Second week of the challenge brings the keyword “Black and White”, I took the picture below earlier for the challenge and when I got home I was inspired to do something simple that reflected todays picture: black on white. I think it came out really good
First week of the 52 week challenge is “Begin at the beginning”, I immediately went back to my little jar of the first flies that I tied two years ago. I remember tying up the red-tag, struggling with getting the body right, and tying off the thread…. So for this weeks keyword I had to do this little peacock/red-tag.
Here together with the first fly I created:
For my photo challenge I had to include the picture of my first sausage made from scratch:
I have earlier tried the 365 days – 365 pictures on my norwegian blog, but that was by myself, this year we are a group at work that are doing 52 weeks – 52 pictures. With my passion for photography and flytying I immediately thought about doing 1 fly for each of the topics in the challenge. But that would be a bit boring for the rest of the group, so: this year I’m doing two challenges, one with normal pictures and one I’m doing here on dryfly.me. The challenge though is a bit interesting: I’m not doing traditional flies or patterns, but rather a freestyle fly that corresponds to the keyword I have for my photo challenge (you will see what I’m talking about once I start putting up the pictures).
As you can see from the list of keywords below, some of them might be a bit tricky, but it is the association between keyword and fly that is crucial. There is no correct fly for these keywords, as long as you can explain what you did and why you did it.
Each week I’ll end up with two photos, but if you want to tag along you can do just one!
