Project 365
Imagine being able to look back at every single day from the past year. Imagine being able to recall what happened that day by having that one simple image to capture the moment. Just take a deep breath and relax. When you look at a picture that you’ve taken, don’t you feel that sudden rush that infiltrates your mind when you see that specific arrangement of colors on a piece of paper? Maybe it has a theme that you enjoy, or maybe it’s just because you needed a new hobby? For any reason, starting a Project 365 is always a nice thing.
- Undertaking a Project 365 allows you to challenge yourself to the set theme, or simply giving yourself a deadline for pictures.
- It allows you to remember what happens.
- It’ll give you a lot of practice with handling your camera, and you can track your yearlong progress with your device.
- It’s a long term goal.
There isn’t much to say about starting a project 365 besides what I just stated, but the feeling when you finish one, I bet, is exhilarating. I personally have yet to have finished a Project 365, and most of my friends bail on it around the 70th day, but every picture brings a memory. Getting a lot of feedback from your friends is also a nice way to broadcast your talent, and in time you will improve.
So here are some tips to get you started:
-
Bring your camera everywhere
-
Set a theme for your project and let them vary.
-
Tell a story
-
Don’t stop. Ever.
Here is an amazing example of a simple Project 365 to undertake. And never forget: Have fun with it.
