As a photographer, sometime you need to work on things outside of your normal purview and this project is going to help us (and you) challenge, grow and creatively develop your photography as a whole. Weekly for the next year, we will be sharing our images with you here!

For those of you interested in participating, PLEASE join us! The more the merrier! You definitely do not need to be a professional photographer, this is something you can easily do with your point and shoot, cell phone, ipad, etc. You can comment with a link to your image here on our blog or on our La Brisa fan page or you can tag La Brisa Photography in your image on your own FB page or use the hashtag #52WoA on twitter that way we can share your efforts with everyone else! If you are interested in joining our La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop group on FB, please request to join as we will also be sharing our images there too.

Next Wednesday, March 20th, Week 33: “GREEN will be due. The image must be created between today and March 20th. Good luck!

Here are our Week 31 – “MINIMALISM” images!

I love the minimalism of Bonsai- simultaneously having something at its most basic- but also most elaborate and something that took years, sometimes decades to create

Then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

John Keats, “When I have fears that I may cease to be.”


minimalism = simplicity. 

Here are our Week 32 – “MUSIC” images!


music is one of my earliest memories- it’s been a constant part of my life that I would never live without. Also- taking this shot taught me something new about my camera which is pretty awesome! yay for multi-exposure shots!

little hawaiian music. quite literally.


my wife gave me this guitar as a present while we were still in college. i played it a TON for about a month. calloused fingers and all. then i just stopped because my hand could not play the F chord. it made me really sad.
