Don’t mind me.  I’m just excited because I’m down to double digits now.  Angelina is due in a mere 99 days!

Okay, I’m cheating a little bit with this first one. (What, only the first week and she’s cheating already??) I actually took this photo back in October, but I haven’t had a chance to showcase it yet. I think it’s kind of cute. It’s also one of the photos I took that inspired me to start this project in the first place, so I think it makes an appropriate first picture. I promise the next one will actually be taken some time this week.  :)

Some of you may have heard of Project 365 before. It seems to most frequently apply to photography, but I’d guess it could really apply to just about anything. Essentially, you set a goal for the year to – in the case of photography – take a photograph every day. You can blog about it, post it on flickr or facebook, or just keep it to yourself…just as long as you get in one photo per day for the year (hence the 365).

What better time to start on such a project than the beginning of a brand new year? Well, I already know this is going to be a big year for our family what with so many changes on the way, so I decided to start small. I’m going to do a Project 52. I’ll still likely take several pictures throughout the week. On Sundays I’ll post my favorite(s) from the preceding week on this blog. Not all the photos will be stellar, but that’s part of my reason for doing this. I want to become a better photographer. I’m starting this project with the intention that it will force me to get more practice and learn some new techniques.

So, look forward to some weekly photos starting this Sunday!
