Project 366
01-03-2012
I have tried a few times now to complete a Project 365 – to take a photo every day for a year. Even though I take a lot of pictures, I have never specifically completed one of these projects.
I decided to try again starting on January 1st. Sure, it doesn’t really matter what day the project is started on as long as it is done for an entire year. For example, one year I started the project on my birthday in May. I got up to 200-something that year but I have never actually completed a project without missing a day. If I miss a day then it’s all over. I view that as the project being failed. I always found it easier to start on January 1st. That’s when most people decide to try the project and so it’s encouraging to have other people to do it with and you can remind each other about taking pictures.
So here we go again except this time it’s a bit more epic – It’s a leap year so it’s a Project 366.
I will be doing the project on my Flickr account but I’ll randomly let you know how it’s coming along. You can view the set here. Feel free to add me on Flickr, too.
Here are my first 3 photos.
Maybe I’ll actually learn something new about photography this year. That should be my resolution… even though I technically don’t make resolutions.
Is anyone else doing a Project 366?
15 CommentsNew Years Eve 2011
01-01-2012
Josh and I were planning to have a boring, quiet evening in for New Years. I had to work from 6-4 on New Years Eve and figured that I wouldn’t be up to much (and to be quite frank we still don’t really know many people around here so we didn’t really have anywhere to go).
So we thought.
I got home from work and Josh told me that he got a text earlier that day from Matt who he worked with on the orchards for a while inviting us to a BBQ and asked me if I was up to going. Of course I was! I was so happy to be able to actually have something to do on New Years even though a quiet night in would have been lovely, as well. Josh and I each made a token dish – I made a cous cous salad and Josh made his epic tossed salad and we bought some beers and ice cream and we were on our way!
When we pulled up, the first thing I saw was this tiny kitten! I knew that the night was going to be epic when I saw her.
She was the cutest, most playful little kitten that I have seen in a long time and she reminded me of Moko, my cat back in New York, so much. She filled my kitty void that I didn’t even know was so deep and hurting!
She had so much life in her and was such a friendly little cat. She went from climbing a cactus to jumping up in your lap and going to sleep. I was dying of the cuteness ALL NIGHT LONG.
Here is an example!
