The March Equinox Project

I've been meaning to do a proper color photography post. Now I've got an excuse and a plan.

1 - A few posts back, I mentioned some colors that remind me of spring.

2 - I read about this color walk in the lovely Whimsy Love blog.

3 - Then, today I joined an Alt Summit online class (which you can find here) about projects to get your creative photog juices flowing. One of the exercises suggested was to come up with a project and do it.

I'm going to combine those three totally unrelated pieces up there into a new photography challenge: the March Equinox Project.

Here's my challenge:

  • I'm choosing one color every week
  • Taking lots of pictures of nature in various shades of that color
  • Sharing a collage of that week's color with you
  • Then at the end, make a collage including my favorites from each color
Duration: From the March Equinox to the June Solstice

That means that I'm already 1 week late! So this week, my goal will be two colors and two collages.

I'm choosing green and white to start with. I'll be sharing a full collage for both in one week.

For now, I'll leave you with just a bit of green sprouting from our apple tree that I happened to snap this weekend.

I didn't know I'd be doing this challenge when I first edited this picture, so it's textured. The others won't be.
What creative challenges have you embarked on lately? Would you like to join me?

    How very sweet - it's like spring is peeking out at you. The creative endeavors I've been involved in revolve around idea generation - it's a lot harder than I thought it would be!

    Oh, this sounds like fun! You are always so good at self-motivation with regard to your art projects. I wish I'm more like that. :)

    Can't wait to see your collages! I love this idea but I've already got too many projects on my plate to join. I'll be looking forward to seeing yours though!

    What a great idea - I wish I could join in on this one - but work says no. Instead I'll have to enjoy the fruits of your labours.
