New Year, New Projects

Photography Tip of the Month

I am doing a little project to challenge myself creatively. I started taking a picture a day and posting it to my photography blog, sort of like a photo diary. I am hoping it will help me step out of my comfort zone with my photography, improve my skills and help me remember moments I may otherwise forget. I would encourage anyone who has a passion for photography or is looking for a fun way to document your year to take on this project for themselves. If you choose to do your own photo a day project let me know, I would love to follow your photo blog. Swell Photography blog
