Throughout the month of March, our creative journey in my Develop with Light Facebook group has centered around the theme of "Finding Home: Exploring Heimat." It's been a month filled with introspection, discovery, and the shared exploration of what home truly means to each of us.

Unlock the secrets to nurturing your creative photography flow beyond the constraints of a 365 project with these inspiring and practical ideas, ensuring consistent motivation and innovation in your artistic journey.

For many of us, stepping in front of the camera can be a daunting experience, especially as female photographers. Self-consciousness often takes center stage, making it challenging to embrace ourselves fully. But here's the secret: self-portraits can be a powerful tool for self-acceptance and self-love. As we navigate the world of self-portraiture, particularly through the lens of manual lenses, we not only capture our physical selves but also our inner strength and beauty. It's a journey that builds a profound relationship with oneself.

The beginning of a New Year is always my time to reflect on personal growth. 2020 was an especially challenging year for all of us and even more so for us here in Southern California with the riots and wildfires that took place earlier this year. Beyond that, the number of Coronavirus cases are sky-rocketing and another stay-at-home order will keep us from socializing well into 2021. However, while living a socially distanced life, photography has helped me tremendously in dealing with stress. Today I want to talk about the benefits of a 365 photography project and invite you to join my online community over at Gather Academy.

Here in Los Angeles our live changed profoundly on 03/13/2020 when schools were closed and stay-home-orders were established. I only found out two days ago that the stay-home-order might be extended for the next three months. This has had a huge impact on how we see the world, especially as photographers and artists.

6 weeks, 25 families, and over $1500 in donations from you guys later, I want to celebrate all the families who participated in my project and helped me make it a success.
