Project 365: Day one photos

TheBackpackr — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 03:00:35 +0000

It’s encouraging to see so many people contributing towards #Project365, which is all about sharing a photo a day from your surroundings with the world (find out more about it here). Within a day, there were quite a few people who posted up their photos, and these are some of those that I managed to catch from the Twitter stream – I’m sure I missed quite a few, but it’s alright…

Before I show all the photos I dug up, here’s mine (@TheBackpackr). My caption was, “1/1/2010: Grace and I started off the new year at our church, DUMC together with some 3,000 others. We gave thanks for the year gone by, our friends and family.”. The rest of my photos will be up on Facebook here.

And from Grace Tan my wife, also known these days as @ShootDiva. Her photos will be on Facebook here.

So, let’s cut to the chase… here’s what I found.

Thanks for participating: @BridalGlam, @annarina, @avrilchan, @qwertyjuan, @dannyfoo, @joycescapade, @yongschew, @andychin, @sochews, @sivinkit.

I do recommend using a dedicated site like a Facebook or Flickr album, Posterous, but not a blog as it becomes tedious to update and it will take precedence over your existing content. Also, Twitpic and Tweetphoto won’t really categorise your images, but sure, go ahead and use it if you really want.

I’ve listed #Project365 sites of people who have told me about their projects. Find them here.

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.
