New Camera
So, all of 2011 was shot with my CoolPix Nikon. These first 10 pictures were shot with my new camera, the Canon Rebel T3. I hope to learn a lot with this camera.
What do you think of the new pictures?

The Beginning!
So, they say that every end leads to a new beginning. I finished my year in photos, but one of the more beautiful aspects to life is it can always be improved upon. So, I will continue my journey in photos. I won't try to promise this time that they'll all be from their given day, but I will try to weed out more of the...blander pictures.
Here's to a year of improvements!

The End!
So, I made it through the year, though I neglected this blog. I cannot claim that each day actually corresponds with the day I took the photo. Especially after I returned to the States, I had a difficult time motivating. I usually tried to get a photo I at least could have taken on the date I claimed for it. Though, there are times, such as around Thanksgiving, when I just took a lot of photos on one day to cover up a "bald spot" in my year of photos.
I found that the quality of my photos was often linked to how I was feeling. Looking back over my year, through these pictures, I can see, based on how much effort and inspiration is in a given photo, how I was feeling. There are spells when all my photos are lacking, and spells when photos seemed to fall into place for me. These usually correlate to what was going on in my life.
I decided that even when I fell behind in my photo taking, not to give up on the project as a whole. I'm not sure how much my photography improved during the year, but I now notice things that I didn't before. I still need to read up on photography more and experiment with my photography more, but the first step is complete: I didn't give it up.
