January 1st is the day that many people begin a new 365 Project. (I started mine on my birthday, another good time to start.) These projects catalog a year in your life and art as well as being a challenge to your creativity.
A 365 Project is a project that you commit to doing every day for one year (365 days in a year). These have been around for a very long time and can be done in a variety of mediums or aspects of life, not just photography. Some of the things people have done include: a photo a day, a new recipe, a poem, painting or drawing a day. Within photography there are many options: just a photo a day, or a daily photo using a specific style (like mine, details below), using the early bird filter, a self-portrait, a macro shot, the person’s view at a specific time of day/night, or many other ideas. Mine is based upon a specific style, using a specific app and type of photo that I take. You can view my project on Instagram at #cw365a to get an idea of what it might be like.
