Capturing December Photo Challenge

I hope your December is going well. It's been a flurry for me. I can't believe we're almost two weeks into the month. It's flown by.

That being said, I have been able to keep up with the photo challenge I mentioned in the last post. I decided to post them all to my Flickr account, which you can find here: Capturing December.

I'm having a hard time thinking up content for some of the upcoming prompts, but hopefully I'll be able to keep going. I'm almost halfway done! I don't always do one photo a day - just like NaNo, some days I take two or three to make up for a day or two where I took none - but it's easy to catch up when I get behind. I know that's not quite the idea, but it's putting me in a photography frame of mind, which I haven't been in for awhile.

You'll probably notice that the quality of these photos isn't great: I'm using the camera on my phone because it's easier and faster to just send them to my email from there instead of taking out my memory card of my camera each time. Maybe next year I'll take the photos on my nice camera and do a blog with all thirty-one at the end of the month, or upload them once a week or something.

It's been fun. It's been a nice break from writing. I will dive back into writing and editing next month/year, but for now, I like thinking photographically.

Switching Gears in December

My co-worker, Jane's Girl Designs (go check out her blog, btw; it's a lot of fun whether you love crafting or not, she's quite sassy and always entertaining), introduced me to a photo challenge for December. Not that I need another month-long challenge, but I thought this one sounded fun, and even if I don't have my camera with me every day, I can use my phone to take photos.

I miss taking photos. I got quite good at it for awhile there, but I've gotten out of practice.

So, in December, I'm switching gears from writing to photography. It's a different part of the brain, but my writing side of the brain needs a break.

Besides, this is a great time of year to take photos. I'm excited about this.

I haven't decided if I'll post the pictures here or elsewhere, or if I'll do a post once a week or daily. Check back if you want to see how it's going. I'll at least link here if I do post them elsewhere.

Here's The Challenge List. Let me know if you decide to do it, too, and we can compare photos!
