Happy New Year everyone!
I don’t believe in new years resolutions. I think if something is worth committing to, then why wait for a particular day to start? However, Project 365 is an appropriate thing to start with the new year. A couple of years ago, I participated in a project to take at least one photo a day for a year: Project 365. I have decided to do the project again this year! I haven’t been giving this blog the attention it deserves, and I think P365 will help me to do so, ans I plan to post every photo that I take. I think it’ll also be a lot easier to do this time, because I now have an iPhone! It’s so easy to snap a photo, upload it and post it, all from the iPhone, and all within a few minutes. It’s a lot less hassle than copying files from a memory card, processing and uploading them. I’ll be taking photos for P365 with my 5D MkII as well though, you can be certain.
Why don’t you join me? I’d love for others who read this blog to participate in the project, and post your photos as comments on my posts! Even if you’ve already missed the first or second day of the year, you can just start now, and finish up a couple of days into 2011.
Here is my first photo for P365 2010, taken just minutes after midnight, at our friends’ new years eve party:

Our new year’s eve was a lot of fun! We enjoyed a delicious barbeque in friends’ newly landscaped back yard, and just finished eating in time for a massive thunderstorm to pass through. My last photos of 2009 were rather spectacular! After the food and storm watching, Darren, who is a music teacher, got out his electronic piano, and we all had a great time listening to music and singing songs.

I decided not to wait for the new year – started a similar project at the end of November. I can’t imagine I’d be able to do this without the iPhone. Still have too many days where I throw something together at the last minute, but I’m working on it.

great! Me too… It seems it is a frequent decision around in these days :) Good luck!
and happy new year!

I’m doing it too! I made P365 one of my 101 things in 1001 days (www.dayzeroproject.com) and decided that Jan 1st would be the best day to start. I actually found your blog by searching for fun things to do with photography because I want to expand my skills and try things I’ve never done before. After all, I have 361 days to go!

@UniKoRn I did :) I saw it coming on the rain radar, so I grabbed the tripod and set up the camera in preparation. I was ready ;)
@Michael It’s part of the nature of P365, especially in the early stages when you’re getting use to the idea of taking a photo every day :) Good luck wiht yours!
@Tom Thank you! Watch for more of the posts :)
@C I’m happy tohear how you found my blog! I hope we will see some of your photos, perhaps in comments on my P365 posts!

Wow! Nice shots Neil… I was really with your photos especially those one that you captured the lightning… For me you’re such a professional photographer. How I wish I could also learn photography… Are your books still out in the market? I hope I can still buy at least one. Much thanks…
Great day,
