Photo 365: A New Year's resolution for every photographer
I recently ran across a concept called "Photo 365". The idea is simple:
take a photo every day for a year. Subject matter is irrelevant. It doesn't have to be stunning artwork for the ages. You just need to have your camera in your hands every day for a year. I've talked a friend into the project: we're starting on Jan 1 2007, and we'll be keeping each other honest by posting our pictures in a photo blog. I'd suggest that anyone interested in practicing their photography should consider this - it could be interesting. - Darryl |

This idea seems to have been adopted by PBase known as "Photo a Day Galleries". http://www.pbase.com/pad I have not yet started one, but I like the idea. Cheers - Adrian www.boliston.co.uk |

Photo 365: A New Year's resolution for every photographer
"Surfer!" wrote in message ... In message .com, writes Yes, a great idea - it would make someone like me who almost always takes outdoor shots do something different on days like yesterday which were thick fog (100m visibility) rather than just not take anything. -- Surfer! On days like those, think greeting cards, recipe books, advertising. Amazing what one can do with the things stashed on shelves or away in closets and storage. Got little ones of your own or grand kids etc for the day? Drag out an old trunk of clothes etc and let 'em play dress up whilst you snap away. Tons of new memories there to be had! Damn that last one was a flash of inspiration with which I must follow through. |

While I don't disagree with the overwhelming flood of bad photos, at least most, these days at least, can be deleted! WRT the subject, I have found a project like this can improve my photography by forcing me to think creatively at a time when I think there is nothing worth photographing. It's a mental exercise. I've taken part in a few photo "assignment" exercises before and putting yourself on the spot does sharpen up the grey cells and, I believe, make me a better photographer. I'd advocate trying it but only if it interests you. Your point about doing it when you feel like it is valid. My take on that is this: if photography is your work, you can't only do it when you feel like it, you have to be able to do even if you don't feel like it and any practice that makes you better at it when you don't want to be doing it isn't going to do your ability any harm for when you *do* want to go out and take photos. I'm sure that point could be made better but 15 year old Laphroaig has those same little grey cells toasted just now -- Justin C, by the sea. |
