Weekly Photo Challenge
This originally started out as a personal photography challenge, but over the course of 2012 many others joined in. The name 52 Pick Up was relevant because through the challenge I hoped to “pick up” my photography style and further advance my craft. I enjoyed the year of challenges, but found what I enjoyed most was meeting many others who shared my love of photography.

Hi Sherene, I had been working on a piece about Changes, and as our weather has finally turned Spring-like, this week’s flower challenge was a natural fit. Here is my post http://lovemorestudio.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/in-spring-anticipant/ ~peace, jason
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing! And, thanks for the “like” on my blog. Enjoy the day.
I appreciate that you stopped by. Feel free to join in any time.
I was born in 52 but a late starter with camera…so this is the chance I need to up my skills. Look forward to joining you with the next theme
Glad to have you aboard! Feel free to join in with this week (flowers) or next week (family). ~ Sherene
Here is my submission for this week’s Obsession Challenge! Thanks for the idea, I think it came out well~ Jason
Just to explain a bit, I wanted to examine what an obsession IS, how it FEELS in the brain, what it REPRESENTS– all through the lens of nature depicted in my photo-poems on my blog. Hope you like!
Well done Jason! The photo itself is intriguing and the poem certainly adds to the mood.
I am obsessed with fountain pens! 🙂 http://nprimopiano.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/vanishing-point/
Such a lovely photo!
What a great idea! I’m going to join in. Thanks for liking my post.
Glad to have you aboard!

I seem to have fog in my blog. I included a link to your page as well 🙂
Well done Jason! I love the mood created by the lighting and composition.
Thanks! We are in winter here in Brasil, and on the shade side of the mountains, I get little sunlight. I decided to go moody AND a self-portrait as well!
Nicely played! We on the other hand are experiencing what is traditionally our two nice weeks of summer here in Alberta, Canada. I’m crossing my fingers that the nice weather lasts a little bit longer this year.
here is mine for this week

Oops. I’m sorry. I’ll do that. I know what you mean. It’s really crazy right now. I actually completely forgot about a doctor’s appointment I had today. LOL! Thanks again …

Hi Sherene! I just came upon your blog and your great challenge this week and thought I’d join. I like that you require us to come up with something in the current week because it forces me to think of something different.
