspiring and flexible. No strict themes or commitments. One that I particularly like is My Four Hens Photography (hosted by the talented Sarah Cornish) - themes are announced Sunday or Monday and images are posted to an active community on the M4H Flickr group... come join me!
This is a very "sweet" start! I love the softness (and choice of cap as playtoy:) Thank you for the heads-up on the site, I must check it out!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lulu :) I'm finding the P52 allows me to experiment a bit more...
Deleteyou have a good picture, where your little boy squatting in the back. I think this is a wonderful option for the contest.
ReplyDeleteespecially since I often see the frame photo
Valentina, thank you for the inspiration and "feedback" ... very much appreciated my friend!
DeleteSo precious!
ReplyDeleteI think a P52 is a great idea!
I just stole a moment to look at your P365 posts Melinda... Fabulous + Bonne continuation! P52 is definitely more my speed :)
DeleteThanks for the My Four Hens link and the project inspiration! I may have to try this out, though I'm not very good about staying on top of these projects myself ;) I am behind about three months! Wow, I really love the creamy colors in your photos here. So sweet with those little boy hands. One day they will be bigger than yours, my friend! Sigh...
ReplyDeleteCharmaine, I've so missed your presence online! ...I hope your projects continue to move along + go well. I started my P52 late, so you can jump in anytime you're ready :)
DeleteP.S. Thank you for the reminder my friend... I've had the sudden urge to capture all these little limbs and movements recently, they'll grow + disappear much too soon!
I love your project idea. so great. I am working on my photographs and my writing as well. And I LIKE deadlines, especially those made by other folks!xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca... I've found this kind of "discipline" helps :) I can't wait to see more of your photos and dive into more of your wonderful writing...
