Project 365?

You may notice that many of the posts here have a number next to an image.  You might wonder what that means (I know I would).

Essentially, I am taking part in a grand experiment called Project 365.  The challenge to me is to take at least one picture every day for a year.  And post it.  It doesn’t have to be beautiful, sexy, or interesting.  It doesn’t have to tell a profound impact on the world.  But I have to take one.  Or more.

Why am I doing this?  There are a myriad of reasons that I am trying to see what I can do:

  • As a challenge to myself to stick with something for a full year
  • To learn more about my photography
  • To get better at photography
  • To create a living pictographic journal that I will be able to revisit in years to come
  • For Fun!

I am not doing Project 365 for any other reason than this: I like it.

It is a welcome bonus if others find this site and are able to enjoy the images as well.  Hopefully a few of them will be of interest.

I have not decided what will happen at the end of a year.  I hope to keep going, and with that in mind, here are a few goals for year number two:

  1. Miss no more than ONE day all year
  2. Publish a book of the first year’s worth of images
  3. Print, frame, and hang the first 365 images
  4. Continue to push my boundaries with shots outside of my comfort zone
  5. Upgrade to better equipment

Stick with me and see how I do!
