I am happy to say that this week I am starting my very first 52 week project.

I have seen a lot of other photographers do something like this.

Usually it is a 365 day project, iPhone project, or something of the sorts.

I love these ideas but I know I could never commit to a 365 day project.

Knowing me I would get backed up and shoot all of them in one day!  And what is the point of that?

I wanted something to challenge me and also something that was more manageable.

I found a great list online that has a different project each week.

I have decided that I am going to change it up a bit and make each project something that is personal and represents me.

I am definitely excited to start this and I would love for others to join me!

I will be using the hashtag #52weekswithlukeandash

 If you want to join in just follow along on the blog and share your pictures with the hashtag above!

You can also post them on Instagram as  I will be sharing them there as well!  Our IG account is:

The first week is Macro.

I LOVE taking Macro shots.  They make things that ordinary so much more interesting.  So I really had to think of something that represented me and that would be interesting to shoot.

Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE coffee & tea!  It appeals to me on all 5 senses.  Taste, Touch, Hearing, Sight, and of course smell.

Anyone that comes over will automatically be offered a cup of coffee or tea.  It sets the mood for good conversation and a cozy environment for me.

So I figured I would start off with my favorite drinks… coffee & tea!
