spryngNew project, which folds the old project into its warm embrace. Since becoming a flickr-user and perusing the Last 7 Days Interesting on a near daily basis, I've noticed a bit of a trend: there are a lot of photos from users who have a project where they shoot a photo a day. It's normally called something like "365." I thought it was awesome the first time I saw it, nifty the second, then I didn't see it for a while, and then nearly every photo I saw was a part of such a project. I wanted to do it myself, of course, but held back because I never liked jumping on a bandwagon. But, well, the desire has been greater than expected, along with the burning need to keep practicing and improving. I think taking a photo a day won't really increase the amount of photos I've been taking, but it will force me to take a few minutes and find something interesting every day and nearby.
I'd like to keep taking suggestions along the way, as well. For a bit of added challenge and maybe some days, when my mind is exhausted from work, just for an idea. So give.
I'm also doing this now, of all times, because I want to document from here to this time next year. If all goes well, in a year a lot of exciting things will have happened and Lady and I will be on our way to grad school. If not, then, well, I'll be a year better at photography.
Here's One. I decided to go with the cliched photographer's portrait. Me and my nikon d60, who is just yearning for a name. Algernon?
Jonathan? Ulfila? Jordanes? Neil? Sen? Kyle?
Who are you, my little camera?

Date: 2009-09-15 06:44 am (UTC)I'm thinking about doing a 365 project, or a 100 concepts/100 photos thing. Haven't decided...
(My camera doesn't have a name, but sometimes I call it "Bub.")
