In the spirit of my 2012 theme: “Inspire, Create, Believe”, I wanted to give myself an incentive to keep my creativity open and flowing. It’s so easy to fall into complacency, which eventually turns into beating yourself up over things you had resolved to do. That’s the whole point of creating a theme for the year, rather than new year’s resolutions. In past years, I’ve attempted a 365 project – one photo a day for an entire year. I always started out strong, but the reality of my schedule (running a photography business plus continuing to work two part-time jobs to supplement), soon left me feeling overwhelmed and guilty for not keeping to the goal.
So this year, I decided to take a little of the pressure off and join the “Let’s Do 52″ Challenge over at Paint The Moon. I think a photo a week is much more within my reach and the weekly suggested themes will keep my creativity fresh and active. If you want to challenge yourself to be more creative, you’ll find plenty of inspiration (and some fantastic photoshop actions and templates) over at Paint The Moon. Join the challenge with us, too!
