Making New Year’s resolutions is typically not my thing. But for 2016 I made a year-long commitment to take (at least) one photograph each day–a ‘365 Project.’ Some photographers give themselves “rules” for their 365–only shots of family, new technique each week or some other focus for their project. As for me: No rules. Just shoot!

Crazy picture-taking-gal that I am, I’m also taking on a ’52 Project.’ One photograph each week for a full year. And for this project, I do have a focus. My subject for my 52 Project is our garden. It’s something I’ve thought about for a long time, taking a year to record how the garden blooms, grows and dies across the seasons.

Here are a few of my photos from the first two weeks:

A shout out to Mamas with Cameras, the amazing and inspiring women I’ve met through this group–and their encouragement to tackle this project!

Take the road less traveled, Beth
