I successfully completed a 365 photography challenge in 2014!! I took a photo every single day for an ENTIRE year.

In 2015, I decided “ain’t nobody got time fo that” and I completed a themed Project 52 challenge – one photo per week, each week has a theme. Easier, but still challenging.

Now here we are in 2016, this year has already been off to a rough start with my dad passing, and everything that comes with it. Posting every single photo and having a theme wasn’t working for me.

I am still taking a photo every day for the whole year. But, I am going to make life easier and ONLY post my favorites that stood out each month.

Here are 7 of my personal favorites from January 2016:
