Rules

So here I am, starting a project 365.  I've tried this before, but fell off the wagon practically as quickly as I hopped on.  In order to encourage myself to stick with this project, I have decided that the first rule of Merideth 365 is that I am in charge (I am, after all, Merideth), and therefore I make the rules up as I go.

Technically, a "Project 365" is 365 photos in as many days.  I am challenging myself to get as close to that as possible, while realizing that I am human, and sometimes life gets in the way.  I hope by having very loose 'rules' for myself in this project, that I won't get overwhelmed and call it quits early.

The first broken rule occurred on the very first day - I didn't take a picture!  Oops!  I did take many on day 2, however, so I am substituting an extra day 2 photo for day 1. 

The reasons for starting this project are quite simple:
  • Chronicle the events of the coming year by capturing the small details that I would normally overlook.
  • Get to know my camera! I have owned it for nearly a year, and I am far from learning even a smidgen of what it can do. 
If anyone happens to run into this little project and is also doing one of their own, please link me so I can keep up with your projects as well :)
