Project 365: 2010 edition
To participate in Project 365, as explained by Lifehacker (which was shared originally on Photodojo),
You take a picture of anything (the Photojojo post suggests varying your themes) and post it somewhere (like Flickr) where you can keep all 365 of your photos.
Last year, I started the project, using my newly gifted Flickr Pro account to host everything. Sadly, because I got tired of trying to take interesting shots in my house, I gave up near the end of February.
This year will be different. Here are a few things I’m going to do to make the project more successful for me:
- Flickr Groups: I joined 2 “365 themed” groups (here and here), one of which, contains members from my PLN (personal learning network).
- Evernote: One of my biggest challenges was coming up with a shot for the day. I plan on using Evernote to not only jot down creative ideas when they come to me, but to record a quick note of the shot (where I took it, why, how I felt, the day # and date, etc). If I happen to take the daily photo using my iPhone, it’s even easier.
- Moleskine: This is my Evernote backup plan, if for some reason, I don’t have my phone or computer access.
- Printed calendar: Using Jerry Seinfeld’s lifehack for keeping (or breaking) a habit, I’ll cross every day that I take a photo on. This is a little easier to do with a printed calendar than my normal go-to calendar, Google Calendar. Of course, I’ll still be using Google’s to keep track of the day numbers of the year with this little hack.
Are you attempting Project 365 this year? Have you completed it before? If you have tips or tricks to make us successful, what say you?
