One thing that I’m really starting to enjoy about this challenge is looking back. We go through the days, weeks, and months so quickly that we tend to forget all of the fun times we pack into 4 weeks. It’s already March, and I’d swear we just celebrated Christmas – where does the time go?
February was particularly challenging because we had so much rain, ice and snow – lots of overcast days with no time outside for pics. I found myself taking pictures of dish towels, books, broken garage doors and reflections in door knobs. Yes, these were dark times, literally. But even with all of the short, overcast days, looking back at February reminds me of how much we packed into the non-overcast days. Geocaching, Julia Child’s Beouf Bourguignon and even a few pup pics. Since I’ve already blogged about Snow 2010, these faves are basically runners-up to everything shot on that beautiful day (how could you beat that day?) And how unfair is it to call Julia Child’s Beouf Bourguignon a runner-up? Oh well, that’s February!

One thing I’ve learned while doing the 365 day photography challenge is that some days are easier than others. There are days when I find myself struggling to find something to take a picture of at midnight, and other days when I wake up at dawn totally inspired. And then there are days like last Saturday, when Mother Nature decides to turn our backyard into a winter wonderland.
In South Carolina, we only get about one snow per year, and I’ve seen so few “big” snows in my lifetime that I can remember them all. This past Friday night was the 3rd time that snow has been in the forecast for our area this year, and we’ve seen everything from ice to rain, so we didn’t know what to expect. But what happened was absolutely perfect. While we were sleeping our yard was covered with about 4″ – 5″ of fluffy white powder. When we woke up it was the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen – the sun’s rays were shooting through the trees and the snow was just sparkling. When you’re doing a 365 photography challenge this is the type of day that you only dream of. Being the proud Mom of 2 black labs, I immediately strapped on my camera to capture the moment. And wow. Just wow. Here are a few of my favorites – enjoy!

Last year brought many challenges and opportunities. The truth is, it came and went before I even realized it. As I started the 365 Photog challenge this year, I decided to go back and revisit a few shoots from 2009 to take a moment and just reflect on how awesome last year was. From New York to a 2 year old birthday party, 2009 was filled with fun and plenty of laughs. Here are my top 25 favorite pics from last year beginning with #25…. (please feel free to comment and let me know which one is your #1!)

I was recently inspired by the movie “Julie & Julia” and decided to create my own year-long challenge. I never seem to find time on the weekends to just play with my camera, learn new tricks, or take pictures of the daily insignificant details, so I thought this challenge would be a great way to force me to think of new things to photograph. At the end of the year I’m going to put them all together in a book as a “2010 Photography Journal.” Our lives change so much each year, I think it’s going to be very interesting to look back at all of the images and remember each day through the lens of my trusty D300. Each month I’ll try to post a sample of a few faves, and here are a few from the first 2 weeks of the challenge.

What started out as a cool weekend has become a Christmas tradition. My husband and I love to travel to New York at Christmas time. The lights, the people, the stores, the sights – they are all 10 times better in NYC during the holidays. We’ve been 4 times, so when I was packing for this trip I tried to think of a way to capture the city that I’ve never tried before. I always take my 15mm because the buildings are huge, and I’ve enjoyed my zoom lens to capture unexpected things that I don’t really want to get close to. 
So this year, instead of packing all of my lenses, my flash, etc, I decided to take just my 50mm, and see if I could capture a side of the city that I’d never seen before.
I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out. The 50mm gave me the flexibility I needed to get lots of low light situations, and also turned the Christmas lights into beautiful bursts of background color. Enjoy!
