365 project

There's a 365 project on my photography forum that encourages you to get out and shoot every day.  The theme changes every week and you're supposed to post each day, though it's not required.  I've decided to try it out since I mainly do formal portrait sessions on the weekend, but know that I can grow and improve faster if I practice more.  I especially love that there is no pressure to edit them (though you can, which I do so I can practice PP too) or have the perfect composition or all the requirements of a proper portrait.  Many of the themes are encourage you to think outside the box and the best part is that you don't have to rely on your kids to get an image.  You can take a picture of anything and your peers will critque it!  This week's theme was an easy one to start with, "faces".  The photo below is from yesterday's post, and here is today's submission: (I call it, "Has anyone seen my lens cap?")

Playing around with my new 85mm 1.8 (see the yummy bokeh in the background?!--this lens is amazing at achieving that!) and my new editing software.
