I didn't realize
...how much I would enjoy viewing the other participants photos.
...how much I would learn about myself.
...how hard it would be to pick JUST ONE photo on most days.
...that it would effectively become a photo journal of my year.
...how much I would miss it when it ended.
This year I'm going into it knowing that it doesn't matter so much what others think of my shots, I care a whole lot more about how they will make me feel when I look back on them. I already regret the choice that I made one of the days last week. I'm going to try hard to avoid that.
With that, I will share my first weeks' photos. Follow me on Flickr if you want to see more. Ping me if this is something you are interested in joining (it's not too late!).

Great photos! I have toyed with the idea of doing this but I'm hesitant to just add another thing.
ReplyDeleteIf you change your mind, let me know!
DeleteVery cool! i like the idea of having a photo journal of the year.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't even hit me when I started last time that a photo journal would be the result.
DeleteI love the stare down shot!!
ReplyDeleteI think Stymie won that time. Animals are so amusing!
Deletethat's such a good idea! ...thinking....
ReplyDeleteyou know how to find me if you want details on joining!
DeleteLove that sunrise!
ReplyDeleteWe only get color when there are some clouds. I always enjoy the pretty skies when it happens.
DeleteThey're great! I've been using a phone app to collect a photo every day and I've found it a very interesting exercise. I've tried to focus on things that I'm grateful for and it's surprising how many times my dog is featured. Or maybe it's not surprising considering that I'm the doggy equivalent of a crazy cat lady.
ReplyDeleteI photograph my pets a lot too. :-)
DeleteI'm really grateful to you for introducing me to the idea and then the Flickr group! There are so many great pictures being uploaded I'm missing lots, so I appreciate your recap here. I'm trying to focus mostly on what will matter to me rather than what other people might think is "good", but it's great getting hints from seeing other people's shots that make good use of lighting / technique.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying it! There are a lot more people this time, I can't keep up with all the photos.
DeleteGreat photos!! I Love the idea of taking a picture every day, but isn't it difficult to find a picture?
ReplyDeleteOnce I get in the habit of the 365, I end up bringing my camera almost everywhere. It actually is harder most days to choose one and only one photo to select for that day.
