Inspired by several blogs and photographers, I decided to venture into the 365 Day Project, a project in which people vow to take atleast one photograph everyday. I’ve modified it slightly to fit my purpose since I already take an average of around 25 - 50 photographs everyday. My objective is to take one good photograph everyday. The subject can be anything from things I do, people I meet, places I go but the photograph should be good and expressive rather than just an average everyday picture. It sounds like an easy task right now and I hope it remains that way but usually, things that look simple have this bad habit of turning into a tough task.

I will be starting from today, the 9th of September 2007 on this gargantuan task and hopefully, will finish it by the 9th of September 2008. No specific reason for choosing this date, I just felt that its better to start today when I’m excited about it rather than postpone it to a nice date, only to lose interest.

I have created a new album in my gallery specifically for this purpose, I will updating this album daily with a new photograph and description. You can view this album here. I will probably be posting every weekly on the main page about the photographs. And along with these weekly posts, I will also be posting tips for taking better photographs.

I also invite everyone, photographer or not, to join me in this exciting venture as this will not only help you maintain a visual record of your life and activities but also help you improve your photography skills in the process. It might seem to be a huge commitment right now but once you get used to the practice, you will not want to stop. In the rare event that you do wish to stop, dont. At the end of 365 days, you will realise that it was worth the effort. Good luck to everyone who wishes to attempt this task!

Updates - I have uploaded the entire 365 Day Project on to Flickr and you can view all the photos in a set here. You can also view a slideshow of the photos here. And to keep updated with the project you can subscribe to this RSS Feed.
