Susanne 365 and Beyond: Passiontide

Passiontide

During Passiontide, the two weeks before Resurrection Sunday, all images of Christ, the saints, and the cross are veiled with purple or black cloth to remind us of His suffering before and during His crucifixion. Here's my prayer corner with my icons and my copy of an "Old Masters" painting covered with black, awaiting uncovering after Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. I miss the images of Christ but also look forward to their unveiling as part of the joy that comes with the Resurrection.

About Project 365

Project 365 started in January of 2007 with about fifteen online friends from the United States and beyond who resolved to post "A Photo A Day." The goal was to learn about photography through daily practice and looking at and commenting upon each others' work.

Several devoted photographers kept going in January of 2008 while most of us resorted to less-rigorous schedules of posting our photographs. But in January of 2009, about ten (perhaps more!) of us were back in the saddle, ready to shoot, post, and learn. Most of their blog sites are listed further down the sidebar if you'd like to view their work.

I took another break for 2010 but am back for 365 for 2011 with a new Facebook group of friends, many of whom you'll find in the sidebar.

I am using a simple point-and-shoot camera, an Olympus Stylus 740. Many of my fellow photographers are using far better cameras, so the quality of my photographs will in no way equal theirs. However, I still hope to "learn to see" better this year as I jump back into Project 365.
