Project 365: 2010

Project 365 is a great Idea I read over at Photojojo.com which I plan to start on January 1st, 2010.

What is Project 365? It's a photo journal of your life using one picture a day for the entire year. I'll probably be keeping a public and a private Project 365, the private being pictures of my daughter Madison. I think it would be great to be able to look back at the end of the year and see the different events you experienced.

I'm thinking of using Flickr to catalog the photos and descriptions and have Flickr post to this blog.

Excerpt from Photojojo article:

WHY DO IT?

Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider doing it:

• Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)
• Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.
• Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.

EXAMPLES

• The Project 365 2004 Recap — Read Taylor’s thoughts on the project after the year was over and see some of the highlights.
• Project 365, 2006 (in progress) — Watch a slideshow of Taylor’s second go-around with Project 365.
• Noah Brier’s One a Day — In a more self-reflective variation, our pal Noah takes a photo a day using the webcam built into his MacBook.
