2022 Weekly Photo Challenge
Week 1: New Year’s Resolutions
Welcome to a new year of weekly photography challenges!
With each new year comes a new chance to reflect, to re-focus, to set new goals, and to explore new directions—both personally and as a photographer. “New year, new you,” as they say. I hope you’re taking some time these days to reflect on what you hope to accomplish in 2022.
On a personal note, my resolutions going into the new year are all about intentionality, about setting goals and pursuing them with focus. One of those goals is to learn to play the guitar; my father recently gave me his old Yamaha 12-string acoustic guitar, and when I picked it up three months ago I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I now have a handful of chords under my belt, but I don’t think that really qualifies as having a clue. My goal is to learn & be able to play a recognizable song by the beginning of summer…preferably without a lot of snickering & eye-rolling from the people around me.
The image above also aligns to one of my photography goals for the year, that being to focus very intentionally on black & white photography by creating at least one portfolio-quality black & white image per week for the next 52 weeks. (I’m going to cut myself a little slack on this one and add “on average” to that, so I don’t lock myself into anything too crazy & rigorous!)
So what are your resolutions for the new year? Your assignment this week, should you choose to accept it, is to create an image that captures the essence or tells the story of one of your new year’s resolutions.
