My fingers feel and look naked when they don’t have a little color. I am constantly painting, peeling and repainting my digits, but personally, I prefer when my Mamma does it for me. This series of photos was unusually difficult: at a Starbucks in Albuquerque, NM for internet access, with a mini bottle, setting the timer and keeping still enough for a creative focusing point.

My life is full of clutter. I tend to buy a lot of camera equipment and I constantly invest in La Brisa. My worst habit though is how disorganized I am with my material items and my life. Unintentionally, Elvis wanted to be included as well.

As a photographer, sometime you need to work on things outside of your normal purview and this project is going to help us (and you) challenge, grow and creatively develop your photography as a whole. Weekly for the next year, we will be sharing our images with you here!
For those of you interested in participating, PLEASE join us! The more the merrier! You definitely do not need to be a professional photographer, this is something you can easily do with your point and shoot, cell phone, ipad2, etc. You can comment with a link to your image here on our blog or on our La Brisa fan page or you can tag La Brisa Photography in your image on your own FB page or use the hashtag #52WoA on twitter that way we can share your efforts with everyone else! If you are interested in joining our La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop group on FB, please request to join as we will also be sharing our images there too.
Next Thursday, January 12th, Week 24: “Fire” will be due. The image must be created between today and January 12th. Good luck!
