When SoFoBoMo (Solo Photo Book Month) started, the idea intrigued me as a project. However, I really did not know exactly what I wanted to photograph. I just thought it would be a good idea and would stretch my experience and knowledge.

I assumed that I would do a book related to landscape and the outside. It was possible that it would be birds. However, my original idea did not pan out for several reasons.

My husband suggested that I photograph the Courthouses around our area. We have some lovely small town squares with the courthouses centered on them. There is a real feel for small town life on these squares. I thought I would try this.

It was a lot of fun going around and seeing the different areas. I am not from southwest Georgia, as my husband is, so this was a new experience for me to visit each city.

I have discovered that I am not a great fan of photographing architecture, regardless of how lovely it is.

More importantly though, I have found that I enjoyed the challenges associated with photographing buildings. I have learned much more than photography however. I do not do much post-processing with my images. These courthouse images with their resultant issues of wide angle leaning and curvatures challenged me to learn much more about post-processing.

Overall, it was a lot of fun. I look forward to doing it again, whether here or on my own restrictions.

I also want to say thanks to the other photographers that participated. Your books provided me with a lot of inspiration as I continue to enjoy photography.
