Project 365 Rebooted
I started the year with good intentions. I joined Project 365 with the idea that it would be a good way for me to break out of my very severe photography slump. It may be hard to tell, but just before we moved, I almost completely stopped taking photos. Sure, I manage to conjure up one to post each day, but the quality of what I'm posting has gone way down. I'm just not taking my camera out nearly as often as should be, not as often as I want to be.
The blame is my own, but if I'm looking for excuses, I'm going to draw a big circle around the house. Between last summer's packing and unpacking, painting and cleaning, tiling and digging, my hands have been pretty full. Too full for a camera. There is also the fact that my daily commute more than tripled when we moved. Instead of having an hour to play with before Mr. Husband reached home, I now rush to get there, with no time to stop for a leisurely walk in the park with my favorite short person.
I need to get back on track. I want to get back on track.
To whit, I'm taking Casey's challenge. I will take 365 photos I love this year. I WILL. I'm at about 30 right now, so I have some catching up to do.
Yell at me if I start to slack again, please and thank you.
My absolute favorite photo so far this year. I kind of have to post it again since I don't have anything new. :-(

You need a second, smaller camera that fits in the pocket. Much better for spontaneous occasions (as well as ninja-style photo grabbing)
Wow - this is quite the challenge. I'm going to have to put that on the list for 2011
Good luck. But I can't reboot you since I ditched the commitment long ago.
Big challenge. You've totally got it. I've recently started making the time for the things I WANT to do, rather than what I HAVE to do. It was tough at first, but now....not so much.
I love every single photo you take. You and Cass have fantastic talent with the camera. I'm still trying to convince my husband that a big girl camera is in order. Pronto.
I know what you mean. I take a lot less photos than I used to. I think it has to do with being busier, yes... but, also how hard it is to get my kid to stand still long enough to take a good picture. I am usually sweaty and exhausted if I manage to score a really great one.
That IS a great one of Alexis!
You are so, SO far ahead of me with that project. And you have so many pictures that are worthy of being posted far more often than just twice. Relax. The point of the project is to have pics you love, not to beat yourself up. Have fun with it! I'm pretty sure that's what Alexis would tell you to do. :-)
I love this idea-Casey is a genius!
Thanks for bringing it to my attention-THIS 365 Challenge-I can do!
I'm spot on *KNOCK ON WOOD* right now. I also like the 365 pictures you like challenge though. Very cool. You can do this. You're amazing!
