Personal projects are an important part of developing artists, and more so a way to stay active in your skill set. Choosing a small, bit-size project that can be completed, in a short period of time, will help energize your passion and creativity can be the key to boosting the mental awareness of the world around you.

I’m currently working on such a project – YUKON 73099 in black&white – that will result in a 6 x 6 magazine-style booklet. I’m almost done with capturing iconic and lesser known features of my home town of Yukon, Oklahoma.

I wanted to share a few of the images from the project below. If you live in the area, please share your favorite places so I can include them on my list. Follow us here and my art website (DixiePhotoArt) for updates.
