Last year I set myself the goal to take a single photograph each day, what is commonly referred to as ’365′ on those social media channels.
I’m pleased to say that this simple task of remembering to do one thing each day for the entire year was achieved. It was rewarding within itself just to be able to look back at the end of 2009 and see within a blink of an eye moments of my life from the past 12 months. The good, the bad, the sick, the healthy, the concerts, the friends, the new job, the old job, the days in, the nights out, Perth, Melbourne … everything summed up in 365 images.
I now couldn’t imagine not doing this project, it has become a part of my daily routine – always looking for that ‘photo of the day’. So I’ve started it all up again for 2010, but going to try and make it a little more interesting for myself and for people following the progress. One goal is to try and make some of the images a little more interesting than just me sitting on the couch or in the office, it will be a good creative outlet and show more elements that are part of my life. Another objective I have is to include a small description of the days events, just a footnote to look back on without a need for a lengthy journal type update.
That is it really. Expect some fun. Expect many filters and photoshopping for colour correcting too. Feel free to follow this pictorial journal, here is image 001 for 2010:
