Focus on Life 2014: Minimalism

Week One: One subject photo

As much as I enjoyed last year's photo challenge, Focus on Life, organized by Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime, I think this year's project will be more challenging and more fun. This year, each month will have a theme - this month's theme is Minimalism, an art and photography concept that concentrates on the "bare minimum." 

This week, we were to choose one subject for our photo.
