During the last lazy days of 2010 when I was doing nothing more strenuous than blog surfing I came across a challenge that seemed totally do-able over the course of the year. It was a 52 photos in 52 weeks challenge (you can read all about it here).
Each week, on a Thursday, the theme for the photo is announced and you then interpret that through a photo every Saturday...for the year, or 52 times. Of course I will then have to make an album to house all those photos but for now I will concentrate on taking the photos, and really thinking about the prompt.
Having said that, I was sort of caught off guard with the first prompt as it snuck up on me and I nearly missed it!
Week 1: 20:11
The challenge this week was to take a photo at 8.11pm, and nearly missed it as we had just finished eating dinner so I looked up and this is what I snapped.
OK, so not very exciting but I did follow the prompt!
Week 2: Independence
The ideas had been percolating in my brain for a day but Saturday morning the photo just presented itself...here it was, barely 10am and I had an empty house. Oscar was off to a movie with friends, Byron was away camping with friends, Gary was taking his guitar to the guitar doctors (string problems, nothing it won't recover from LOL) and I was ready to hit the shops myself. That's when it struck me; this is what independence means right now and so I took the photo.
It only seems a few short years ago that a Saturday morning would find us all at home together or madly getting ready to head off to soccer.
Anyway, that's the photo challenge I will be following along with this year. I will try and be organised and post my photos each week along with the prompt.
