Project 365 and Happy New Year!

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.
