Happy New Year: Project 365 + 1

1/365: Mt. Helix Cross at La Mesa, CA

Update...January 4, 2016
Typical me to start on my first Project 365 on a leap year!  (giggles...) There will be 365 + 1 photos (Project 366) in my project but I'll still use #project365 on Instagram.  

Happy New Year!  May 2016 be a year filled with love, laughter, good health and creative projects.  I'm kick starting the year with Project 365, in which I'll be taking and sharing one photograph a day for the year.  I've heard nothing but great things about this project and I look forward to growing as a photographer.  I'm a bit nervous because it'll be a big commitment but with each nervous feeling, I try to remind myself why I am doing this project in the first place.  My objectives are:  to use my dslr camera more often than my camera phone, to push myself to learn about my camera and photography, to capture the ordinary in my day with creative eyes and to make each photograph with thought.  I'll be documenting this project on Instagram and you can check out my progress here.  I'll also be sharing my art and other photography projects as well.  Peace.
