Project 365

So far, I have been able to keep up with the Project 365, but it is only January 7th.

What I am actually finding more difficult is choosing just one photo idea.  I find my brain is working overtime and I am thinking of lots of photo ideas.  I find myself saying, "you can save that idea for another day, but not this one, so take this photo."

I have decided that I am not going to take photos of any people.  I am going to take photos of things and my surroundings so that the book will be about life around me.  "Life Around Me" might even make a good title!

I joined Flickr and the digi-Project 365 group.  I am finding that it is working out really well.  I feel a closeness to others doing the project, rather than doing a lot of blog hopping to find others.  When I upload my photo, I can just comment on a few other's photos as they are all in one place.

I am finding the Flickr uploader very easy and useful.  I am able to just put my journaling in the description area and upload quickly.  In this way, it is preserved and tucked away each day until such time as I find time to put book pages together for each week.

I still have not decided how I am to do the book.  I need templates that have room for my photos and journaling.  I am going to be checking out what the digi-world has to offer soon.  I also am looking at just using the Blurb.com book software.  It sure would make it less complicated.  However, I might miss having the .jpg's to save for future generations in this way.

Maybe I will end up making templates and sharing if I do not find anything I like, but I will certainly pass on what I decide to utilize when I make the decision.

My daily photos are now in the sidebar of my blog.  Rather than blogging every day, you can just peek at my life in the sidebar.

I have decided to pull out my old camera as it is small and tuck it in my purse so I can have it ready where ever I am.  I think I should have done that a long time ago.
