The Benefits
We can’t have a decision on long-term projects without also including some fun, now can we? After all if there are no benefits, why bother?

One of the most obvious benefits is that you’ve taken on that challenge and accomplished what you’ve set your mind to finish. Also, the motivation that comes from knowing there is a purpose behind what you’re shooting.

Who wouldn’t like seeing their work being displayed at an Art Gallery or in book form? This would also give you that great since of accomplishment besides possibly making some cold hard cash.

It’s good to have something to do when other work is slow. Really helps to keep that photographer in you moving and maybe even trying some new things.

Good luck! I’d love to hear about your long-term photography projects.

Ya know it’s cold out when your snot freezes to your nose.

Yes, this is from one of those famous “drive by shootings”. On Sunday, hubby and I were driving around when I spied this remains of a tree. I had my camera with and asked my husband to go back so I could make a photo. It’s funny and yet ironic how the holes drilled into it by a woodpecker form the face of a ghost. I had to shoot it, I couldn’t resist.
