Project Life 365

Sharing is caring!

To grow and develop we have to push ourselves to do things that we don’t normally do.  One place that I would like to grow over the coming year is in my photography skills.  I can certainly point the camera at a subject and take a picture, but I want more than that.  I want my pictures that have style.  I want pictures that are capable of showing and telling about what I was attempting to capture on film.  I also want to force myself to take more pictures so that I will actually do that more.  I have a habit of getting so caught up in the moment that I forget about taking a picture until it is too late.

To help me develop my photography skills I have decided to take on the Project Life 365 challenge.  For this challenge you are given a topic of something to capture on film for every day of the year.  Hopefully a year from now, when 2013 ends, I will have an amazing collection of photographs to look back at.  If things go the way I hope I will also see a change, for the better, in my photography skills.  Maybe I’ll even be able to see my progress as I look through the pictures!

To make sure I stick to my goal I am going to be sharing my pictures with all of you!  Every week, most likely on Saturday, I will be uploading the previous weeks pictures to an album on the Facebook fan page.  I also will start participating in Wordless Wednesdays, so every Wednesday my blog post for the day will be of my favorite photograph from that week.

I am very excited about this new endeavor.  If anyone else is participating in Project Life 365 (or one like it) let me know.  I would love to follow other people’s journeys as they capture their year on film.
