Project 52

So I have been doing a photography challenge called Project 52 for the past 12 weeks.  It has been very fun, and I have been able to step outside my comfort zone, but I find it very frustrating that we cannot make comments or ask questions unless they are insanely sappy sweet.  I had commented on one that it was a beautiful picture but they went to heavy on the linen filter in Photo shop.  You'd have thought I called it an obscene affront to humanity. 

So, my point being, while I enjoy the cchallenges, I am wondering if I could do better and break out on my own with something more local in flair, maybe geared to those in the 616?  I am really surprised at how many people enjoy photography, don't really want to be Paulie Photo pro, but still want to take the occasional wedding or confirmation pictures and feel like they have contributed.  And come on - - admit it, we all LOVE to hear we are talented and take amazing pictures.

I need to think on this and decide if I have the time to devote to such a project.  My vision is to have it be local - 616 area, have a weekly challenge and then maybe once a month do a walk about or location shoot for a few hours on a Saturday morning. 

I also started to promote the car photography!  Calling it Double Nickle Portraiture,  get it double nickle - 55, like the speed limit...  Yeah, I am probably the only one...

More to follow - need to hit the hay and dream up more amazing projects!
