You may have heard of it, you may even be doing one of your own, but I thought that after reading a bit more about it, it was time to start my own.

For those that have not heard of the 365 Project it is setting yourself a target of taking one photo a day for a year. The idea is that at the end of it you have a photo gallery and album that gives you a snapshot of your year. There will be times that I will be completely uninspired to take a photo, and can’t think of what to do, and can’t be bothered but I am hoping that I can push myself and make sure that I see this through.

I know some photographers that are doing this are setting themselves themes to cover over the year for this project, such as ‘light’ or ‘emotions’ etc.  But I have decided to just make it a daily diary and summary of something that happened to me that day, or something that caught my interest, or made me laugh, so when i look back at the end of the year, I can hopefully remember what happened on those days, and what provoked me to take that photo.

I started my 365 Project on the 3^rd July 2011, to mark my 35^th year, and hopefully use it as a catalyst to push myself to try new things, to keep thinking about ideas, to keep myself motivated. So when my next birthday rolls around I will feel that I have learnt new techniques, have got to know my camera a bit better again, and it has provided a positive space for me to express myself which in turn has had a positive effect on Asmartartz Photography!

I will be updating these on my Asmartartz Photography facebook page, and my Flickr account if I remember. If you want to follow it, click on the tabs on my page above and go to contact. You will find the links to my other pages there!
