Day 2, so far so good. Maybe remembering to take pictures everyday won’t be so difficult after all. I love camera iPhone apps they make my pictures look all artistic and vintage. 2 days down, 363 more to go.
Spent a large portion of my day cleaning and setting up my studio. I’m so excited to use it. Who wants to model for me? It’s not completely perfect yet but it will be soon. I can’t wait to start using it.
After finishing the studio I had a birthday celebration at Roy’s. Played some cosmic miniature golf and finished the night watching the Hangover. All in all, a pretty perfect day.
I made it another year. I hate getting older but for some reasons birthdays never go away, trust me I tried with this one. I wish I was Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles and everyone would forget my birthday just so I could skip getting older for a year.
So for this year I decided to start something new, I’m going to start Project 365. What is the Project 365 you ask? Well basically you take a picture ever day for a year. Why would someone want to participate in this madness?
Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)
Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.
Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.
Am I going to forget? Yes, probably but hopefully I’ll continue through the next year. I’ve got a lot of photo albums and scrapbooks to fill up! I might even take more than one picture a day like today.
Now I just need to set up my studio. I have everything I need, lighting, a backdrop, a decent camera. New project for the week! Who wants to paint?
Friday is always a good day in my book. Unless, on this particular Friday you were swimming in the ocean and got bit by a shark or stung by a jelly fish or something crazy like that. It didn’t happen to me, thank goodness, but these things do happen.
Just so you know, as I type this, I have a very fat cat walking in front of my computer screen making it very difficult to see what I’m typing. Oh great, now she’s biting the screen. Thank goodness for hungry, fat cats. They never fail to keep me amused.
I have been contemplating the 365 day project. What is 365 day project you may ask? Well go check out 365 project. Basically, this is you (or me in this case) taking a picture everyday for a year and posting it on the world wide web… Why would anyone want to do that? I don’t know but at least it gets people taking photos. It might be a go for me. We’ll see.
In the mean time, I tried light painting. Check it out!
I kind of forgot about Music Monday for a while but we’re back. I’m not even sure what to call this but I LOVE it. I originally heard this song while watching a wedding video and fell in love with it. It’s just feel good stuff. Take a listen.
