Hey,
the photo teacher at my school asked me if I had ever heard of this. The idea of it is basically to take a photo of anything, once per day for a year and it ends up becoming a huge album of your entire year. Its a pretty cool idea that some of you guys would appreciate I feel. I started today and im just gonna use instagram to post them. If your interested post where you are putting them all so we can follow.

this actually sounds like a good idea, I've seen lots of people doing it on flickr. It would force me to shoot more, something that would be nice because I've been putting photography a little to the side since I started school again.

definitely need to shoot more!

IMO but quality > quantity. There are some great 365's out there, some of the self portraits is my mind, but for most it ends up being instagrams/pics of food and their dogs, basically filler.

I think this would be sick if it was a self portrait, a picture of your room, something constant.

they say it takes 30 days to form a habit, imo doing this (trying to get yourself to take a photo every day) teaches you to look at things with a photographers eye, at least by the end of it.

I'm doing a 365 right now. Started on the new year, I'm getting close to 300. It's really hard to keep it original, and I do shoot a fair amount of photos that are filler. It's realllllly hard to actively carry a dslr around everyday and shoot with it when you have other things to do besides shoot pictures. I would say its worth it though, because you can look back and remember every little thing you did. It brings up a Lot of cool memories!

Fuck mobile. But yeah I end up shooting a lot of Iffy photos on my iPhone either because I forgot to shoot a picture during the day, or I didn't want to carry around my giant ass camera. I have it on fb so I you wanna take a look pm me.

im impressed that you do it with your dslr. I feel like probably 75% of mine will just be iphone shots but it doesnt matter to me. Its more just beingn that type of mindset to get a cool photo each day not necessarily the best picture I could possibly get. Do you have a blog or something that you are posting them too? id love to see it
