I’m a person who likes projects. I usually start the year with a list of projects I hope to complete throughout the year but I don’t complete most of them. This frustrates me.
When I was pregnant, I took a weekly picture of my belly and posted it for friends and family to see. I had just moved from Chicago and everyone enjoyed the weekly photo as a way to keep track of what was going on in the pregnancy. When my son was born, I continued the tradition for well over a year with a weekly photo of him. I love those images.
In 2008, I participated in my first “Photo 365″ project. I took at least 1 image every single day. Some of the results were better than others, but overall I really loved the project. It really forced me to be more aware of my surroundings. It was fun and I learned a lot.
In 2009, I embarked on 1 photo per week. I made it to early October. I missed a week. And another. Then I gave up. Disappointment.
Last year, I wanted to put a new spin on the project and decided to limit myself to my iPhone. 85 days, then… failure again.
So, a new year, another project. Again I’m looking to complete 365 days of iPhone pictures. I am posting 1 per day on Flickr using instagram for iPhone. So far, I’m enjoying it. And I’m hoping that if I force myself to post results here periodically, I’ll guilt myself into completing this project. After 2 years of photo project failure, I must succeed!
I present to you the January contributions to my 2011:365 project.
