My February Photo Project


Goodbye February, Hello March
I cannot devote myself to the a photo a day for a year project because I get busy when I am at university, so I am going to do the photo a week project. But since I am in a term off school I decided to devote myself to a photo a day for February. To make it more difficult I used the daily prompts from Daily Dog Challenge on Flickr.

Creativity sure runs short when you are taking a picture a day, and the quality is not always the best as some are last minute pictures when it is starting to get dark or the dogs are not cooperating. Some of the pictures are not my best work, but by taking a picture a day I have managed to get some good shots.

I found this project a little difficult, I had trouble finding time to get out and take a picture every day. However I was pretty happy that I only missed two days and had to get them the next day. The prompts help me get out of my box and try new things.


Any suggestions for a March photo project? Does not have to be a daily project. I just want to get motivated and take more pictures.

Let It Snow

Photography by Infinity Photography

This is false advertising. As I would love spring to come, hoping it is just around the corner. However, with all the snow lately I have not been doing much with my horse, Lacey Jane. So she is just enjoying being a horse. I hope to get a early spring so I can spend more time with her and maybe use my trailer and get out riding with friends, before I head back to school for the summer.

What are your plans for spring when it arrives?
