Project 365_2013 week 1

I haven't been getting the camera out as often as I used to. I know that's hard to believe, but life has been busy, and I've felt either uninspired or unaccomplished on the photography front, so for a while getting the camera out has felt self-defeating. But I miss the joy of taking and having the pictures, so it's a goal of mine in 2013 to try and get back to my former camera-toting self. To get myself started I am going for another 365 this year, or a photo a day. I found a 365 community that posts a technique for each week, and a subject for each day. I won't be following those guidlines for each and every shot, but it's there to fall back on for those days when I'm feeling particularly unsinspired, or we're still in our pajamas at five when the light is quickly fading.

So, here's week one of 365 in 2013.

day 1, subject: resolution (phone shot)

day 2: new beginnings

day 3: repetition. For me, a favorite book I love to reread, and the repeating set of matryoshkas that sit in front of it (that's my Russians shelf)

day 4: fur

day 5: colorful food

day 6: with words (no match)

day 7: movement. Calvin's first gymnastics class (phone shot)
