Photo Challenge #9

Hey everyone!  I had a little idea this week, after thinking about my own struggles with getting the challenges done on time and I thought we'd switch it up a little.  This week is going to be another portrait challenge.

Rules:

1.) You have to take one picture of yourself every day for a total of five pictures at the end of the week.

2.) You can take ONLY ONE photo a day.  

2.) The portraits can be honest, simple, all the same, tell a story, or be contrived in some way or another.

3.)B/W or Colour

4.) Tweaking is not allowed.

If it is your first time submitting for a challenge please go here for more info on how to submit.

In an age of digital photography I think sometimes we get too comfortable with the take and toss mentality.  This challenge is an exercise for all of us to really take the time to think about what we're doing before we do it.  There was a time before digital cameras where a photographer had one negative (usually glass and sometimes a tintype) in their camera and that was it. They had to know exactly what they were doing to make it count.  So don't worry about your picture looking perfect. Use this as an opportunity  to learn about what you and your camera are really capable of.

Have fun!

Challenge #1 Round Up

Hey Everyone!  So happy that you all decided to submit your photos!  Please feel free to visit everyone's photos and leave your comments (if you haven't already).  If you feel so inclined don't hesitate to post a response to other's comments.  It's always nice to let your viewers in on what you were thinking and it helps us learn how to verbalize our intentions.  

The next challenge will be posted Monday, January 26.  Have a great weekend!
