A Year in Black and White - 2/52 and 3/52

I'm very surprised with myself - I'm actually continuing with my project!  Although I stalled the second week, big time.  It was the last day before the end of the week (new week begins on Wednesdays)  and it was one of those days where no effort was going to be made.  So I looked around the house and spotted something pretty.

2/52

This mask comes from Venice.  I thought it would look nice in black and white.  In reality it is black and purple.

Now my photo for this week is very different from the last one.  It's nothing spectacular by any means, but I am VERY proud of it.  It wasn't difficult to achieve, however this photo looks EXACTLY like how I pictured it in my head.  I think this is the first time this has happened.  And when I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY.

I think this project may end up being a lot of fun after all!

A Year in Black and White : 1/52

Last year I debated starting a picture of the week project, which I ended up turning down.  I was too preoccupied to even think about photography.  So I decided that this year I will do this project, but with a very simple theme: all pictures are to be in black and white.  

It's not complicated (at all, in fact, it's extremely easy), however it will keep me taking photos with my very limited gear instead of... not taking photos at all.  I'm actually a little excited about it :)  I have a few ideas written down and hopefully more will come to me.  And now I will be taking my camera every where I go again, like I used to in 2010 when I did my Project 365.  I think one of my New Year's resolution should be that... when I see something that would make a pretty picture, to actually STOP and TAKE the picture.  Instead of brushing it off like I've gotten in the habit of doing.

So last week I stopped and took the picture :)
