Project FOR Life
January 1st, 2011 § 15 Comments
Hello and Happy New Year!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful support on my last post. I’m glad to know the way I do things around here is liked. While I don’t foresee a big haul in the way of change, there definitely will be some newness in 2011. Let’s start with the first big announcement.
Today I begin Project FOR Life.
Essentially it boils down to my own spin on 365 Project. Given my recent love for photography and the passion I have but don’t always give to my blog, I’ve decided to post a new photo every day for the year of 2011. The goal of Project (F) rame (O)f (R)eference Life is to learn more about photography, discover the world around me, see things in a new light (literally and figuratively) and talk about life with all of you.
Eventually, I will most likely move this to its own tab at the top of my page, but for now it will remain on the homepage. I’ll definitely still be writing – and may write oftentimes about what it is I am posting. It’s going to be a work in progress and I hope you’ll join me for the ride. Hey, who knows? Maybe you’ll start you own and we can be amateur photogs together!
Day One: Jan. 1, 2011
I promise I won’t become a sellout and post photos of dogs every day (plus, she leaves tomorrow.) I really loved the natural light in this shot coming in from the window to her right – I’m finding mornings are the absolute prime time for my new hobby. Here Norah is perched atop the couch keeping tabs on everyone as well as the cookie I held right next to my lens to keep her still.
Love it, Norah is so cute. I’m debating between the 365-day project and the 52-week photo project, gotta decide soon!
What an adorable pup! Sounds like a fun project! Happy 2011
I like long projects! More time to perfect them.
Cute Norah, so clever looking.
woohhoo! i am doing this same thing! hahaha i was like, “i will not post the dogs every day”–so funny. i can’t wait to follow your photos.
I tried this last year but only made it a week or so. Maybe with you doing it will give more incentive to continue this year. Happy New Year, llooking forward to your journey this year.
What a cool project idea! You inspire me to make some cool project for the year.
Norah is one cute pup! How old is she? Project FOR Life sounds great–I look forward to seeing your photos!
Thank you! Norah will be two next month. She is hilarious – I think she looks like an Ewok!
This will be so fun! I used to be quite the photog in HS and college and then totally let the hobby go and lost all of my skill. It’s awful. I need to work on it a bit. Maybe your challenge will educate me?
P.S. I don’t think dog pictures are selling out. I like dog pictures
love love love this pic of Norah! Can’t wait to watch your photographic endeavors unfold on your blog.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!
I love every picture so far! This is an amazing project and I can’t wait to follow along with it
so creative and unique, your blog remains an absolute favorite… and happy belated new year by the way! 9 days late… not too bad right?? kidding… I feel like I’m perpetually nine days behind on my life, so it suits.
