52 Week Photography Challenge - Week 1

Dogwood Photography, out of North Carolina, have come up with an awesome 52 week photography challenge for 2016. This seemed like a great opportunity to, in their words, push my photography to the next level. I'm not a professional by any means but I do like exploring the world from behind the camera.

I plan to take a videography perspective with the challenges as much as possible as that is where my personal interest lies. This is going to be great! I'm really looking forward to participating in this 52 week challenge and watching my skills improve and creating something unique and new to share with the world.

Here is my Week 1 Post - A Self Portrait
