Week One: 01/01 - 01/07

I decided that I really want to do a 52 weeks project, but I want to document it differently. Instead of having one photograph I want multiple ones and I want to use this as an opportunity to make a documentation for myself of this year. I feel if I do it this way I won't feel pressured and I'll actually finish the project.

Anyways, for the last shoot of 2011, I decided to take digital photos of Brianna in some sort of field and go hunting for pretty Christmas lights. I tried to take some digitals because I haven't shot digital in awhile.

For New Years, I went up to Syracuse and Liverpool to celebrate it with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. I love driving upstate, I get to see so much scenery, I wish I could make my mom stop every ten minutes just so I could take a picture. I had this grand plan to photograph my younger cousin Emily but she had the flu and wasn't feeling well so I just took some random pictures of her in the morning when I found some sunlight. Next time I visit, I really want to photograph the ideas I had.

On Friday, I was supposed to go to the city but things didn't really work out so I just went to Panera with some friends. I randomly decided that I would take pictures of Brianna and that's what I did. April came along and I used her as an assistant, she was so good. I had to go to Newark airport to pick up my dad's business associates from China. That took forever and I got home at like two in the morning.

Today, I went to Alice's house with Olivia, I met her boyfriend from Italy. Of course, I wanted to take pictures of him. I don't know how to describe his face but the features were so nice. He was the second guy that I've photographed. It's hard to photograph men, it's really difficult to direct them.  Later in the day I went to Starbucks and met up with Holly. We went adventuring on the local bike trail and I took pictures of her friend Taylor.
