Project 365

Yipee - it's the new year! Rather than setting out a list of resolutions that may or may not be kept, I've decided to try ONE major goal for this year. It's called Project 365. It's taking one photo each and every day of the year. The goal is to see your life in a different way and a new perspective. The upside will be to record life's every day comforts that we take for granted, as well as the ones more memorable, and maybe just help me broaden how I see my "own little Idaho." It will definitely make me a better photographer and push my creativity to it's limits.


Why do it? Well, imagine being able to look back on any given day in the year and see what I was doing - or just remembering that fabulous winter day hiking while we're waiting out a hurricane in the summer... I'll be able to recall who I've met, or what I've learned, what I had for dinner last week, or just a funny moment lost in my vast brain files of memory.


I'm not the only crazy to take on this challenge, oh no, I'm not THAT clever... If you want to join in the fun, you can check out the Flickr 365-1 group pool (479 members and rising) and sign up to stay motivated, or just look through all those participating and showing their photos. Either way, it will be a fun and interesting project! Won't you join me in this challenge? I think it would be great fun to share our pictures with each other!


I'm hoping that I'll be able to create at least one scrapbook page a week documenting the highlight photos and that way, I'll at least keep up with my scrapbooking instead of always being behind.

And so, I'm off to upload my first photo - you can follow my Project 365 photos by clicking

Have a blessed day!

  1. Welcome to Flickr, and to Photo365! I'm a long-time Flickr-er, but new to the 365 concept. I am excited already, and am looking forward to seeing all the great stuff people are taking photos of.

    "See" you around!
