I may be batshit crazy to start this with all the things i have going on but if I'm going to do this it's going to be fun. After all this is a hobby for me.

The rules that I impose on myself.

I will shoot 52 images during the course of the year.
I will shoot them in no particular order.
I will not be able to substitute any of my chosen theme.
I may shoot as many images in a week day or month, as long as the 52 is done by the end of the year it does not matter.
Every time I complete a theme, I will be crossing it out from my list bellow.

Now here is the fun part. I am picking 52 themes based on 52 song titles

LOL, you're not the only one. A few I'm a little nervous about. Especially the one "Across the universe". I've never shot a long exposure night sky before, let alone a one that came out acceptable.:confused:
I may have to call on [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION] for help with that one.

What an amazing idea and what great shots so far.
Now if I had this sort of imagination I might have taken up this challenge ...
Bookmarked for sure.

Love the song and the shot. I am really impressed with your talents. A few years ago we went to see "America" in concert. I was able to speak with the band after the show so I asked them if they had ever named the horse. They said, "No, but we rode him to the bank." Just thought that you would like that little tidbit of information along with your great shots.
