Project 365: A photo a day for 2010

Well, well, ladies and gentlemen… we are at the advent of yet another year. ’tis the time to make new resolutions and decide how we’re going to change for the better.
As I was perusing the Twittersphere (as I seemingly always do), I spotted a tweet by @GodsMac that talked about the idea of showcasing a photo a day of the life around you. He calls it Project 365. I thought, that’s pretty easy to do… and these days, with all the technology freely available, we can SURELY achieve that easily, right? (and yes, I may be dead wrong!).

Anyhow, I think I’ll give it a shot and use whatever means I have to share a photo a day with the world. I’m not going to go down the path of using a DSLR, but rather whatever implements I have (which probably spells out i-P-h-o-n-e). After all, setting the bar overly high will make it counterproductive, in my experience thus far.
I think I’ll stick with using Facebook to publish my photos, and once a month, I’ll create a montage of photos and post them here. This beats writing a diary (or even blogging, for that matter!).
Will you join me on this endeavour? So far, I’ve had some response from the Twittersphere on who will embark on this too.

Share your pictures with me (send me your URL whether Facebook / Flickr / etc), and I’ll be happy to highlight them here on a monthly basis too.
Here’s a few links to the homes of several Project 365ers. Leave a comment here if you’d like me to add your link here.

I was thinking more on posting a photo of EITHER I edited OR shot from each day. Does that count?
All the best with the project bro! Better take at least 1 picture of me
MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Cool… ok I’m in
sounds fun!! i wanna join! post in our own facebook?
Yes, I think you can post your photos in your own Facebook account. Send me the link to the album, I’ll add it here.
Am looking forward to 2010 now!
I’m going to start this come January 1st.
Hope that you can keep it up. A lot did it as well early this year and in the end, none of them lasted the whole 365. If you do, kudos and good luck bro haha
COol bananas! I osso joiiiinnn ;p Happy New Year to you & Grace! See you two next year

great idea, i join !! RT @TheBackpackr: Mentioned in a blog post on Project 365: photo a day [link to post]

sounds like a cool idea, but I dont know whether I’ll be able to maintain it.. (which means remember).. perhaps I’ll give it a shot.. hmmm
cool idea! Picture speaks a thousand words
I don’t know if I can maintain it. But I’ll try. I don’t think we MUST start on January 1st, but just start whenever you feel like it. If you missed the 1st of Jan marker, don’t worry – just do it, if you think it’s a good idea.
And to answer Asther, they could certainly be pictures taken before that date and touched up which you share with the world.
sounds fun… i’ll try to do it too

I’m in! I was already planning on doing the project before I heard about Project 365! Seems very cool to look back and see a day in your life!

I’ve been doing something similar for a couple of months but showcasing photos shot by wedding industry colleagues … takes quite a bit of discipline so as not to forget the daily posts! Good luck and have fun!

Such a cool idea! I’m game!
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=136966&id=661118505
Neat idea, Alex. I did something similar when I was in Melbourne.. photographing the sunset outside my window every day (except if I missed it to due classes or work). See here: http://secretwindowproject.blogspot.com
sound very exciting. this is me joining you. but instead of photos, i will be doing a collage, not necessary photos of my own but little things i do everyday. just for fun.
http://chaiyen.blogspot.com/2010/01/day1.html
chaiyen, a collage is fine. The project is really an expression of you. Rather like a microblog, but through your eyes. All the best with the project: though it looks like a lot more work to me!
wen, it’s not an original idea of mine, but merely promoting it to all to try. Your secretwindowproject is surely interesting too. It’s like a timelapse of sorts. Thanks for sharing with me.
Thanks for the great posting – and happy new year to you all
