Sometime in the past year I stumbled upon a Lifehacker post about Project 365. The idea is to document your life by taking a photo every day for a year. The author gives a few reason why you might want to do this. For me, it's a simple and fun way to ensure that I get to be creative for at least a few minutes every day. As life has gotten busier, being creative is something that increasingly seems to get pushed to the side and I desperately want to bring it back.
So I am. One photo at a time. Every day. I started on my birthday and intend to keep it up through the coming year.
I may need your help until it becomes second nature so I encourage you to follow along. I'm not making any promises -- to myself or anyone else -- about the quality of these pictures. Some will undoubtably be more inspired than others. That's okay. For me, this isn't about perfection nearly as much as it is about the creative challenge of coming up with something new every day for a year. And to simply delight in the little things that give every day so much texture and richness. I can't wait to look back at the year ahead this time next year. Won't you join me?
