Photo Challenges - Why I do them & why I do them alone

Time for a new blog, my topic this time: Photo Challenges!

With the new year a lot of people attempt to do the "A Doll A Week" a weekly photo challenge, some are even that ambitious to do the 365-Challenge, a photo for each day.

Back in 2014 I started my very first attempt to do a photo challenge, I got a DSLR as gift 1 1/2 years in before and kinda wanted to do more with it than just taking photos here and there. The weekly challenge of the ADAW seemed fun. On the top of this entry you can see my very first entrance for it. As you can see it started with a quite random photo.

I can tell I didn't make the full 2014 according to the ADAW but as I checked my files I noticed I indeed took photos each week?! Therefore I failed but .. also did not. It was somehow weirdly motivating for me to see that I can do it.

2015 was the first true attempt for me to finish the ADAW, this time with more effort. Because just taking photos is boring right? Aside taking more photos I wanted to feature each doll I had, around that time that was still very much possible with 52 photos for the 52 weeks of the year.

I was prepared, this was the first pic of 2015 .. well.. no. It wasn't I took it in advance and this is one of the points I later on disliked how I approached the whole thing. I was in a flickr group for some time and the same theme was going against my own liking, that people just took 20 photos at a time, posted them (all looking alike) and were finished with the whole challenge within half of the time.

I asked myself if this was what I wanted? The whole thing started to frustrate me, as I tried to come up with cool ideas and I saw other people half-assed their entries. Of course each to their own but no passion for the project, 'cheating' with multiple photos from one photoshoot just to make it "full" that seemed wrong for me.

But I managed to finish 2015! My first year with 52 weekly photos taken. The next year started with a photoshoot as well but I didn't use it for the ADAW.

Instead I took a break to regain and started with another idea:

Names! Like this one was named "ADAW 01 - Frost Pattern" I made it into an own challenge to add creative titles to go with the photos, also I added more and more photos, not just one but multiple. This was to challenge myself more and more. Still I tried to be motivated by others and motivate them but somehow... it still was turning me off that people approached the whole thing less .. uhm.. strict? I can't really put it into words, I just can tell as I later on within the years tried to build up a guide how to do the ADAW I got so demotivated seeing others doing it that I had to put the thread in the forum on full ignore and do my own instead? It's super weird.

What really got me going though was that I started to print my photos. 2 Photobooks for one year, having my photos printed made them more precious to me. I still make photobooks and last year I reached the maximum page count for the books and uhm.. might need to do three a year if that continues.

I can tell I got hooked by photos. Sometimes it felt hard to start over though, to start with "nothing" all over again, as I tend to null & void my own progress in my mind and well.. "new year, nothing done" got me hard sometimes, that's why the first days of the new years were hard for me to find ideas.

Also the fact that I still tried not to feature a doll twice got harder and harder even given I had more than enough dolls. But you know how it is, right? When you restrict yourself you want to do exactly that what is restricted.

Did I feel drained in the process of taking photos weekly? Oh yes, I did. Especially because I decided I have to take WHOLE PHOTOSHOOTS and sometimes even posts with outtakes to share fact about the characters. Some weeks I was so demotivated.

But a thing that helped me going was ... routine. And the photobooks. I picked a day during the week I was taking photos, which for me is Saturday, and it's still mainly Saturday to be honest.

It was 2019 already and you can see I returned to taking new year's photos, 2020 was similar. But I got tired of the ADAW thing, because it was kind of still setting to close borders for me. Taking photos weekly was becoming easy for me because I did it for so long. I still kinda tried to keep up with other hobbyists but in 2020 with the pandemic I cut ties with my local community and decided that 2021 would be the first year of me not doing a 'A Doll A Week'

Wait? What? Yes, you read that correctly.

Welcome to my own challenge the ... Weekly Photo!

This might seem not much of a difference but allows me to take photos, not just of dolls but of landscapes, people, animals and that was important to me. I still mainly use it for dolls but I wanted to do an own challenge, without any link back to the 'rules' of the ADAW and without the mental connection to the community I had left behind.

With the Weekly Photo I started to thrive. No more (own set) boundaries, every doll could be featured, even 20 times in a row, no rules, no titles, no themes, just me and my camera. For the sake of being creative.

And that's what I can tell you about my challenges... do it for the creativity, do it to challenge yourself. Don't be that dumb like I was and think you have to stick to what everyone else does or that you have to do it a certain way.

Now taking photos became so easy for me I see it as challenge to use the seasons as canvas to come up with something, to learn what light/time is the best.

I can tell my photography has envolved because I dared and tried, I challenged myself, revisted ideas but didn't try to set boundaries to my own creativity.

To be honest I now see photo ideas everywhere and almost have to stop myself from taking TOO MANY PHOTOS because .. I still need to sort them out :')

Oh a little thing that still is a rule for me ... I didn't bury them all: the first photo has to be taken in the actual year. Yes, I stayed up super late to take Tamani's photos as the first set of 2024 just to be sure I have that done.

I'm not sure if this entry is helpful for someone, for me looking up the old photos (I put in one for each year of a challenge) was super interesting and with a super busy week and weekend behind me I wanted to do a lighter topic for once.

I can tell writing down really helps me to reflect the hobby and to think through some decisions.

Year of the Alice Day 214

This is my first (and hopefully only) one-year project (which will be only 365 days) and this one is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-themed.

In this pic, Dread Lord Nelgel challenges the Hero from Dragon Quest X to a game of crochet with a green flamingo in hand. Like Jorgan said, the green flamingos are much meaner than the pink ones.

(Note: This is for the 10th anniversary of Dragon Quest X.)

Made with Microsoft Paint.

Enjoy! ♠️♥️♣️♦️

Okay, so.

I can't believe it's been a year already! It feels like only a few days have passed since I started this challenge. And I'm truly astonished to realize that I've stuck to it and actually shared a picture every single day! 🎉

So here we are: the very last day of 2021. I hope this little collection of mine has brought something to you all — some kind of comfort, maybe? At any rate, it certainly has been a real pleasure for me.

Therefore (and in order to celebrate the end of this year properly), I will today share with you not one, but ten of my favorite pictures of our dearest boy. We're not messing around, right? 😌 (Alright, I have to admit that I couldn't choose between all these pics, but perhaps you've read through me already...?)

Thanks a lot for sticking with me during this whole year! Love you, guys 🖤

🎉🎉🎉

Everyone has a Downside, He isn't Excused

vernon x reader || romance || 1.3K words 

warning: mention of blood

tbh this is not really romance, it’s a short description of hansol’s life

He was probably the weirdest and the toughest man you passed by in life.

He wasn't afraid of any extreme entertainment; haunted house ride, skydiving, any kind of spice, putting water in extremely hot oil, walking as if he owned the hall when he was ten minutes late to class. He gave a little to no fuck about challenges in life. If his parent put him in a sports club on his younger day and he chose to be a long jump athlete, he probably would be good; or you could send him as a shepherd with no internet connection for two months and he would come back with no scratch; it was some strong kind of endurance partnered with adaptivity, or witchcraft.

So, maybe, maybe that's why God gave him a little downside—that could kill him in a colossal amount but on a usual day it was only mildly annoying.

The boy was allergic to mundane things you stumbled upon in everyday life. He was hardly enjoying springtime when the grass became less green and more colorful, as flowers blossom here and there, because the pollen made his eyes itchy; he couldn't eat peanuts, where it came in so many delicious snacks and foods; he loved cat to death, he probably would have a dozen if it wasn't for his busy life, but he was kinda allergic to them. It was comedy.

Plus, this stupid reckless boy, who was brave enough to punch someone in the face for messing up with his sister or friend, constantly had a wound on his lips; not because of chapped lips and sun combo, nor because of the fighting he had once in a while. This boy just felt like, eh, it's a good day to bite my lips until there was blood on it, and he needed to put an ointment, stay calm for a while and, oh hello another good day; a fridging vicious and addictive cycle.

Though—at first—you didn't understand in the littlest bit of why it became a "cycle".

"It's a reflex," he said. "I don't know, I just bite it when I find something cringe or funnily dangerous."

Except, anything his peer group said or did was cringe or funnily dangerous; from talking with a lovey-dovey tone in public like a romance classic novel to coloring someone's eyebrows with red chili paste—his mates was, suffice to say, insane.

The first time his lips got sore after you dated him, he sent you a chat with a crying emoji and an "aw" , followed by a picture of a drop of blood—as a proof because he was like some kind of an indestructible god until now. It was alarming. You saw blood, meaning pain, and you hurriedly jumped out of your bed, going to a store, and knocking on his door.

The sight in front of you was not what you foresaw.

Well, there was someone who was tired and in—a bit of—pain, and the other was the happy healthy one, but he was the fine one. Standing while hugging his orange cat Leo, with a small scar, yet super red; a little lost.

"Oh, hi!" He welcomed you and ushered you to sit on the couch. "I didn't know you'd come."

"Well, I brought you a compress for the scar," you said, "you sent me a pic and I thought it was painful?"

"Yeah, for five seconds, it's fine by now."

That was one of the oddest and funniest excuses you heard in a whole year, and just like that, your effort went to waste—in your defense though, that was also the first time he sent you a crying emoji.

You sighed out loud, meanwhile, in a flash, he gave you a kiss and a hug and the damn cat was trying to keep it civil with you.

"Thank you for the ointment, by the way. I'll keep it for the next one."

"The next?"

"I get this once in a while."

Glad you bought two because once in a while meant 24/7/365.

Dear God, sometimes you wondered, why were you worried for a man that should barely survive the world, but was actually thriving in life? Seriously, if someone hated him, they could just lock him in a greenhouse or sneak up peanut on his meal, and get done—well, he was an awesome person, so perhaps no one disliked him that much, but—you believed some super force magic must be circling around Hansol.

You should just stay put and enjoy the day—like him.

It wasn't easy.

It took time for you to not get panicked every time his lips bled. For the first fifth time, you bought him a new ointment and compressor; by the eleventh, you tried to breathe and mumbled it's fine, it's just a scratch. It was annoying for you too though, worrying for a grown-up man who made biting lips his habit. But after the twentieth, you had let it go. For someone as pretty and as magnificent as him, this one addiction simply served as a reminder that no one is perfect except God.

Well, another downside, you could go with no kissing for days, sometimes a full week if his scar kept reopening.

Not that it mattered that much though.

You can still kiss him on his eyes and nose and cheeks, and he would press his lips in return, on your knuckles and arms and stomach—though not as strong as you. And his love surging through his hands on your arms, whisper in your ear, and everything in him that was all around you.

Anyway, the third time it happened, you slept in his apartment. It was half-healed at the time you arrived and instantly got better.

His olive-colored sofa was soft and fluffy and comfortable, you probably had been there for almost three hours, devouring the melancholic novel in front of you, with five minutes breaks two or three times to get another drink or go to the bathroom. The sun was barely seen on the west when he snuggled up on you, made you—forcefully—put down your book and wrapped your hands around him instead.

"What?"

"Nothing." He buried his head deeper on your chest, voice muffled. "I just miss you."

"I've been sleeping in this apartment for two days," you ruffled his dark brown hair, "what kind of missing?"

He sat up and let out a witty smile, then he brushed your lips with his. "Missing to kiss you."

You laughed at the rare sight of him being so soft and spoiled. Your fingers voyaged to his jaws, thumbs softly brushing the corner of his lips. The rashes weren't as bad as the first time, it had become flat and the color faded into soft pink.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"Yep." And he leaned closer to give you another light peck.

"You said it hurts?"

Then another kiss, not quite a peck right now "It does, very faintly."

You pulled yourself and gave a look what are you doing. "Hansol ..."

"Oh, come on. The bit of pain dawns on me after I kiss you, I can't feel it when your lips are on mine. So maybe,"—two kisses, short and sweet—"maybe we can kiss all night long so I don't taste the pain."

And he was gone for the long endless kiss before you could deny any of it. Left hands wrapped your neck, fingers crawling on your back, chest going against each other. You wanted to let go yet wanted his desire too, and in the end, you succumbed.

Well, maybe the aftermath of his habit wasn't that bad.

note: this was supposed to be a short writing under 500 words after my friends talked about Hansol’s constant wounded lips, I thought it was from his allergy, but people said it’s his habit of biting lips lmao. So, I just kept typing and typing describing him and a bit of seventeen dynamic (ofc edited a bit), and end up with 1.3K rambling and a little romance

solid upper body day 💪

(also peep the back muscles in the second pic 😋)

Sunday morning workouts are my fave. I feel like they really kick off the week on the right foot. Plus it gives me a little bit of solitude to zone out.

Yoga (YWA “Move” 30 Day Challenge) this morning was a 30 minute “rest” practice that focused on breath technique and light stretching. Not quite what I was looking for in an early morning practice, but it was calming nonetheless.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga streak 9/365

Happy Sunday!

DAY 4687

Jalsa, Mumbai                     Dec 29,  2020                 Tue 11;21 PM

The work ethic of a worker is the continued work that needs worked on work .. a continuity that defeats all other feats and is indeed a deed of some semblance when the balance is of an extreme stylised style , incorporated by the rated operation of the word that has been followed ..

.. and what a beginning to the Blog for the DAY ..

There is great and extreme admiration for the several members of the Ef family, that continuously challenged their creativity in putting it out there for all to witness and see and feel .. at times I wonder how in the living world do they get the time and the creative impulse to make in such beautiful admirable designs that come across the social medium of Twitter .. 

look at this ..

   .. I mean .. its stunning .. and I put it up not just to acknowledge the effort of the creation but to admire in time that these are the visuals that shall form the very needed part on the site ABsoluteAB ..

So thank you ..

So to come back to the beginning .. when the volume of work is needed to be done .. as in DONE .. then its the busiest that needs to be accosted .. for he or she is the one that shall systematically destroy the myth that the busiest is the last resort for the management that dwells on being substantially busy .. in a most considered manner .. got it ..?

No .. ? 

never mind you wren’t supposed to anyway 🤣🤣

The year cometh to an end and the greetings of hope and betterment for 21 reach enormous volumes .. greetings through cards , through gift hampers, through the message counters , through any conveyable manner .. 

It demonstrates the generosity of the giver .. their keenness to wish to connect with them the desire the following 365 to be different , to be better that the previous and on .. 

Its such a magical moment of communication .. hand made cards .. pictures of the family in them .. or at times just the beauty of the rising sun of the new year and the last moon of the previous .. 

.. IF ONLY THEY KNEW .. 

who ..? 

why the sun and moon of course .. 

Our prayers of blessings sought from one .. our romanticism from the other .. 

At times quite the opposite .. 

.. and as time and science become vigorous and demanding in their discoveries, the entire gamut could go through enormous change .. and none could be wiser .. 

.. finding another Sun maybe .. or several other Moons .. which the brains behind such discovery often talk about and bring visual proof .. and the wonder in the thinking - where and how is all this happening .. who is there manufacturing all this .. why is that image unseeable  .. where does this all end .. is there an end at all .. the Universe in its fathomless space has never been assessed of its length and breath .. I mean there has to be a measure first ..

Ain’t it ..

The talk is ever of the soul and the heavens and the hell .. of ‘swarg’ and ‘nark’ and the ‘jannat’ and ‘dosak’ .. 

describing them is fine .. it shall never be challenged .. no one that has seen it has ever come back to talk about it .. taken some pictures for proof .. which I might add is the latest universal occupation of mankind .. the PICTURE .. the Pic as the genext describe in their very sophisticated lingua  .. its become the hobby of the millennium .. 

NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND /WOMANKIND HAS THEIR B EEN THE LEVEL OF DOCUMENTATION AS HAS BEEN AND IS BEING BE IN THIS GENERATION ..

.. really ..?

.. how factual is that .. ?

many may argue that there is that science research and belief that the entire existence of our Universe is documented , kept in a format that is not visible or seeable , but is there .. surrounding us all and about .. all it needs is the tech to get a sound and a byte .. 

I mean whoever thought that ‘wireless’ would be the prime most used word and its usage the most necessary .. 

airdrop bluetooth cloud internet , and several others that erupt each day are passwords of the talk among us all .. gadgetry and the coding of apps and info designs are like ‘peanuts’ being sold on the wayside ..

The age of wonder and question has been diminished to being lined up as an imbecile .. ek ‘mahamurkh’ .. !! 

The moment there is talk on question or on the wonder a simple movement of the fingers and hand on a palm sized impunity is referred to and there .. the answers and results show up .. no stress .. no worries .. 

For us that have lived by the grace of the unknown force for the 78 years many a thing attracts our attention .. cars phones roads tv radio transport .. ahh .. the list is endless .. and because we have been fortunate enough to see and witness both the worlds, it at times brings a queer and surprised look on the genext .. and there is dismissal .. at times lingering on the factor of a deranged and imbecilic medium - US 

SO .. to come back to where we started .. give the busiest guy the work to be done .. it shall be the done from any other given ..

Amitabh Bachchan

25/01 Update!!

We had snoooooooow!! 😍😍 only for one day before it melted away, but man it was fun. I’m having lots of fun with messing with my hair, it’s already fading so cutely and it’s long enough to tie back a little bit now!! 

I’m giving myself a little 5 week challenge starting this week- from now until the end of February I’m going to try and stick to some routines!! It’s all stuff I basically do already BUT if I follow it every day until the end of the challenge I’m going to reward myself with some new earrings and silly face gems that I want to buy, so it’s going to all be more fun this way 💪

Daily goals

-post a daily selfie and a little workout log! 

-log food and water on fitibit app

-no alcohol for the duration of the challenge

-no buying lunch at work, gotta bring something homemade

-read for at least 10 mins (starting a new series that my housemate has leant to me 🥰) 

-daily japanese and korean duolingo practice (I’ll hit my 365 day streak tomorrow so I’m not letting this slip!!)

These are all hopefully super achievable so I’m excited to start!! The daily posts are going to be the most challenging because I’ll have to be a little less self conscious about sharing pics with you guys, but I want you all to be able to follow along with me and interact 💕

Oh and just out of curiosity I’m going to put my measurements under a read more to see if anything changes! I don’t have scales in this house so I have no idea what I weigh but I’ve done a quick measure for some data. 

Let’s do this!! 🔥🔥

Waist- 74.5cm (relaxed), 69.5cm (tensed)

Hips/butt- 100cm

Chest (over sports bra)- 88cm
