Flickr 365days Project
April 29, 2008
I decided to join the Flickr.com 365 Days project. Here is a bit more about the group as defined in the rules.
The 365 Days group is a project in which members submit one self portrait each day for a year.
All of the rules are right there in that one sentence, but it seems to confuse so many folks, so we’ll elaborate a bit:
A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you - it is not a photo of you taken by someone else and it is not a photo of something you hold near and dear to your heart. Please don’t try to interpret ’self portrait’ into something drastically different than what it is.
You are only allowed to submit one photo for each day. Only one. Feel free to do whatever you want to do within your own 365 Days set, but only send one to the pool.
You should plan on taking a shot every day for a year. If you miss one or two days, that’s fine. If your camera breaks and you miss an entire month, we’re not gonna kick you out. But if you take a self portrait once every five weeks and send it to this group along with every other self portrait group on Flickr, your photo will be removed.
It seems interesting very interest and there are a lot of amazing photographs taken by people. I hope to be able to come up with interesting pictures over time. I also like the commitment of doing something everyday for 365 days. That’s great!

So, hope something good comes out of it. Here is my set for the group: http://www.flickr.com/photos/unixfudotnet/sets/72157604739863841/.
It’s already becoming difficult to come up with something interesting. Maybe that’s where cool stuff comes from?! I don’t know, I’m not an artistic person, yet would like to be.

Got something to say?



Hey, that *does* sound neat! I think the requirement of taking one picture a day for a whole year is bound to bring out some creativity — while you said you’re not an “artistic” person, artistry more often than not comes outta Just Doing It.
Good luck, and looking forward to your pictures!
