Project 365

As I was surfing the MANY photo blogs that I’m currently addicted to, I kept coming across people’s 365s.  Make that Project 365.  My most favourite is this one.  The idea is that you take a picture a day for a full year to ‘document’ that year rather than have it fly by unnoticed. Photojojo gives an excellent synopsis…

Anyone who has read this blog for the past two years know that I tried this before.  I tried to take a photo per day for Jaia’s first year.  It was not easy.  Not every day is photo worthy.  But I tried my best for being a new mother, an exhausted new mother.  I missed a lot of days, but I have no regrets about the time I spent in front of the computer updating forgetful.ca. I often look back at those photos from Jaia’s early days.  They make me smile.

So I’m going to try again.  As part of my resolutions, I want to take more photos AND spend more quality time on the computer rather than wasting hours with nothing accomplished.  My Project 365 solves that.  And I get to walk away with a memoir of that year…without all the failed attempts to scrapbook or journal the memories.  Turns out I’m a memory blogger, so why fight it?

While I can’t promise a photo every single day, I’m going to try my hardest. I have a feeling that 2009 will be worth remembering.

And if you catch me slagging off, I hope you’ll give a swift kick in the behind.  Nothing like guilt to help me keep up my end of the deal.  Any fellow bloggers want to join Project 365 for 2009?
