Assignment #52 FLASHBACK {ONE YEAR AGO}

To celebrate doing these assignemnt for 52 weeks, we are taking a look back this week.  I just scrolled through all of the assignments we've done.  It was so fun!  What have you learned in the past year photography wise?
I got my first DSLR a little over a year ago and got bit by the photography bug right then and there.   I have made some decent progress, but still have lots to learn.  I've taken a few classes, can comfortably shoot in manual, and have developed some editing skills (thank you, Edit Me!).  I'm still trying to find my "style," but I'm much closer than I was a year ago.  Enough about me, though, I would love to hear more about YOUR progress!
Please check back for late entries and feel free to join in and send them to sarschro@yahoo.com!  Even if you haven't followed along the entire time, feel free to start now by taking a look back.

. . .and you can check out some really old photos on my kids' old blog/baby book. Miles and Stella wrote it, (wink wink) but they started to get all wrapped up with their social lives and pizza flavored goldfish and let it go. . . darn shame. ;)

 I feel like we've accomplished something here!  You should give yourself a pat on the back and take a couple of weeks off!  I'll be returning with more assignments after Memorial Day weekend.  Check back for assignment details!  Any ideas/themes would be greatly appreciated! xo

**special thank you to Sara and Kelly for participating in these assignments every week, or almost every week?!  Y'all know I think you're awesome!  And thank you to EVERYONE who has participated along the way.  Your photos inspire me to get better!
