Totally understand where you're comin' from Chrissy!  Been there... believe me.   It takes alot to put yourself  "out there" at times....even when you REALLY want to.  One thing I've learned, is that you need to leave your personal "comfort zone"  to truly learn and grow.   Again, we'll all be on the same "playing field" so to speak here and  the whole idea behind this "exercise" is to get back to the ROOTs of photography, work within certain limits and see what YOU can come up with. 

I might suggest instead of just one STICKY thread, that we  post a NEW thread for  each member participating.  Tthis way, no one gets lost in a huge thread and eachs persons images remain the FOCUS of THAT discussion.
