I think it's safe to say that I've taken more pictures this year than ever before. It may be due to instagram, or the fact that I was given a DSLR for my birthday... it may have been that I was looking or that I carried a camera more... or it could have been because I never wanted to show up to the end of the week empty handed.
I am often in awe of those people that take a photo a day for a year. To be that on top of things, that ready to take pictures intimidated me. I wondered if I would run out of things or not see enough in my day to day life. I wanted to do something similar but not quite there, because I wasn't ready for a daily commitment, but I wanted a challenge. So I looked at last year's 52 in 52 and I made the subject pictures instead of books. I'm very happy I did. I took more pictures than I thought I would some weeks and others I only had a couple to choose from, but many times I liked what I had come up with and I took time to get to know my new camera.
It's been a year of slow growth that I am looking to continue in 2013. Photography will be a interest that I delve into further, learning Manual better, diving into photoshop and making photo adventures a priority.
Until then here's a look back at some of my favorites from the year.

I love your photos!! I need to learn more about my camera also. I hope to do that next year.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to learn more this year. I get frustrated so easily so I'm going to have to remember that being a beginner is okay. :)
DeleteSame here. Sometimes reading all that jargon is confusing to me, so I'll have to remember to be patient also.
DeleteSeriously, chica, with photos like these, it's only a matter of time before you're snapping away in Argentina -- and getting paid for it. I totally believe in your dream and in you.
