Photo a day

Every once in a while, your creativity takes a dive, inspiration goes a wandering, and your artistic endeavours turn sour. Either that or you're just too plain ol' busy taking photos for everyone else that you stop taking them for the fun of it. And when I say you, I mean me.
I'm teaching Introduction to Photography courses and I set my students a Photo-a-Day challenge. And not just any ol' photo that takes their fancy; they have a list to follow. I've now commenced the same challenge but with a few extra limitations just to make it more interesting. And by interesting I mean harder. I've limited myself to one lens. The 50mm f1.8. And everything manual. Including focus. And I'm aiming for a high percentage of black and white images.
So here is Week One. They're not perfect or award winning. The idea is just to get out there and do it. I'm now taking the camera with me just about everywhere I go (part of the reason for restricting myself to the 50mm is so I can't use 'it's too big and heavy to lug everywhere' as an excuse.
It's certainly a challenge sticking to the list. I have more than one that I like of some subjects and others I'm not happy with at all. But I'm doing it and I'm enjoying it immensely.
