I finished my A-Z Challenge today! Wahoo! I stole the idea from someone I'm following, @valhamil when I saw her working her way through one, and another person I'm following, @mej2011 is now working her way through hers.
So, if you're at all feeling uninspired I recommend giving it a go yourself. I wasn't feeling uninspired but it sure was fun, and got me thinking a little more outside the box than usual.
Random useless factoids from my A-Z Challenge
Shots with cheeky titles: 3 (depending on what you consider cheeky)
Shots of my pugs: 2
Shots of my pugs in compromising situations: 1
Shots containing illegal substances: 1
Countries featured in my challenge: 3
Shots using tiltshift: 1
Shots of my daughter: 4 (!!)
Shots using macro lens: 3
Shots of sunsets: 4 (again, !!!!) - but one of them was edited waaay beyond recognition, so I don't know if that counts.....
Shots that made it to the pop page: 2!!! (I was over the moon about that unexpected side effect!)
I hope my followers enjoyed my A-Z Challenge as much as I did, because I enjoyed the hell out of it. Anyone have any suggestions for a new challenge I can set for myself??
Thanks for the views, comments, and, of course, all the FAV'S!! My followers are the best followers on the planet! Possibly the universe.
In conclusion,I leave you with my favourite shot from my challenge. I heart tiltshift. Like, a lot.
ps - I want to include one of Melissa's A-Z photos in this thread too, since I'm enjoying seeing her daily posts. I would include @valhamil's too, but she hasn't posted in awhile, so I'm not sure if she's still doing 365:(
Anyways, this is Melissa's B shot. I love the vibrant colour of it!
Colors... places... food... or you could *really* think outside the box and take your favorite book and challenge yourself to take a picture of something from each chapter. I'm doing good to take a shot a day (which I have failed miserably at already), I haven't begun to venture into the land of challenges! LOL
@pwallis -AWWWWWWWWWWWW! Thank You so much for giving me this shout out! I am sorry to see your A-Z challenge come to an end, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending it to me. As far as new challenges I think the book suggestion by @tkallen is an awesome idea. Or maybe the music inspired challenge. That is what I plan to do next. One question, why didn't you choose yesterday's photo of mine to display? Are you really that scared of me now? LOL!
@mej2011 - I thought of doing a music-y one where I take a photo of my interpretation of each song on a specific CD. My ex is a musician and I've often thought of doing that with his CD since I was there for the inception of it and even tho we're not together anymore that CD is near and dear to my ♥. I may have to revisit that idea... hmmm.
I enjoyed every single letter of your A-Z challenge, and I will definitely do it myself at some point. How about a movie/TV theme, you had Sophie's Choice already... ?
what a great job! I kind of came in towards the end but I'm dazzled by your creativity and I absolutely LOVE your wrap up, above! Looking forward to your next challenge.
@tkallen -Personally, I think it's a great idea and I'm sure you have a lot to say about those specific songs since they were such a part of your life! I'm not exactly sure how I am going to implement this specific challenge, I guess I"ll figure it out as I go.
Loved following the alphabet challenge and am def going to do it myself...Maybe today would be a good start. Also thinking of trying to do something featuring my favourite novels - maybe a cover or a visual representation....
I only just started to recently follow you. I enjoyed watching the wind down of the project. I personally have seen that project but I don't think I could do it just yet. It's awesome that you've been to 3 countries since you started it!
I've definitely enjoyed seeing your pictures for the A-Z challenge and will be trying it sometime soon. I was looking around the site the other day for some other challenge ideas and came across this list (maybe you could make this a challenge of yours one month?):

@soothingbeauty OMG I LOVE this!!! Thanks for finding this for me! I'm totally doing this - think I'm going to just "freestyle" for next month because I've got relatives coming from England, so I don't want to stress myself out trying to stick to a crazy challenge AND posting a photo a day - but I'm hanging onto this for sure!
Tweets ahoy!
