Week 26
Halfway
Find your proudest photo of the year and the one that still isn't quite right. What worked, what didn't?
Week 27
Revisit the goal
Go back to the goal you set in January. Has it held up, or has it quietly turned into something else?
Week 28
Steal from yourself
Pick a submission from earlier this year and reimagine it. Same spark, completely different execution.
Week 29
Borrow from the group
Find a photo from someone else in the challenge that stuck with you and use it as a jumping off point.
