I have written about Project 365 before, and I will probably write about it again. Specially if I actually make it happen in 2012.

Today, The Daily Digi also tackles P365, and Steph features the iPhone app Photo 365. I got that app a few weeks back and loved using it. Without committing to a new P365, I actually took photos each day for a few days after getting it installed. I didn’t know about the alarm feature though, maybe I should have that activated.

For 2012, I really want to get serious with Project Life. P365, I think, will be crucial to making that happen. So yes, in 2012, the focus of my Project 365 will still be documenting the everyday life. Improving my photography and finding my voice will be a bonus.

In 2010, I started my P365 on the first day of the year. This was that photo:

My next attempt will be that way too. I will start on January 1. But it doesn’t mean I have to wait until then to get in to the habit of taking daily photos.

The last photo I posted on the photo blog for 2010 was the one below, but it probably wasn’t the last photo I took for the project. There probably were more, but not posting them became the reason I stopped altogether.

Not being able to share my photos online was a bad reason to stop doing it. After all, the reason for starting it was to get good at taking photos. Maybe I got it wrong. Perhaps at the time, my reason for taking on the task was to have something pretty to share at the end of the day. And perhaps too, that’s why I failed. Each time.

Katrina Kennedy who runs CaptureYour365 really got it. You need to start your 365 project with your purpose in mind. Without that purpose, it will be tough to stick it out until day 365.

So Project 365 2012 edition for me will be about documenting the everyday life.
