I’m at that point of winter where I’m completely uninspired by everything around me.

I’ve been taking a few self-paced photo classes and honestly, I’ve been meandering through them. This has very little to do with the material I’m learning, and more about me losing focus and letting a case of the uninspireds get me down.

Anyway, I’ve been reading and pinning and collecting inspiration photos to help me through, but one source in particular gave me pause yesterday. Have you heard of Miss B from Besotted Brand Blog?

I’ve been a reader of hers for several years now. A dose of cuteness, a dash of really exceptional styling, and lovely photography? Yes, please. This year, she’s tackling a really intense 365 day photo challenge, which she’s dubbed Project MXII – instead of taking photos once a day for a year, she’s going to be editing a photo once a day for a year.

I love editing more than is probably normal, but wow. That’s ambitious.

So, I challenged myself to take a photo and play with the edits today, for the sheer sake of editing and in honor of Miss B. I don’t think I’ll be jumping on the 365 editing bandwagon any time soon, but it was a fun exercise just to get me doing something versus just browsing around staring at stuff I want to be doing.

It was also nice to just play with textures and tweaks. I’ve been getting into the hazy photo look lately, but didn’t have the guts to try it on a photo of mine. That’s one thing I can check off the list!

What about you – do you have a favorite edit?

To see more of Miss B’s work, you can visit her blog, her Flickr, or stop by her shop.
