I found this FJ Summer Photo Prompt and I thought it had some great ideas. I always mean to but then don't actually do them. I do photo a day a few times a year and I love them when I'm done. Is anyone doing anything like this this summer? Or anytime soon? |

I am doing a photo a day for the year but zero prompts. When I've tried to do prompts in the past but the photos I didn't feel the photos were of much significance.
I like the lists for general ideas but to "have" to take x photo on x day just doesn't work for me.

I haven't - mostly because I have no shortage of photos to scrap. I like the concept though and have it tucked away for the future

I like the idea of this but I already take a photo a day that's not themed.

Thanks, Elsabelle. I downloaded and printed the list. I have done a photo a day only once or twice. I seem to take lots of photos some days, and none for days on end. Having a list like this to look at from time to time is a nice reminder to grab a pic I have not yet snapped. Looking at FJ's list, I already have photos taken over the past few weeks to meet several of the prompts. |

I am so far behind in my scrapping that I don't do the challenges.

No; I'm "left-brained" & already creatively challenged; plus, like 950nancy, I also have a backlog of photos/stories to scrap. |

No, I put too much pressure in myself and end up lasting 2, maybe 3 days trying to get the perfect whatever I’m supposed to be doing.

I haven't done any in a long time but I like looking through these types of lists to get ideas for photos to help round out my stories on weeks/months where not much is happening.

I love the photo prompts/challenges that grammadee sometimes posts, and I always do them. I already do Project Life / P365, and having photo prompts is really helpful when I'm stuck for thing to photograph. Especially in winter when life is boring! sleepingbooty also comes up with some fun photo prompts around Christmas. Sometimes prompts can be a bit limiting, for example "at the park" or "S'mores" from the list posted here. We don't have S'mores here, so I'd have to skip that one. I like prompts that grammadee and sleepingbooty have done such as Reflections, Heritage, Transition, Hope, Open etc. They are open to interpretation and give you a lot of options. |

I did a photo a day challenge last October. It was fun.

Awww thanks, AussieMeg. I have stopped doing photo challenge b/c there were not many people playing along. Might have to come up with something for August... |

Thanks so much, AussieMeg. I always try to be as inclusive and expansive with the prompt ideas as possible so no one is excluded and everyone can tap into their creativity to use it in a way that suits them. I really enjoy working with concepts rather than specific (and thus restrictive) ideas. I'm already halfway through coming up with the DD story + photo + product play prompts for 2022. Hoping to have them finished before October so I can relax a little before the December madness this year!  Maybe I could even be fully prepped with the DD thread well in time to just focus on my own photography and stories for once (ha, a girl can dream)... |
