It’s all over and done with… A little something for everybody I guess…
So… I’m going to give this a go. Many photographers embark on a 365 day project in which they create and share one image per day for an entire year. These 365′s as they are called help to motivate people to get out and shoot every day.
With my busy work and family schedules, I have decided to go the 52 week route. Just something to help keep myself fresh and active. This is where you’ll find me adding a photo every week for an entire year…
Hope to see you back here every week . . .
So there it is… One full year of weekly image postings.Stay tuned in to the blog for random image postings throughout the year. I’ll leave this page here so I can go through all of the images and try to gauge whether or not my photography improved at all over the last 52 weeks….

Can you tell that I’m really over this 52 week thing yet? It seems that I haven’t really made an attempt at a photo since the dominoes. This shot is just me playing with my new lens, a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR. I absolutely love it! Well, next week will be the final posting on the page and I will move on with my random photo postings on the blog. Thanks for coming back every week to check out my photos.
