About a year ago, I started my own project 365 on flickr, where the idea is to take a photo a day for a year. This week, I took my 365th photo and wrapped up the project (at the time, I didn’t realize it was my last photo or I would have taken a better one). The project was a lot of fun but it was also rather challenging. There were a lot of days when nothing exciting happened and I was totally uninspired. But then there were days where picking just one photo to represent the day didn’t seem right. My day to day life is boring but I’m glad I had an extra reason to document the exceptional days. As intense as the project was, I’m glad I did it - I feel like I’ve learned more about my camera and become better at framing photos and seeing new opportunities for photos. I think I’ve also gotten over people staring at me when I take out my big camera to take a photo. It’s also cool to know that I’ve essentially documented most of my first year in California.

I don’t think I’ll be continuing to take a photo of the day but I’m still going to continue taking photos of the mundane everyday aspects of my life. Maybe a photo of the week?
