project 365 rules

I’ve been thinking a lot about my 365 project that I’ll be starting on January 1st. The goal is to take at least one picture every day. I wanted to write out some guidelines for myself in preparation. Some are standard rules (like rule #1) but some are my own.

1. Obviously each picture has to be taken on separate days. No cheating by taken a bunch on one day and then spreading them out. Defeats the purpose.
2. Try to avoid using my cell phone camera as much as possible.
3. Do something to set each picture apart so when the year is over they can stand together as a collection. (Still working on how I’ll achieve that.)
4. Someone else can’t take the picture. Meaning, Josh can’t take a picture of me. Doesn’t count. If there is a picture of me, it will be a self portrait.
5. Avoid waiting until the last minute this way I can avoid just taking a picture of a random object.
6. Get out there and shoot, especially places I don’t normally take pictures.
7. Try and take my camera everywhere.

If I’m doing this, I’m doing it right. Anyone want to join in? Should be fun!
