Photo Project for the Year

Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to my blog and my first entry. I'm excited this year to be starting this blog and explore some of my passions and interests. For this first entry, I want to share one of my projects for the year.

As I explained in the about me section of my blog, I have always liked photography and I want to take some steps this year to improve my photography and just use my camera more. After reading about the idea of taking a photo everyday on a couple of different blogs I decided I would try it this year. One of the blogs I follow Girltalk has been doing this for the past year. You can check it out here. She calls it 52home. One of the other blogs I follow also does a similiar thing called one frame a day. Her post on one frame a day inspired me to try it this year. I thought it would be a great way to get behind my camera everyday and now that I have a beautiful baby to capture, I liked her idea creating a book at the end of the year of all of our photos as a way of documenting our year.

So this is my goal for the year. To take a photo everyday and post it here on my blog. My fear when I first heard of this idea is that I wouldn't be able to keep up and just stop. So I've decided that this project will be full of grace and while the goal will be to post a picture everyday, I'm allow myself the grace to miss some days and just pick up where I left off. I will be thankful for whatever I have at the end of the year and I'm sure I'll be grateful that I kept going even if I don't have 365 photos.

Because I couldn't think of a more creative title, I'm kind of copying what girltalk does by naming this project 365home.

I hope you enjoy following the moments I capture this year. Here is my first photo of the year.
