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 15th week, so the 15th 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.
Had a great week. Co-lead a photowalk on the 4th, and attended a portrait lighting class on the 5th. Was fairly productive on several other days, too. There are probably a dozen pictures that might have made the cut to be shared in the weekly article if they had occurred in a different week (mostly captured over a four day stretch). Hopefully I can keep this up as the temperatures get hot here in Arizona.
Without further ado, below are the 15th set of seven pictures from this 52 Weeks of Photography project.
