Testing: a blue pre-project photo



Walking out of the market, with birds taking flight above us, I snapped a shot....accidentally leaving the white balance on tungsten lighting. (Oops)

Project 365

The premise of Project 365 is to take one photo a day for one year. My aim is to do it for the year 2010, from Jan.1 to Dec 31.  When I first heard about it, I thought, "One photo a day? 365 photos in a year? Pssh it'll be easy peasy." I like taking photos and I thought this would just be a great way to document my year.

But then the more I thought about it, the more I realized how difficult it would be. It is one photo every single day for a year. I started thinking - what about those days when I am working closing shift, when all I do is sleep in, eat lunch, go to work, come home, then go back to sleep? What will I take photos of on those days? What about those days when it is rainy, when it's gloomy outside, and nothing is looking photogenic?

It's going to be a challenge.  Hopefully this will make me a better photographer. At the very least, it will help me look back on 2010 and see, day-by-day, the little things that shaped my year. Wish me luck!
