OK, so some of you know that I started a
project 365 on Flickr... I wanted to try to take a picture everyday from my 39th birthday to my 40th (augh!). And I was having fun with it for a while...
And then life got in the way, and I figured that I should probably concentrate all of my efforts into that whole weird "getting a job" thing. Which I've since done.
But I'm having a hard time getting back into it. I'll definitely restart my
Domo 365 sometime soon, but I don't know if I'll continue with my own pictures. I dunno; I guess I'm just not imaginative enough to come up with something even remotely interesting every single day. And I know that's not really the point (that being, to chronicle a year in your life, day by day, regardless of entertainment value), but hey, if I'm gonna put myself out there, of course I want to be entertaining.
But, I guess I'll start again. And soon. Because recently, I seem to be missing a lot of shots that I would have loved to have. See, I used to carry my camera around everywhere. I always had that puppy on me. Since I've stopped with the pictures, I don't carry my camera around as much anymore. So, I missed getting a shot of my odometer reaching 200k miles. And just last night, I missed getting shots of the lunar eclipse. I need to stop missing little things like that.
Plus, I think Domo misses the spotlight. He's such a ham.

Dude, you have a camera phone now, so you should totally be able to catch shots of things like odometer at 200k miles. Although, I imagine it would take pretty disappointing sky shots.
Anyway, if you don't have the camera with you, camera phone is better than nothing, right??

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to read that you're going to restart the Domo 365! I loved them all.
And, look. I know it's hard to do a 365 days project of yourself. It's waaaay hard. And it's hard to try to be creative day after day after day. But, like you said, you don't have to be creative. You just have to have a reason for doing it. We all do them for different reasons. So, just look at your reasoning for thinking about embarking on it and then keep that in mind instead of trying to be creative, ya know?
But def. always always have your camera on you. You just never know what you may see!

That is such a cute idea. Do I have permission to do a project 365 myself? I would take a picture of myself each day and se how I change daily!

I used to take pictures everyday, but like you, life got in the way. Now, I try to do it. But sometimes there just isn't much inspiration.
