52 Weeks of Photography: Week 13

Week 12

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 13th week, so the 13th set of seven images, which means that I’m 25% finished. Wow, time flies!

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.

Because it was my kids’ spring break, I spent the majority of this week in Charleston, South Carolina, which is an incredible city! I had no idea. It wasn’t on my radar, but I’m so glad that we visited. I’ll probably publish a series of articles that better details the trip, for those who might be interested. Anyway, when you travel, photographing every day is easy, so I had no problems completing this week’s assignment.

Without further ado, below are the 13th set of seven pictures from this 52 Weeks of Photography project.
