The site I mentioned a few days ago, Faded & Blurred, is hosting a 365 photo project. What is that you ask? It is when you take one photo a day, everyday, for a year and share it with the group participating in the project.
I signed up for this as a challenge to myself. I shoot as often as I can, but the daily obligations of life often prevent me from picking up my camera for days at a time. There are also days when I have no motivation or inspiration to photograph (although they are rare). So to be “obligated” to produce one photograph a day for an entire year I will be forcing the photography I love to become a part of my daily routine.
I image one of the hardest parts at the beginning of this project will be to remember to do it everyday – until it becomes routine. After that is will be finding daily inspiration in something and making the time to do it. But I am excited by the possibilities and the challenge.
If it is something you are interested in doing you can join the Faded & Blurred community here and check out the Flickr group where the daily photos from participating members will be posted.

I plan on doing the project! I hope that I can remember to take the pictures though

I agree, the hardest part might be to remember to actually take the picture each day and get it posted. But should be a fun challenge.

Gawd…I can barely remember to do 12 on 12, much less taking a photo every day.

Yes, I remembered to take one today. So 1 down 364 to go…we will see if I succeed at this. :)
