I am going to cheat a little bit and explain my image for this week because I feel like it. =)
I cannot live without my parents. They have given me so much. Though more importantly, I cannot live without my mom. She has taught me so much about how to be kind, generous, positive and a gentleman that a beautiful woman would like to marry someday (thanks Brisa!). That is why she is the focus of the image because her work ethic, unselfishness and love means so much to me.

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, ipad2, 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 Thursday, January 5th, Week 23: “Habits” will be due. The image must be created between today and January 5th. Good luck!
