This is something we like to call…

The 52Frames Manifesto

(Click each card below to accept)

I understand that my only commitment is to submit one photo per week.

Click to accept Nice and easy!
I promise that every photo I submit will be my own and it will be taken the week of the challenge.

Click to accept Let’s keep it fun & fair!
I promise that no matter how crazy life gets, I will do my best to have 52Frames be a constant in my life.

Click to accept There’s no try, only do!
I understand that submitting consistently every week is more important than every photo being a masterpiece.

Click to accept Perfection’s overrated anyways!
I will allow myself to be vulnerable in my creative process. I will treat 52Frames as a safe space to learn and grow.

Click to accept No Judgment Zone. Got it!
