This is a one-year photo-a-day project called 52 Weeks of Photography. Even though it is a year-long undertaking, I’m taking it one week at a time, because it’s a little easier to manage many small blocks than one large chunk. This is the 12th week, so the 12th set of seven images.
The reason why I’m doing this 365 Day project is because I noticed some gaps in-between my images last year. I didn’t pick up my cameras daily. On several occasions, four or five days passed by without a single picture created. Twice in 2024, I skipped a whole week. I want to rectify this, and get back into the habit of daily photography. I also want to elevate the quality of my craft in 2025, and am hoping that this will help.
The plan is to capture a year’s worth of notable images, either personally or artistically. Ansel Adams famously stated, “Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.” It’s important to keep expectations realistic, but I’m also trying to avoid thoughtless snapshots just to fulfill the day’s requirement. I want to push myself to be better, and hopefully that will happen. Not every photo will be great—in fact, most won’t—but I hope they are all at least decent enough to be shared without embarrassment. And maybe when the whole project is complete, there will be 12 significant pictures (out of the 365) that I’m particularly proud of.
I did not finish the big Film Simulation Recipe project that last week I told you I was hoping to finish and share. I’m really close, so hopefully soon. I’m pretty sure I have all of the pictures that I need for it, I just have to finish writing it up and putting it together. We’re only a couple days away from the X Summit, and it probably won’t get published before then.
Without further ado, below are the 12th set of seven pictures from this 52 Weeks of Photography project.

Hey Ritchie
I don’t know if these upcoming recipes are one or more but the photos look great. Can’t wait to check them out myself.
I appreciate your kindness. Think something along the lines of the Film Dial Recipe…
That library picture is wonderful. The lines, the muted light. Your pictures always have a wonderful American feel: it’s like you give the scene a helping hand with your camera skill and eye, and it helps you back with its Americanness. I love it. It’s all so different from here in Britain, where I also enjoy using Fujifilm r/f style caneras. Thanks for all your recipes and examples in these great shots.
I appreciate your kind comment! Thank you!
These look so good! Please don’t keep us waiting, Ritchie! 😅
Thanks so much!
