12 Photo Assignments of 2020

Here I am getting into the spirit of the
silly season

What is it all about?

So you are reading this and wondering what it is all about.  The 12 photo assignments was an idea of Marilyn Benham and started on the now defunct Google+ social platform.  The idea was for a monthly challenge that didn't require oodles of your time to complete.  Marilyn has decided to step away from running the challenge for a year and I (Penny Kerr) have agreed to carry the torch for 2020.

This challenge will be run on Tipua within the group "12 Photography Assignments" and all entries will need to be posted in there.  As this is a private group and you need to be a member if you wish to either view the entries or want to participate.  Yes you can be a member and not participate.  If you have not used Tipua feel free to check it out.  Currently it is a small social site with a couple of hundred members.  We are always happy to welcome new members.

The address for Tipua is https://www.tipua.com/ and for the "12 Photography Assignments" group https://www.tipua.com/groups/12-photography-assignments/

For something different in 2020 all of the words are going to start with the letter S. How you present these words as an image is entirely up to you. This exercise is not about pressure, or feeling like you have to present something.  It is about having fun with the aim to get you taking photos (preferably matching the theme) at least once per month.  

The only rule is that the photo must be taken in 2020 and presented in the last week of the month associated with each word.  So if you want you can take all of your photos in January.  It is not important.  The person that I judge to have the best image each month will be made the header of the community for the following month.

Here are the words along with their due dates

Shadows - Due between 23rd and the 29th of February

12PAof2020 - January theme: Shoes

This is my take on the theme for January of shoes.  I was riding my bike down the Eastlink trail and saw a pair of converse all stars.  This was taken while I was riding with my mobile and has a nice segue into next months theme of shadows...
