I have goals. Lots of goals.
One of my goals is to continue to learn and grow as a photographer. I’m so inspired by other’s creativity and risk-taking in photography that I decided to really commit myself to a project that would force me to open my eyes to the photographic possibilities around me. I’m currently 17 days into taking 365 photos, one each day for the year 2010.
It’s hard. It’s hard to always be in the mood to take a picture, to be creative, to relax enough to truly capture a moment. I feel like if I don’t do this, though, I’m never going to be the photographer that I want to be.
On Sundays, I’m going to try and post my favorite capture from the previous week. (Try. Sundays are busy.) Since I didn’t start until this week, I’m posting my favorite from the first and second weeks of the project.
week 1. the injustice
week 2. bath
You can see my entire set of photos for my project 365 {2010} on Flickr.
Aww, I want to know the back story about the Injustice!
Well, I am incredibly mean. I wouldn’t let him play Mario Kart. I know! I should have child services called!
I love your photos!

awesome pictures! i’m doing this project, too. its a challange for sure, but i know i’m going to love looking back at them
Do you have your pictures on Flickr for your project? If so, I’d love to see them! I’m constantly searching other’s photostreams for ideas and inspiration.
This sounds like a not only a good way to grow as a photographer but to also document in year in your life in a very in-depth way. I love the shots, thanks for sharing.

I’ve gone crazy with posting, I know! Might as well until the well dries up.
every year I say I am gonna do that and then I forget. I just got a dslr a few months ago. I have been reading up on http://www.momtog.com to learn how to use it. Look forward to seeing more pictures from you throughout the year.

You can start anytime! It doesn’t have to be January to start!
I love that doorknob shot. I’m doing I Should Be Folding Laundry’s You Capture — photography is certainly a weakness for me. I blame it on a crummy camera, but really, it’s my crummy eye that’s the problem. I’m hoping practice will make closer-to-perfect.

I totally want to know what the face was for in the first pic!
.-= Marylin´s last blog ..Oooh lookie… she wants comments! =-.
Poor little fella wasn’t allowed to play Mario Kart. Therefore, I was the devil.
Ohh I get that one lots too – it usually results in the slamming of doors and my 4yr old ‘angel’ turning into an emo teenager!
If this is what they’re like now then I’m not looking forward to 10 years down the line! LOL
.-= Marylin´s last blog ..Oooh lookie… she wants comments! =-.
Enjoy it! It’s a lot of fun. There are days I’ve missed a day here and there for one reason or another, but I’ve enjoyed it and do my best to get right back on the wagon. I should have started in at the beginning of the year, but instead started in March of last year, so I’ll be done in March and will try to decide if I want to restart or wait until next year…not sure. *sigh* I don’t make decisions well.

Oh his little face! I’m indignant on his behalf.
You took your camera in the tub with you? You are braver than me – I’d drop the damn thing for sure.
.-= amy2boys´s last blog ..Weekly Winners – Three =-.
I was fully concentrating on holding my camera, took about 4 pictures then put it far, far, far away from the tub! I’m such a klutz, I’m lucky I didn’t drop it.
You are soooo talented. I got my new “big girl” camera after Blogher but haven’t had a chance to take a class on how to use it…..

Great idea! Sounds like a great project. I will have to try that next year. This year is 365 blog entries.

Lovely!

I started Project 365 this year as well, and it’s my first time doing it. It’s hard for me because I LOVE taking pictures of people, and it’s forcing me to get outside that and try my hand at other subjects.
I like your bathtub shot. Very creative.
