How many of you are doing Project 365? If you don't know what it is - it's a challenge to take a photo every day of the year and put it somewhere such as a blog. I post mine here: http://manwariel365.wordpress.com/
I have one. DB has one. And Tammy is thinking about starting one. Anyone else? We can support each other.

I added your 365 to my blogroll. Do you know the people from your Other 365 list?
I also have photography links. Photo Jojo (http://photojojo.com/content/diy/diy-film-container-flash-diffuser/) has great tips including how to make a cheap diffuser for your pop-up flash.
Thank you. I added yours to mine. Yes, they're all friends of mine from another forum.
Give me a few more weeks and I'll be in. I'm working on upgrading my Canon Rebel 35mm to a Canon Rebel digital. I just can't warm up to shooting film anymore. The film to disk processing thing is killing me.
40 days so far...
DB's Photo a Day Blog (http://db-a-day.livejournal.com/)
I don't plan on stopping after the year is up. Going to see how long I can go without missing a beat.
Just uploaded today's photo.
I'm totally the opposite Anna!! I MISS film! My dad bought me a Canon Rebel film years ago, and I've used the heck out of it!! I have a digital...but it's more of a point and shoot, so it's just not as much fun to me!! My dad has some nicer expensive digitals that I'll be "borrowing" ::) ;) for my 365 project.
As soon as I start a blog/journal I'll post the link here. I'm gonna start on the 13th, but might not get any uploaded for a few days...gonna be a busy weekend (not because of valentine's).
*edited for stupid spelling error
You don't have to post everyday. I know there will be days when I won't be able to post. But I'll take the photos everyday.
Any suggestions on what site would be good to start my blog?
Like wordpress, livejournal, blogspot??
for my 365 I use wordpress. It set up so anyone can see it, but to comment they have to enter an email. And comments have to be approved. I like the tagging system better than LJs.
Ok. I've got my photo blog up!! http://tammy365.wordpress.com/ (http://tammy365.wordpress.com/) I've added everyone's photo blogs on my blogroll.
I've added your link.
to change your time you have to edit your settings.
From your Dashboard look for the settings link. click it. about midway down the page is the time zone setting. use the drop drop menu to adjust to your time zone.
I have a friend who is a professional photog (several actually), well this one took this a step further and only allowed ONE picture a day for one year. One shot...no re-do. This was back in the day of film only, no digital. Of course this was before he relied on photography for his sole income. Got the idea from a book and decided to try it himself...yikes.
Thanks!!

Was the book in question Jim Brandenburg's "Chased by the Light"?
Yep, I believe that was the one. Hell of a book, serious work.
I just went to see Michael Monroe who performs the music for the show Jim Brandenburg did highlighting his photography. Monroe uses special guitars and a synth/loop type machine to create almost haunting melodies. I've seen him several times. Always great. He also does weekly jam sessions in his home up north. Quite an impressive man.
i should do that as soon as i get a new cord for my camera i love sunsets and have taken some great ones on my cell phone
The server that hosts my 365 is down. No photo yet.
May have to post it on LJ or myspace tonight.
I went to your site twice today, and it gave me a totally blank page. Hope it gets straightened out soon.
It's working for the moment. I got the pic posted.
Today's image is posted. Not just one pic but an experiment with some time lapse photography,

This sounds like fun! Maybe I'll try it...
Man I didn't know this actually had a real name, haha. It looks like it could be fun though, maybe I'll check it out...
I encourage everyone to try it. It' s a challenge to find a subject each day.
Oh yeah, I forgot to post the link to mine, I started it on Friday.

Cool another RF 365.
Cool! I really enjoy looking at everyone's photos!!
I started one on Friday too!

I guess I'm out of the project. For now anyway, until I can figure out how to start a diary without the digital ease. I did take my 35mm out this weekend and what a joy is was to shoot with her again! Until I figure how to afford the digital I want I'll keep shooting film.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying all the diaries. :)
Oh...I have a wonderful film camera that I miss using!! I feel sorta guilty that it just sits in my closet now!! It's a Canon Rebel X, dad got it for me several years ago for a birthday gift. I'm thinking about digging it back out and using it again....it's just more difficult to get film developed now!

Thanks. So far not stellar photos, but I'm enjoying it. :)
Don't feel bad, my own dad told me my pictures need to be more artistic! It's just hard to find an interesting subject when I'm looking at the same thing all day long!!!!
Checking in to see how everyone is doing with their 365 project.
I'm failing...life was boring so I thought I'd have no problem...then things got interesting....and it slips my mind!! Ugh.
I forgot a lot early in my project. The weather was bad. It was dark when I got off work, I'd sit down for a bit and realize I need to shoot. It took about a month before it became a habit,
Most of my days I'm trying to be creative since I have to shoot "in studio", i.e., my basement, but I'm still managing to get at least one photo per day. I wish I could get regular 9-5 work days so I could have some real free time to be out and about in the world taking pics...
Haven't missed a day yet! All the photos I took yesterday were quite crappy, so I'll just have to post one of those, but I already took my one for today and I like it. :)
Hey, even if they are "crappy" photos, I still post them. ;D
Deadbishop...you haven't posted any crappy ones!!!!!!!
I hope everyone can continue with those! My problem is not that I don't take the photos (because I take them all the time) but I don't have the time nor 7-day computer access to post stuff.
nice work all!

It's more about using your camera everyday. Everyday use will train you to look for subjects you might other wise miss.
The blog part is for feedback and support. It's not necessary to upload everyday it just keeps you from having to do a lot at once.
I've posted everyone's link on the first page of this thread.
Todays pics are up. I posted a set of pics today from a local shop. It's one of the coolest stores in Nashville.
Anyone else having trouble with wordpress tonight? The site is real slow. At least the admin area is. It took a long time to edit and post tonight and I can't get to link from the admin area. I can see everyone's blog.
Just hit the halfway mark.
Day 193 for me. Just a heads up for those who follow mine, I posted a NSFW image a few days ago, so you may not want to be looking at my site if you're on the job... ::)
Will be posting day 201 tonight!
