The idea of one photo a week was quite popular in 2024, and it encouraged participants to take photos and showcase them without having to create a whole layout for them.
In 2025, I will offer you a little twist on this. Again, the idea is only to showcase a single photo at a time. You can showcase them as a flashcard, emphasizing the letter (you can use these free cards as a basis to create your own). Of course, if you want a different format, you can use a polaroid frame, a slide, or a playing card (like Susan was doing in 2024). Choose the format you want, and keep it throughout the year. But just make sure to emphasize the first letter!
Every 2 weeks, you will be asked to take a picture of something, at home (or around your home) that starts with a specific letter of the alphabet. The goal is just to be on the lookout for ANYTHING that can be photographed. You can stage the object however you want, or just take a picture of it in its natural environment. For example, you can showcase your favorite Mug, or your Pillow, or your Fireplace.
You can practice your photography skills if you want, but you can just capture things as they are.
Let's just encourage each other.
This is a no-pressure thread.
And if you skip a letter or two, you can always come back. You know your alphabet so you can easily catch up, whenever you need to.
Let's continue with the letter F. It could be your comfy Floor rug, a well-loved Frying pan, your decorative Flower vase, or the handy Flashlight in your drawer!
What will you showcase?
The Campus is the perfect place to learn more about photo editing, various techniques, or PSP in general.
This challenge will allow you to practice some of those techniques or use some tools.
This time, the Tut/Tech Challenge will be to create a gold element from scratch. Check your stash. What element do you have? Which one do you want to turn to gold (like the Midas touch!)?

I'm sure I'll jump on board with Affinity eventually. Perhaps when they are all 3 on sale in the summer, if they do that again. I would think I'd like to have all three if it's financially possible.
