Last week, through a friends blog, I stumbled across a Flickr group called 365 Days. Since writing a novel for National Novel Writing Month last November, I have been looking for something new and creative to challenge me. I don't feel that I have been spending enough time with my camera of late, so this particular challenge appealed to me.
Very simply, to quote the 365 Days rules page: "the 365 Days group is a project in which members submit one self portrait each day for a year". There is further clarification on the site on what counts etc., but that is pretty much the essence of the project. Again, I quote, "the main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject. For the purposes of this group, any photo which you took that contains any part of your body counts".
If you'd like to follow my progress, here is my 365 Days Flickr photo set. Alternatively you can follow in your feed reader, via the RSS feed here.
For day 1, I couldn't decide on a specific photo, so I ended up creating a collage. It looks a bit like this:
As the year goes on, it'd be great to hear your feedback. You can comment on the photos over at the Flickr photo set.
