A photographer friend of mine contacted me about doing a 365 project in 2012. My initial thought was “Heck no”. I first did a 365 project in 2007 where I took a picture every single day. I missed one day. I signed up again in 2010. I made it until May when hell broke loose in my life. The last thing I wanted to do was worry about a daily picture. So when I was asked I initially thought about that time in my life and didn’t want to do it. After thinking about it some more I started to lean towards yes.
This fall was pretty busy for my business. This is an awesome thing for me. However, the more work I get, the more I worry I’ll turn into one of those robot photographers that just shoot the same thing over and over. Enter Project 365… Taking a picture every day forces you to practice and practice is never a bad thing. I hesitated signing up because I didn’t want to do it halfway. I don’t want to just take a picture of my back door or some random object that’s next to me every day. I want to be creative and really take the time to do it right. It’s a good thing though, feeling forced to take a picture. Having to find something creative, especially in the Winter months, isn’t always easy. I’ve got some ideas on making this 365 a little different so I’m mulling over exactly how to execute it.
So yeah, I just got all excited. Get ready folks. More pictures, means more blogging. I hate posting without a picture so there ya go. This is good for you too. (And to clarify my post from yesterday…I am definitely not letting one not-so-nice person run me off.)
