I also like the 365 days challenge, for the whole year. My birthday is coming up, I might do that starting on my 21st birthday, until my 22nd! Great idea!

I'm mid-way through my 'photo per day' challenge for 2008 and am finding it very interesting! In response to Bakari's comment - I've tried not to take too many pictures of the same thing - at the start of the challenge I found myself spending the whole time doing macro shots so I deliberately tried other things. I use a mixture of cameras (including my phone) and try (hard) to get the pictures posted on the day I take them. Comments would be most welcome ;-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/padsbrother/sets/72157603602609413/ This is a really interesting article!

I also try to vary the images I take. For instance, sometimes I just look for the most interesting visual I come across on that day. Other times, I give myself an "assignment" before I leave the house, such as Something green, or something blue, or action, comedy, kids, city life, or only vertical. I find varying my approach keeps things fresh and challenging. I have tried to do the same thing, take at least 1 photo a day. I also try to vary the images I take.

For instance, even though I'm only two days into my project, I finding myself that I'm taking photos of course several of different subjects. Is it not good to use a photo from say a previous day to post on another day, or is it better to be strict about shooting and posting one good photo per day? I've already learned that instead of taking a few photos in the morning and posting it, it's probably better to wait until the late evening to choose from other possible shots that might be taken during the same day.

And I'm finding that to be really challenging and interesting, I'm learning more about taking shots and creating opportunities from everyday things around me. I can't wait to see what I come up with by the end of the year. It motivates and challenges in so many different ways. I’m in the middle of a project 365, which is a photo a day for a year.

I did a "Photo A Day" for 2007 - yes the whole year - and saw myself get better. Sometimes I cringe looking at those from January, February and March, but can see how I progresses. I started to look at the world differently, seeing shots in my head at every turn. Luckily, my Canon 20D was with me all the time and when my lens broke, my point-and-shoot carried me through. Try the project - you'll like it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mark_k_nj/sets/72157594538379604/ This is a great tip. I did a “Photo A Day” for 2007 – yes the whole year – and saw myself get better.

Pretty cool and imaginative. I think I'll try it too...not sure when I will start...it's a pretty big commitment, but I do want to become a better photographer and be proud to share my photos.
