Project 365

[barrie]

Is anyone on here participating in Project 365? I tried to do a search to see if there were any threads on it, but the search doesn't work so good.

Anyway, some friends on another board are having a go at it. Some of us are doing every day (like me) and some are doing every week (project 52).

If anyone here is doing it - or would like to - I'm really interested to see your photos. I am posting mine on a blog and am linking to other people's galleries. I'd love it if there were more people doing it to give support to each other.

I've really been having fun with it. It's forcing me to practice photography everyday. Without this committment I wouldn't be shooting this much.

Not everyone doing it has the same goals. For me it is a way to practice being a photographer and hopefully get better. For some people it is a snapshot of their life on that day. For others, it's a look at the world around them. The cool thing is that the project can be really personalized. Everyone can make whatever they want out of it.

I am finding that because I am making them public on a blog, I am working harder at trying to take photos that I am proud of. That's not to say that I think every day's photo is good, but I am being more deliberate about trying to make them good.

Anyway, I'm hoping to encourage more people to join in. It would be great to have more inspiration and feedback from others. One photo every day feels like too much for some people, but one photo per week is really doable. Anyone want to join in?

I am trying to take at least one photo a day. I started on Wed of this week. A couple of my friends have been updating their blogs daily, and I was very slack about mine. So I decided I would try and update my blog, and take a picture and post it every day. I hope it lasts. Their are quite a few "365" groups on flickr too.

Furgus - I added you to my blogroll and will keep checking in. I like that book photo. I hope you keep up with the daily posts, I'd like to see more.

what a great idea. I have never heard of this. Hmm - maybe something I just might do as well. I really need to pick my camera up again - it has been a few weeks.

This sounds like a real cool idea. I don' tknow if I have the creativity at this time to accomplish it, but maybe I'll try. Who knows, maybe it will get me going again with my photography. And, this year it is project 366! One more day of shooting pics!

I'm doing 52. It'll be fun to look back to see if I've improved. Gee, I hope so. There is no way I could stick with 365 as well as family and work obligations. Eventually I might post them. Nothing worthy of posting so far.

I wanted to thank you very much for posting this!! I have needed a good kick in the pants to shoot more often. I hope this will help. I just started mine today. You can see my blog here.

Thank you, again!

Yes, I am - as well as a good number of our close family. It started with my aunt-in-law, then my mother-in-law, and now my uncle-in-law, grandfather-in-law, my wife, and myself are all doing one - though not all are a daily blog. Mine didn't start out daily but has become one over the last few months - just passed my 100th post a week or two ago.

Most of us also participate in Sky Watch Fridays (post a sky photo each Friday) and I also do ABC Wednesdays (every Wednesday advances one letter of the alphabet and you post a photo of something that could start with that week's letter - this week is a new start actually, so the letter will be 'A' and you could post an Apple or Albatros, etc.)

mvazul and Golf4food - I added both your blogs to my links page. I've really been having fun working on this project. It's hard sometimes to find motivation. For example, yesterday's photo is only so-so. But doing the blog is helping to keep me on track - that, and watching other people's progress as well.

Ok, call me an old man but although I understand blogging, just how the heck is it done? Who hosts these "blogs"?

 

[DVC Jen]

Ok ya'll inspired me and LizzieJane talked me into joining a daily photo community over on smugmug.

Anyone interested in maybe doing a photo of the week or Project 52 here? Might be easier than a project 365 thing.

Try looking here. This is just one of the many blogging sites you can register for. Microsoft's is called My Space and blogging is part of the services of an account. Google blog sites or blogging. Here's everything you'll ever want to know about blogging.

Andrew - I blog on wordpress. It couldn't be easier. They give you 3GB of free space. Since I host my photos on flickr, I can't imagine ever needing that much space. There are templates that you can use that make setting it up a breeze. Here's a link to the signup page - give it a try, you'll see how simple it is.

Thanks. I started a blog with wordpress, just to see how it will work out. Who knows, maybe I will become some famous blogger? This new fangled stuff makes me feel much older than I really am!

I'll let you know when I get it all going, what the blog is so that we can all link up with each others.

Thanks again for the blog info. Thanks to you too Duey!

I have a 52 weeker going. Barrie was already nice enough to add me to her blog links (thanks, Barrie!).
