Justin's Notes

Daily November Photos

Dec. 1, 2024

I wanted to try and challenge myself by shooting at least one photo a day and posting it. I ended up missing three days, but 27/30 days felt really solid to me. The hardest part for me was that I often don't leave the house. I work from home, so unless Syd and I are going out or I have church, I often just end up being at home all day. While I still love many of the shots I took at home, I felt like I started running out of things to take photos of unless I left. In the end, I felt that my photos were more personal, and I was taking more time to find a shot that I enjoyed. It was a fun challenge, and I am sure I will do it again. I hope you enjoy checking them out!

Nov. 13: I didn't get a photo on the 13th. I honestly had a busy day and by the time I thought about it, it was 9PM. I didn't want to just take some random photo to post something, so I took the loss for the day.
