Welcome!

Photography is a wonderful hobby--one that preserves memories, creates art, opens our eyes to new ways of looking at the world around us, and is incredibly fun! This blog is intended to encourage participants to take more pictures, and to improve the ones we take. We will have weekly assignments, typically on some aspect of design. At least once a month artists should include an artist statement with their photo to give us, the audience, insight into your creative process and to help us think more critically about the creative process.

The blog is named after the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association (or mutual, as it was called once upon a time). My hope is we will help mutually improve one another by encouraging participation and improvement; by teaching and sharing; by forming friendships across cyberspace that (we hope!) will continue into the real world.

Welcome!
