Last year I joined many other photographers in an annual challenge to take 365 photographs, one each day of the year. I lasted until September when a combination of moving and starting gradute school got the better of me. Even though I didn't reach the goal I set out for myself, I did learn a lot through the sheer volume of the project, and I think my photography has improved ever so slightly. Here is one photograph from each month in 2010.
January: Ukrainian candy store near my old office in Chicago.
February: Valentine's Day.
March: In San Francisco's Delores Park with old friends.
April: My mother's peach bellini on Easter.
May: The old theater in Logan Square.
June: Caprese salad.
July: Summer vacation at the boathouse in Waupaca.
August: Hiking in Glacier National Park with my father.
September: My new apartment in Champaign.
October: Market squash prepared for roasting.
November: Barges on the Illinois River near Starved Rock.
December: Nick opening gifts on Christmas morning.
I tried to do this 3 years ago and only got to February. Nice work and great photos.

I gave up all my resolutions by about January 15th, so making it to September is awesome! And your photos are gorgeous to boot!

I love each and every one! I must say, though, that my favorite has to be the one from last February... course, I'm a sucker for hearts!

Absolutely beautiful, Gemma! I would pick out a favorite, but it's impossible.
