White On White

Whenever I get burnt out on photography, I start a 30 Days series. I pick some basic element of photography to focus on and I take one picture every day for a month. It gets the camera back in my hands and usually sparks that creativity in my brain that has been laying dormant for a while.

This time I picked white on white as a theme. Mainly because my friend Jen left me with a bag of cotton balls and q-tips that has been sitting out on my vanity for a month. I've been looking at it everyday and the other day, I just wanted to shoot something and that's what I grabbed. And while I've never been to photography school, I've heard that one class assignment is to shoot an egg on white. That's a great way to learn to control shadows. So for a month, I'm going to play with white. By the end of the month, I should really appreciate shadows and how they define an image.

Here are my first two attempts. I'm happy to say, I'm excited about photography again.
