Challenge

Since I know there are quite a few photographers out there reading this and a few wanting to learn about photography, I would like to introduce a challenge to you. I'm a firm believer that practice makes perfect and the one way to become a better photographer is to photograph things outside of your box, and photograph something.....anything......almost everyday. I find it really hard to step out of that box (the portrait box) and photograph other things...abstract things, and make them look good. Below is a list of weekly photgraphy themes, I found this on a random blog connected to a site called twopeas.com. I only glanced at the site and it's for scrapbooking people. (I'm not much of a scrapbooker). I thought this was a great idea to get myself out of that box and I'm extending the invitation to others.

Of course for the first theme I had to use my favorite, most uncooperative subject....and I really didn't get out of my box that much.....hmmm.
