Picture
Summer
30 days of splashy seasonal
celebration
Picture
Summer is a 30-day photography project intended
to encourage and inspire you to celebrate the
season of sun and fun by playfully engaging
your creative spirit.
There's
no single season more conducive to having your
camera at the ready; this makes it not only
simple to maintain a photo-a-day project but
it makes it that much more fun. Shooting images
that go above and beyond the summer shots from
years past, you'll start using your camera as
a tool for seeing, appreciating and celebrating
your vibrant life. The outcome will be a sweet
slice of your life in an image a day. Nothing
else is required. No end result to work toward:
just your own unique vision personified in a
picture. For these 30 days, that alone is enough.
As
you are greeted each morning with a new photo
prompt in your inbox, you will discover new
ways of seeing things as you point your lens
toward your daily life and the world around
you. Summer is a time where most daily routines
are turned on their ear and the combination
of long sunny days, warm weather and a lack
of schedule can be a blessing (offering a well-needed
reprieve from the rest of the year) and a challenge
(chaos, kids, travel). Taking a few minutes
to put it all in perspective will help make
your comings and goings that much more enjoyable.
The imaginative guidance of this e-class will
be a perfect way to start each day.
In
her book Simple Abundance, Sarah Ban Breathnach
says:
"Summer
is not so much a season as it is a melody, that
tune of contentment we hum as the days begin
to beautifully blur. The pursuit of happiness
becomes our personal priority…"
It
is my hope that by participating in the Picture
Summer 30 day project, that you will not
only be pursuing happiness, you will be living
it, one day, one picture at a time.
