8|52: Guilty Pleasure
PHOTO INFO Apple iPhone 15 Plus 1/60 | f/1.6 | ISO 160 THE STORY I started drinking coffee when I was about 10 years ago. My sisters and I grew up in Italy {my stepfather was in the Air Force}, where my parents were the pastors of a church that was about 2 hours away from our home. After services, they’d spend time talking, praying, and counseling those in need, while my sisters and I were left to our own devices. While my parents chatted, I’d help myself to the refreshments – cookies, hot chocolate, tea, and, of course, coffee. Sometimes my parents and the congregants would talk for hours,…

6|52: Wabi Sabi
PHOTO INFO Nikon D850, 35mm lens 1/8000| f/1.8 | ISO 160 THE STORY I pass by this building every time I walk between our campuses. I hope they never tear it down. It has so much crumbly, graffiti goodness. ABOUT THE 52 WEEK PROJECT I get ambitious at the beginning of every year and start photography projects that I never finish. This year will be different.

5|52: Looking Up
THE STORY Honestly, there isn’t a story here. This was, by far, the hardest of the prompts. I didn’t want to take a picture of the sky, I mean, the sky is beautiful, but I wanted something that would contrast with the sky, like a tall building or a plane. I thought it’d be easy as I usually see the crop dusters while traveling between the campuses but nope. This must’ve been the week all the farmers decided to let their crops fend for themselves. So the underside of a faux flower it is. ABOUT THE 52 WEEK PROJECT I get ambitious at the beginning of every year and start…

Many years ago, I taught American History I and II. Most of my students were freshmen, who were taking the courses to fulfill a requirement.

4|52: My Hometown
PHOTO INFO Nikon D850, 50mm lens 1/1250 | f/1.8 | ISO 64 THE STORY I live in a small town called Alexandria, in Central Louisiana. When I was in the Army, I was stationed at Fort Johnson about 45 minutes or so away from here and I had no idea this place existed. About five years ago, The Hubs had the opportunity to come back and, of course, I said yes because I love Louisiana. This mural is commissioned by a local marketing company just down the street from where I work. They change it every so often, but, before they do, the kids like to take pictures in front…
