My first year photography students have almost daily photo assignments. One each weekday and then an extra credit weekend photo. There are times due to schedules or even technical difficulties that have resulted in no assignment that day. Also, I've given the option for the occasional Muligan (if you can't make the topic work, do one of your own.)

I decided to put a little pressure on myself too. Shoot a photo every day of 2019. I've attempted this in the past, only to find starting in January is very challenging as the cold dark days of winter can make creativity a real hassle. I've decided to lighten up and allow the very occasional skip day.

Anyways, here is the year so far.  Some days there was difficulty in chosing a photo to represent the day as I had many. Other days were simple snapshots. Some were last minute, "hey, you have to get a shot in!" days.
