New Years Resolutions / 365 Days

Is anyone else participating in the 365 Days project (take a self portrait every day for 365 days)? Or do you have any photography-related "resolutions" for the new year?


I'm giving the
/ a whirl, but at day 4 I'm finding it hard enough just to remember to take a picture during the day, let alone one that's creative!

In general I want to try to take more and better pictures, but that's not so much a resolution as a goal. I'm hampered at the moment by having left my tripod in Germany. Doh!

Brian, believe it or not, I was actually looking at this on Flickr and thought of starting on my birthday last Thursday. Alas, as with some b/day celebrations, libations took a role.
I'll probably start sometime this week. (I've already joined the group.)

Excellent, Juan! I'm sure you'll give me some great ideas.

I haven't uploaded any photos in the last couple of days, but I have *taken* some (even if they're very blah). Last night I bought a new tripod and head, a Manfrotto 3021Pro tripod and 488RC2 ball head. My old tripod has yet to show itself after my trip to Germany last month, so I bit the bullet. So much for my resolution to plan my spending a little better!

I did a photo a day in 2003. A lot of them were night scenes of my desk at 11PM Just keep at it, you will learn a lot about your camera and yourself.

I actually got the idea from a workshop with Ruth Bernhard.
