February is usually my least favorite month. I'm about ready for winter to be over, but spring is still a long ways away. It is often my slowest month business wise too and often I'll feel like I'm in a creative rut. To try and change that I decided this would be a great month to do a personal project. The idea was simple; do 28 creative portraits in the month based on the subjects ideas. I put the word out through social media and soon I had all the volunteers I needed and a few more too.

I asked to be challenged and everyone came with great ideas. Some simple, some complex - all a lot of fun to work on. I really got to put my thinking cap on this month and it went by really fast! Thank you to everyone who participated and those that helped along the way!
