I was recently reading through some photography material I purchased, and one of the instructors mentioned that shooting in the same situation over and over again is a great way to measure progress. As you grow, you approach the same things differently. You see them differently, you process them differently. If I were to look at a picture of a flower I took a year ago, and compare it to a picture of a family I shot last month, how would I know which was better? But if I compared a picture of a flower from a year ago with a picture of a flower from yesterday, it would be way easier to see any changes.
I’m in the beginning stages of a 365 project for 2014. One photo per day for a full year. I attempted this back in the Fall of 2012, and only got a few months in before giving up. This weekend, I went back to look at those photos. I also picked 10 photos that I’ve taken in the last couple weeks and found matching counterparts. Here’s what I came up with:
I’m excited to maybe do this again a couple years from now 🙂

Love this idea! You sure have grown, love the new artistic perspectives! Love the clock pic. Amazing how something so simple can look so lovely! Taking pics of board games is fun, have a few of those myself. Should try this sometime.
What a great exercise! I love this concept! Wonderful pics that demonstrate amazing growth as a photographer! Keep up the good work!
Thanks ladies!
