Project 365: A Picture a Day

January 2nd, 2009 · 4 Comments

Yes, I’m going to attempt this project again this year.  The idea is that I take a picture every day for a year.  Why do this?  I have two reasons.  The main reason is to become a better photographer.  How do you get better at something?  Practice.  By forcing myself to use my camera every day, hopefully I will get better at understanding what the camera is capable of and how it works in order to produce the best possible image.  (My first priority is to learn how to use Aperture priority mode.)

The second reason is simply to document a year in my life.  Now, don’t expect to see pictures of my kids every day.  Sure, they’ll be there.  But I’m going to be taking pictures of different things and experimenting a little bit.  So some of you will like the picture that day, and some won’t.  That’s art.  Everyone’s a critic.  But, I’m doing this for me, so I’m the only one who has to be satisfied with the picture.

I’ll be posting the pictures here, as well as on my Flickr account.  I probably won’t post a picture every day; rather, I’ll probably post the photos once a week, so be patient.  I hope you will enjoy going through the year with me through the lens.

    Awesome idea. You’ll be surprised how quickly you start creating new and different things. That’s a huge commitment…..stay with it!

    Thanks. It’ll be nice if someone else does the project too, so I can see what he is doing and learn/compare notes with him. 🙂

    Though I LOVE the idea of doing this, the reality is that I am way too swamped with work requirements to be successful. I am considering doing a “Project 52” which would likely be more attainable for me.

    Awww…I thought you were all set for this. Oh, well…I can understand being swamped at work. At least if you did a project 52, it would be something.
