All About Taelin A-Z Photographs

Number 95 on my list is to take 26 pictures, one for each letter of the alphabet, all related to the same theme.  When I first made my list, I put this on my list in an effort to become a better photographer.  I am not trying to become a professional, but I would like to understand my camera better and to be better at taking pictures.  I really didn't know what my theme was going to be and hadn't really considered it since putting it on my list. But after reading Taelin's May daycare newsletter (yes, a newsletter for my 2 year old) a plan formed.  

One of the things Taelin's teacher always includes is an at-home assignment for the month. The assignment is to write a story about Taelin, listing her likes and dislikes and bringing to share with the rest of the class. Now, even though she is only two, I take the fact that she has an assignment seriously.  Maybe it is because I am a teacher, maybe it is because of the kind of student I am, maybe it is because I needed an excuse...maybe it is all three...but regardless of the reason, Taelin instantly become the "theme" of my A-Z photography.

I mean really, an alphabet book for Taelin all about Taelin that I get to do using my camera (which I want to learn more about) and my scrapbooking stash.  It is totally a win-win for me.  So...here is the A-Z list that I need to start work on taking pictures of (yes, I got to make ANOTHER list).
