Want to improve your photography but don't fancy doing or can't do a photo-a-day or a photo-every-other-day, how about a photo a week? In this challenge the idea is to improve your photography by taking a photo a week to a specific theme.
These are the rules I will be working to (the rules you follow is up to you so if you wish you can add or remove any as you see fit, the idea is to taking more shots and improve):
1) Must be a fresh photo every week - i.e. you go out and specifically take the shot that week.
2) Images will be taken to a theme picked at random from the list,
3) Week runs Monday - Sunday,
4) The theme will be decided in advance and posted prior to the start of the week (usually on a Saturday / Sunday)
5) The theme will be posted as a new thread each week in the Inspiration, Themes and Challenges section of the forums, it will appear in my signature and will be emailed to those actively participating (i.e. those who have asked to be sent an email)
6) Each participant should start their own Photo 52 thread in the 365 / 52 Subforum of the General Photo Sharing section of the site (to avoid 1 mega thread)
7) No photo included in the Photo 52 will be entered into the TPF Monthly Competitions.
8) Week 1 will be 5th Jan - 11th Jan
If you want to take part you can join in at any time, just start taking photos. If you want to be sent the theme each week in your email just PM me your email address.
Week 13 (30th Mar - 5th April) theme was Up
Week 12 (23rd - 29th Mar) theme was Poverty
Week 11 (16th -22nd Mar) theme was Relationships
Week 10 (9th - 15 Mar) theme was Wisdom
Week 09 (2nd - 8th Mar) themes were RESHOOT & Identity
Week 08 (23rd Feb - 1st Mar) theme was Wealth
Week 07 (16th - 22nd Feb) theme was Crowds
Week 06 (9th - 15th Feb) theme was Special
Week 05 (2nd - 8th Feb) theme was Opposites
Week 04 (26th Jan - 1st Feb) theme was Surprise
Week 03 (19th - 25th Jan) theme was Learning
Week 02 (12th - 18th Jan) theme was History
Week 01 (5th - 11th Jan) theme was: Reflection
EDIT - RESHOOT Cards
After Week 06 a number of (5) RESHOOT cards were added to the bag to give the opportunity to go back and RESHOOT a one of the previous themes to demonstrate how far you are progressing. However, as not everyone may want to go back and RESHOOT it was decided that if a RESHOOT card is pulled from the bag another theme is drawn from the bag. In the event of a RESHOOT week those taking part have 3 options.
a) Pick a theme from the previous weeks and go and RESHOOT it to demonstrate their progression (Posting 1 new photo)
b) Use the theme on the second card and continue as normal (Posting 1 new photo)
c) RESHOOT a previous theme to show progression and use the theme on the second card (Posting 2 new photos)
To ensure that there is a gap between RESHOOT cards once one has been drawn another cannot be drawn for a month

Call me a wimp if you like but I know that I won't have to time (or inclination) to do a 365 in 2009. However, I can see that those that have done their 365 this year have improved and I want some of that. So I thought about what I could do to get out more and take more photos and would be more achievable. So I thought that the next logical step down would be a photo every week.

OK now the self indulgent bit is over, I need your help with some themes to run with.
Here's a few I may start with
New Starts,
Fun,
Relaxation,
Frosty,
Relationships,
Honesty,
Games,
China,
Smell,
Serenity,
