{365}

Saturday, August 28, 2010


So I might be a little crazy for this but I am finally committing to doing a 365.
As in one photograph a day for 365 days.
One whole year.



So, it's official... I have already started this journey.
I have thought about doing this for about a year now and all I needed was a little, tiny nudge.
And really,  I almost take at least one photograph a day already anyway.
Almost.
But not quite and that's the part that counts.

I am excited about this for  a few reasons...
* I think the timing is perfect. I just had my birthday last week so it seems like a
 great time to start. I can look back at this whole year in pictures on my birthday next year.

* I have a friend that I know will inspire and encourage me to keep going.

*I need this to push me into really, truly learning how to use my camera.

* I just realized  the other day that this time last year I started this little blog of mine.
When I look at my photos from one year ago I feel like I have grown and improved quite a bit.
I can't wait to see what this year brings as far as improving my skills even more
and learning more about photography, my camera...and myself.
So, wish me luck!


This morning I am sitting here drinking super-hot coffee and eating toast with apple butter.
Yum.
I am so happy the weekend is here!
Although there are many, many things we should be doing around here this weekend,
 instead we are headed down to the Cabin for the night.
I really need to get packing.
It's been a while since we have been down there so
we are all excited and the weather is cooperating,
it should be perfect sleeping weather.

*        *        *
The first full week of Kindergarten was a success.
When asked how the first week went Wyatt says; "great" or "fantastic".
I must say, I am so relieved to have that week behind me.
Much more on that later though  along with pictures of my little big guy.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I'm looking forward to fresh air, walks in the woods and being unplugged.
How about you?

  7. Good for you!

    I'm part of a 365. I love it. I know I'll appreciate the little snippets of mundane at the end of the year.

  12. I think those are four very good reasons for doing the photo challenge although I for one think you are already an amazing photographer. I look forward to seeing a photo every day. That is wonderful that Kingergarten was such a success for your little man. A weekend at a cabin in the woods sounds just wonderful. I love the balloon photo.

  14. Can't wait to see what you post each day! I started my photo blog with the intention of taking and posting a photo a day, but I fell short. Maybe I'll try it again sometime in the future!

  15. It is great to know some of you are (or might!) joining in on this journey....BUT, I won't be posting a picture a day, I think i will probably post more photos but I can't commit to every day. You can always see more photos on my Flickr though! : )
    Thanks for the encouragement!

  17. Good for you! I tried to do it starting on Jan 1, but I couldn't keep up. I checked out your friend's blog, thinking I might restart, but she's hard core and doesn't want anyone who can't keep up.

    Enjoy your journey! You're already a fabulous photographer. :)
