365 Picture Today - Community Spotlight - February 2020
I am extremely grateful to four amazing women whom I have come to know and love ~ Amy, Garnett, Kris, and Lee. These lovely women decided to continue creating and maintaining a safe space for other like-minded photographers, like me, who love to follow prompts on a daily basis. They are such a blessing to many of us who love doing 365 projects. They started this new platform called 365 Picture Today on 1/1/20. Back in November 2019, they approached me and asked if I would like to be their Community Spotlight and Guest Prompt Writer for February 2020. WOW! I was thrilled and humbled and blown away that they asked this amateur photographer to be featured (who in my opinion doesn't come close to the creativeness and technical skill that so many others in our community have)! I was asked to answer some questions for the spotlight and they also gave me the prompt ideas for the day. 365 Picture Today is following the National Day Calendar and they gave me February 10 to write a prompt for. These were my choices:
National Clean Out Your Computer Day
National Cream Cheese Brownie Day
National Home Warranty Day
National Umbrella Day
Well, I sit at a computer daily so Clean Out Your Computer Day didn't appeal to me. I am not a fan of food photography, so brownies were out. I really had no idea how to incorporate a home warranty in a photo - so, that left Umbrella Day.
I was a bit famous for a day and found myself tearing up a few times with the kindness showered on me all day. The spotlight made me feel extremely loved and quite bashful to be honest ~ but it is fun to share my love of photography with others who love this project as much as I do and to also share my daily life with my friends and loved ones who follow me from my personal life. The community I share this journey with is family and we know each other so well. All because we share one photo a day. It was an exciting day for me!
