Inspired by Twitter pal, @lavagal, I decided to embark on Project 365, where I take a photo a day for an entire year.  For anyone who has been following my blog for some time, I’m sure you’ve seen me mention at least one other time about starting such an endeavor.

My previous efforts at a successful Project 365 were thwarted by my own desire to take a creative, inspired, and artistic photo every single day.  Let’s face it. That’s just not going to happen, which is why I ended up falling off the bandwagon. This time, I am allowing myself to take photos with a *gasp* camera phone, which is almost always with me. (So I have no excuse for not taking at least ONE photo a day, right?) @lavagal has been taking photos for her Project 365 using her iPhone, which is a great idea because the convenience factor is important to me.  Especially now when the very thought of carrying around a DSLR in addition to the diaper bag, my purse, the stroller, Baby Champuru, etc. is just asking a bit too much.  Now that I have a mobile phone that has a camera decent enough for me to want to take photos with it, I started considering it as an option for my Project 365.  (Did I mention, I <3 my iPhone?)

My goal for Project 365 is to simply get through it, and by doing so, I will have documented an entire year in photographs.  I suspect that most of my photos will be of Baby Champuru, but even that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. At the very least, all of those Baby Champuru photos will make a great GrowShow time lapse video at the end of the 365 days.

I’m posting my Project 365 photos to my Facebook page for privacy reasons, but will be sharing selected photos here on my blog under the Project 365 category.  So, I challenge you to begin your own Project 365 — and if you do, let me know!  There’s a great article on Photojojo.com about the how and why of doing a Project 365 to get you started.
