I figured I’d give a 365 project a shot this year, as I’ve mostly forgotten about taking photos recently, and I quite like having a record of the year.
I started in Janurary, however stopped midway through. Id not renewed my flickr PRO account, due to me not using it much in the tail end of 2011, and used a free alternative. I found Blipfoto, however quickly became frustrated with it. Quite often I would take a photo on the day, and then sometimes postprocess/upload the following day, however their site was far too intrusive with EXIF headers, and upload date. So from the offset, I had photos listed as completely the wrong day, and then not being able to upload a photo for that day, as yesterdays was recorded for it. Argh. So I gave up.
However, I’m not the type of person to be defeated, so will be starting again from 01-02-2012. As this year is a leap year, it will be a 366, to get me around until the end of Jan-2013.
I think it’s going to be a bit of a challenge, as some days, when working from home, I don’t even get out of my PJs, let alone go out and take an interesting photo.
I think from my short test run, I may look at having a theme for a month, not sure on the categories yet, but sure will work something out.
Have upgraded my flickr account, as will be uploading them there, and then will set something up to present them in a decent format. I have the flickr-addon for wordpress setup, but it hasn’t been maintained for a few years, so has a few ‘features’ that I need to look into fixing, as the maintainer looks to have given up.
2012, lets do it!
