On February 2nd, through the joys of a friend of a friend's post on facebook I saw Teesha Moore's post about this February Photo A Day challenge hosted by @Fatmumslim, an Australian blogger who takes the most interesting photos. I was intrigued and decided to play. I needed a bit of a challenge to inspire my "quick and dirty" photography skills as I prepare for teaching my Quick & Dirty Photography workshop.
For the FEBphotoaday challenge, 1,314 people signed up. That's right, one blogger has inspired almost 1500 people to take one picture a day. How amazing is that?! And I'm half way round and right side up ;) the world from her.
Little did I know that this challenge would teach me how to turn the mundane into the artistic, the ordinary into extraordinary. Also, prefer to show off tidbits that come across artistic than to show you a full image of my front door. For example, for 2-9, the theme was, "Front Door". Instead of showing off my front door, I chose to show you the front door of a really neat salvage store in Portland, OR called The Rebuilding Center.

Normally, I wouldn't have thought folks would find interest in it, but if you enjoy Grimm (episode: Of Mouse and Man) and you've actually scoured the corners of this store like I have, you'd like knowing that the entrance to the place is way artistic and an example of using salvaged materials to create art.
Below is my collection of photos for February's challenge. As I went through each day of the month of February, I pinned them to my FebPhotoADay2012 Pinterest board and on the :: Calm Under Tension :: Facebook page. I have played with Typo-Insta before, but this really got me working through the app. I learned lots of ways that I do and don't like pictures edited. I love having text on a photo, and I found that I can capture and create art on the fly with ease! I've enjoyed the challenge and playing with Typo-Insta on my phone so much that I'll play again in March. Won't you join me and expand your skills?
