Project 365: January 2014

As promised, here's  another photography related post.

If you have been following or checking out the blog, you may have seen last year's(2013) project 365.  So, in pursuit to improve and learn more on photography, I took on another year for project 365 for 2014.

Starting of the year way back in 2013(January 24), I took on project 365 with an iPhone app. Here's a link to my app uploads.  It challenged me to shoot photos everyday. The objective of the project as stated in my blogpost earlier, is to improve.  It was quite a challenge to force yourself to keep shooting every single day of the year, especially for a lazy and scatter brained person like me.

The 2013 project is a 2 sided story for me, on the positive side I've completed project 365, however I wasn't able keep my blogpost up to date I was only able to post from Week 1(last week of January 2013) to week 14 (first week of May 2013). I'm not sure if anyone was following those posts, but if there are people who check it out, I apologize for not following-through, due to busy schedules and full time work related conflicts.

At the beginning of 2014 I thought deeply whether I should take on project 365 again, can I still shoot daily? What stipulations, limitations and rules do I have to set myself?  I've been discouraged by a few pros on YouTube videos that I watched, that project 365 is a waste of time.  As I finished up the 2013 project, I just went ahead and continued to take it on.  Again, what do I have to lose?

This time, I won't be relying on my iPhone, or point and shoot cameras, only with my Canon 500d, or my brother-in-law's Nikon D7000, unless both DSLRs are not available.  Another stipulation is, to bring the 500d where ever when ever.  To the people who know me, they won't be surprised that I have a camera bag with me or black messenger bag. 

Another commitment is to upload daily, write some thoughts that went in to that image. I have multiple media streams of the said project: Facebook, G+, Flickr, Project 365, and Instagram.  It may take a while to get them up to date, but I'll do my best to get the photos uploaded and up to speed.

In hindsight, I thought that I was going to scrap the blogpost about project 365 and my progress, but due to certain occurrences, I had to learn html coding.  As you can see, all photos for the month of January are here and can be viewed in larger size. I have to apologize on some of the photos since they have been transferred from one media site to another, making them lack luster, and get pixelated. I didn't anticipate that I'll be posting them in larger format.  Maybe next time, I'll be able to upload better and bigger resolution images.
