12 Photography Assignments of 2019

This is a challenge created by Marilyn Benham and has now been running for three years.  Marilyn was on the Google+ social media platform where a large number of similar photo challenges used to be held.  

The idea of the challenge is that at the start of the year you are given a list of 12 themes and the challenge is to take one photo that represents each months theme.  The only rules are that each photo must be taken in the current year and each theme must be delivered in the last week of the assigned month.  

Simple really!!!

The aim of the exercise is to get you out at least once a month and taking photos.  Having a theme simply gives you something to aim for.  Here is this years list in reverse order along with my images.

Feel free to play along

The 2020 list can be found here
