52 week project: Week One~Around My House
Sometimes I get so caught up in my new photography business I forget to take time for myself. Stopping to take images for fun, without any stipulations, and only myself to "impress" is very therapeutic and relaxing.
Many photographers challenge themselves with different yearly photography goals such as the 365 project, where you must take a self portrait every day and post it. Others do a more scaled down 52 week project where you must take an image a week.
Many of these projects have themes and growth that you must strive towards.
Knowing myself and the time I have, I did not think I could achieve a 365 project.
I read on another photographer's blog that he is doing a 52 week project where he has chosen to take one day a week to do a photography "walk".
This idea really sparked my interest. I decided it was something that was "doable" for me. So once a week for the next 52 weeks I will show you some of my own personal work from my photography walks.
This first week my son and I walked around my yard at my home. There are so many interesting things "right under your nose". You just need to stop to look.
Let me know what you think of the results of my walk.

Absolutely fantastic Melinda! My daughter and I went for a walk this morning. We passed by this bushed area. I said, look at that... maybe we should come back with the camera and take a picture of that. Rain drops on limbs and berries. We have so much nature/beauty around us. Fantastic!
I am LOVING the 52 week project already! You are very talented and I can't wait to see what's next! =]
WOW, Melinda. These are just FANTASTIC images. Met you on Clickinmom's. Good luck with your project. I too, am doing Project 365 over at my blog!
