Photo Fun

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  I had a really hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, and haven't been in much of a posting mood.  This month has just been one of those "blah" months.

Before I tell you about my photo fun, I do have a small PSA for you all...If you keep guns in your house, please, Please, PLEASE don't be a dumbass and leave a loaded gun laying around where your young children can get to it.  The hubby's aunt lost her 5-year-old grandbaby on December 23rd due to this kind of carelessness.

Now, onto our regularly scheduled program:
Every year, I think about doing the 365 Photo Challenge, but it never seems to work out.  I get busy, or I have a creative block, or I just forget.  For 2012, I'm going to try something new, and I invite you all to join me!

The first day of every month, I will post a list of 5 things to take pictures of during the month.  On the last day, I will share with you my photos, and there will be an area for you to link up to yours, as well.  The link will be open for one week, and at the end of that week (depending on the amount of participation), I will pick one photo from each category for a spotlight.

You don't have to be a professional or have any fancy/expensive photo editing software.  You don't even have to have a DSLR.  The only reasons for this exercise are:
1. Become more familiar and comfortable with my camera
2. Practice taking different kinds of shots and improving my photography skills
3. Have fun!

First list goes up January 1 - hope to see you there!
