project 3.6.5. - me

Hello, dears!  How I've missed you these past weeks...I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying your 2011 thus far.  In the time that I haven't been posting here, I've been sort of rethinking my goals for Clicked and Captured Photography...I'd like to post more photos, less words - and not quite as many how-to type things, or photo challenges (although they won't be completely gone).  In addition, at least for the time being, CC photo-challenges will not be held.  Sorry!  I know their are many, many other options if you're looking for a fun photography-centered challenge to participate in.


I love photography blogs where I can just scroll through the pages, and see the photographer's photos - beautiful photos - and be inspired.  And that's what I'd like Clicked and Captured to be become.

Also - for the year of 2011, I've started my own Project 365 - you know, the popular one-photo-a-day-for-a-year challenge?
However, I've decided to give myself a theme for these 365 days - "me".  As a photographer, I sometimes feel that I'm a bit neglected in my photos.  Other people, other emotions, other things.  Those, obviously, aren't bad at all, and I'm definitely going to keep snapping those photos as usual.

But, for this project, my goal is to capture ME each day...Not necessarily a self-portrait, but somehow incorporating myself, what I did, where I was at and how it applied to me...into the photo.  Every day, for the whole year.  It's a little bit uncomfortable (I almost feel selfish) focusing completely on "myself", but I'm looking forward to exploring more creative ways to incorporate me in my photos.

We celebrated the new year by visiting some friends of ours yesterday and staying until midnight and beyond...needless to say, I slept in rather late today.  And then stayed in my pajamas until about 4pm.  I love Christmas break so. (And these coke pants are favorites of mine.) ;)

I'll try to keep you updated weekly on my "me" shots (and they'll all be uploaded to flickr!).  Also, stay tuned for more photos and such coming this week!

love,

hannah
