dust. sweep. vacuum. mop. fold. scrub. TWIRL. wait, what?! As you can imagine, growing up in the Daberkow household left never a dull moment. Even when it came to cleaning. Open the windows, crank up the stereo, grab the broom and DANCE.
As some of you know, I have a difficult time sitting still, even more so when a beat can be heard. Tapping my toe, banging my head, two-steppin to the laundry room or going it solo on the dance floor. Doesn’t matter. Mamma taught us at an early age that that energy could be put to good use. and so we cleaned…while we danced, or was it the other way around?
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, April 5th, Week 36: “Family and Friends” will be due. The image must be created between today and April 5th. Good luck!
