November 10 on 10

Over the past few years, I have been a member of various photography boards and groups. Last month, I decided to join a fantastic photography forum called The Bloom Forum. One of my main reasons for joining yet another board was that I felt that I needed something new, to be surrounded by different people with different perspectives, something that would ignite a little fire in me. We all need new challenges, whether we are seasoned professional photographers or enthusiastic hobbyists (like me).

So with this new forum came some new acquaintances, some old friends, but most of all some great new (to me) challenges and projects.

Enter the 10 on 10.

Each month on the 10th, I will be sharing a series of 10 images from my day. What I love about a project like this is that you can just step back and snap away. No need for posed shots, perfect light, heck even focus is optional (not really). LOL

And the really fun part? Twelve photographers are taking ten photos and posting them on the 10th of each month. You may have come to my blog because you know me, or you may be coming here from the first photographer in our circle, my friend Misti Dawson. I’ll post a link to the next person in the circle at the end of this post so you can jump over to that photographer’s post. If you go around the whole circle, you will end up back here. Sound like fun?

Here goes...Novemeber's 10 on 10:

You'll notice that focus was optional on the first two pics. ;)

You can head on over to the wonderful and talented Jolie Starrett. Jolie (don't you just love her name) and I have known each other, from various photography boards, for a few years. I have always been a great admirer of her work, and I am sure that you will become an admirer, too. If you like what you see, don't be shy leave a comment. Photographers LOVE comments. ;)
