i've been thinking about a few photo projects for 2009, and realized that one I'm doing right now is easy and fun and some of you might want to play along with me! :) Especially those of you who got new cameras or camera equipment for Christmas, or those that know they would like to do some little photo project but don't know where to start!
I'm focusing on a different color each month (I'm doing blue this month. I don't know why, but January is just a "blue" month to me for some reason).
I'm just searching out blue things around my house and outside (when we dare venture outside...) and snapping away. I'm not sure yet what my finished project will be, but I'm thinking of making a big rainbow colored (but not REALLY rainbow, since it won't be in Rainbow order) collage of my yearly photos.
You could do one photo a month, and do a 3x4 collage of your 12 colors of 2009, or 1 photo a week, or 1 a day or whatever.
You could post these on your blog or your flickr, and if you want, I'll link to your project here too. :)
One of my favorite bloggy friends EVER, Suzanne, puts together these random inspiration color collages and they make me so happy. I thought it would be fun to make my own using my own photos (although I'm tempted to borrow a few flickr favorites, because the talent over there is just INSANE).
here's an example or two of the mosaics that Suzanne's put together from her flickr favorites...
Beautiful, right? And so fun. Seriously, don't be overwhelmed by the thought of taking perfect pictures, just fun pictures of our favorite colorful things.
Okay, so if you want to play, let me know and I'll try to figure out some way of reminding everybody what colors we're focusing on and to get out there and take some pictures. :)
