I ended June of June 2014 of Project 365 with a black and white image, so I shall start July with a black and white image since it'll be the 5th of the 5 day challenge. Posting 5 black and white images for 5 days had me itching to get color back into my photos. In hindsight I didn't think that it would have this effect on me, but in the end I was able to appreciate colored images and look at the world in black and white photos in a different light.
As the project continues, I drag myself to keep shooting, but as I kept shooting I discovered that I tend to hold back and not pull out the camera until I see something worthy of capturing. I guess the discerning eye has been developed without me knowing. Looking into my archived images, I could see more scrap than useful shots.
Often times I get disappointed and sometimes I even start to think: "why bother, the shot will be scrapped anyway-?"

Whether I like it or not, I shoot less and still trash lots of images. Even if I think I got my shot for the day, I'd still end up going back to the computer only to see that I didn't get what I wanted. I'd get frustrated most of the time, but I'd just kept at it.
