via emailNew project number one, for 2010. 
I have decided to do a more personal project this year, as a new goal to get out and shoot for ME more. I wasn’t sure where I would keep track of this at first–flickr? Facebook? A personal blog? Or here, on my business blog? Ultimately, I decided this would be the perfect place for my new project, for a few reasons. First, and most obvious, it is a photography project, so the photography blog made the most sense. I also thought it would be fun to give all my readers (hi, Cait!) a little glimpse into my world–I know you’re all she’s thrilled.They won’t all be people pictures, I have no idea what each week’s photo will end up being until I see it. But I’m so excited to be embarking on this, I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
Oh, one more little bit about this project: I’m doing it in black & white (well, I’m 90% sure I am). I don’t do nearly enough of this type of work, and I LOVE it, so this is my attempt at getting comfortable with it, and perfecting my conversion methods. My pics may look a little different from week to week, as I figure that out, but they will all be colorless!
On to the all important image for Week One: The Beginning. I just had to start off with an image of my daughter! I took this a couple of days ago, just us, hanging out in the morning. And yes, she’s chewing on a sock.
If there are any other photographers reading who are doing their own project this year, let me know, so I can follow along! And if anyone has a challenge for me (take a picture of –something strange/fun/exciting/new– and post it!), I’d LOVE to hear it.
(I still have an amazing session to post, I haven’t forgotten! I’m just having a hard time narrowing down which images to show, there are so many I just love.)
