I hate to admit that I have been highly unsuccessful at routine photo projects. I’m sure you’ve heard of Project 365 – take a picture every.single.day for a year. I tried it on my iPhone and hung in there for quite a while a few years ago, but in my mind it didn’t really count since it was with my phone. And, a photo a day is not as easy as you think. Try it. I dare you. So I knocked it down a notch to Project 52 – once a week. That lasted two weeks. I know. Lame-O! I tried a 30-day filming project. Because, how cool, MOVING pictures?! One day. Yep. Pathetic.<\/p>\n

But I refuse to give up. I like the practice. I like stepping outside my comfort zone. I like connecting with new people. Soooo, my new project, the Clickin Moms<\/a> Monthly Challenge Blog Circle. I have a whole month to photograph one specific theme. Every month is something different. How hard can THAT be?<\/p>\n

This month? Food.<\/p>\n

Problem is. I don’t really cook.<\/p>\n

And, I typically wait until the last minute to do just about anything.<\/p>\n

This is already not starting off well.<\/p>\n

But I joined a group of other photographers on this project and I will not let them down. So, it’s Friday night and my post is scheduled to go live at 8 am on Saturday. So I need to take food photos. What else would there be on a Friday evening but cheese and wine.<\/p>\n

The cheese? Ossau Iraty, a French cheese, cow’s milk. Everybody loves it. I promise, you will too. Must try. Also, I’m just playing with a new macro lens. It was intended for babies lips and eye lashes and squishable fat toes. For now? Cheese. And brittle crackers. Oh well.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Also. The wine. YUM! Alexander Wilson Malbec. Hard to find. Luckily our friend and neighbor is good friend’s with the Wilsons. Oh yeah!<\/p>\n

And, that was pretty much my dinner. No cooking is good!<\/p>\n

If you’d like to see how other creative photographers in my group translated this theme, please continue along the Blog Circle and visit the very talented Solene Peralta<\/a>. P.S. There might be a little French!<\/p>\n
