Photo-A-Day Challenge

"Art is too much fun to be restricted to those who are good at it." --Elaine Normandy

I had such fun the year I challenged myself to take a photo a day. Originally intended to jump start creativity and maybe even discover a writing prompt or two, I wasn't sure at first that I could keep up the pace. Reaching for the camera every day for 366 days--it was leap year--truly was a challenge and an ambitious undertaking. But except for four missed days (two because I misplaced my camera for a couple of days, and two because...well...I totally forgot!), I did it and I'm so glad I did.

The exercise opened my eyes and my heart to many neat images and memories. An amateur photographer (using a simple Sony point-and-shoot camera) and with little training, I do believe I learned much about framing, focal points, imagination, serendipity, and anticipation.

And so I share my month-by-month gallery here, along with accompanying monthly  themes. Hope you enjoy. And maybe by sharing, you'll be challenged to take a photo a day yourself and find out where the adventure takes you!

    I've loved and appreciated all your photos. I'm actually thinking about following your example and doing something similar.
