Beginning a Project 365 – Photostory Friday & Give Me Your Best Shot

by 18 Comments

It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365.

I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months.

But that was before smart phones.

My blogging friend Julie actually just wrote a post about How To Organize Project 365 and Stay Sane and I was inspired enough to commit that day.

The first time I started a Project 365, my goal was to improve my photography (a worthy goal) but I got burnt out quickly trying to find new things to photograph. See, when I pull out my big camera, I feel like the subject needs to be worthy. The problem is, the sheer size of my camera and the fact that I don’t have it with me all the time (shocking, I know) meant that I missed plenty of memorable, photo-worthy moments.

So, it is with renewed excitement, energy, and dedication that I start my Project 365, version 2012. These pictures may not be my most artistically beautiful shots, but they show life as it really is – in my home and in my town.

I’m actually looking forward to capturing LIFE each day for a year.

Here’s what the first 5 days looked like:

Project 365 Week1

PS – my plan is to showcase my pictures from the week each Saturday in a single post. Today was special ‘cuz I’m just getting started.

Have you done a Project 365? Do you have any tips for me?

  4. Good luck with your 365 project. My husband did that in 2010 and had a lot of fun. Some days the picture was taken at 11:55 p.m. And yes, you will take way more pictures with your smart phone. I’ve not picked up my digital camera now that I have a smart phone.

  6. That’s it! I’m gonna do it!! haha… I’ve been reading about project 365’s all week… My leg has been pulled, my arm has been twisted. I’ll do it. Starting tomorrow. hahaha. :)
