Is anyone still doing it or did you fail miserably ?
I didnt even attempt it as im not very good at keep taking photos but may attempt it this year with a new baby coming and all that and may encorage me to take more photos so who is in with me for project 365 for 2011?
 
i've tried doing a photo 365 the last two years in a row. in 2009 i lasted until march. in 2010 i lasted until february :giggle

but i'm turning 30 in january so i'm thinking of doing a "365 of 30" project. not just photos though - like a mixed media anything book where the only rule is i add SOMETHING in it once a day, even if that something is just a few words about my day scribbled on a piece of paper.

i'm hoping 3rd times the charm? LOL!
 
michelle, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea!!! is that what the pockets are for? that would be awesome! I may have to copy!

I've been doing p365 and still continuing! It's a habit now!

I told myself from the beginning that i was just going to do my best. If i missed a day, so what! I rather have 320 days of the year than none.....and i tell ya, it was a perfect solution for me! I didn't beat myself up or quit when a day went by and i just didn't get it done. The year before, i tried and failed because of too much pressure to be PERFECT...not gonna happen! I also allowed myself to not have PERFECT photo's each day- again, TOO MUCH PRESSURE! who needs it! it's suppose to be fun! I even just used my camera phone here and there...some of my favorites came from it actually!

I adore being able to go back and see my photo's as a diary of the year. Even with missed days, it's still quite complete! I have my photo's on my blog in my siggie.....

I'm finishing up my third year....it's just become habit, like Val said! :) I love it and probably will continue to do it forever!! I love looking back on all of my photos...it's a great journal for what we have done as a family each year. Unfortunately I still haven't printed any of them into a book...that's my goal for 2011!!

I would recommend P365 to anyone!

yep! that's what the pockets are for! :) i got the idea from a Somerset mag article where this artist did a page in her art journal everyday for her 30th year. i'm buying some book boards and will assemble the book myself with D-rings for maximum flexibility. i'll use a combination of pages depending on what i feel like each day . . .often it's going to be art journal pages or simply some thereaputic painting or drawing. some days it will be a digital layout i print out, somedays it will be photos or just journalling. i'm not putting restrictions on myself - it's gonna be whatever i feel like or have time for each day . . .and of course pockets and envelopes for collecting receipts and tickets and mail and newspaper clippings, etc.

you are absolutely right - the only way it can work is if you remove the pressure and allow yourself to be imperfect with it. that is exactly my problem and why i failed so many times!!!

you pros may need to coach me through some difficult times next year lol! i may need help staying on track :dizzy
 
I am going to do it this year. And I think Val has a great point, if you miss a day it is OK...that will definitely help me stick with it.
 
Please please do it! I never thought I would be able to do it, and I am almost done!!! I agree with Val - don't beat yourself up if you miss a day. I used some filler photos for sure! You will love the end results if you try it! And do come and play along in the Photography Forums - I will be leading the P365 there again in 2011!!!
 
I totally failed miserably the past two years. I am afraid of committing again. eek! thinking about it though!
 
i had a couple requests to make 365 templates
Jan - dec a set of four each month but with my crazy flair
so i thought maybe i might try it since i will probally end up doing the templates LOL
 
P365 was an epic fail from me the last 2 years....but I am determined to stick with it this year.

I already have my iPhone loaded with a P365 app lol...a daily reminder won't hurt.
 
i'm horrible at remembering to do ANYTHING on a daily basis, apart from general hygiene :giggle

i would LOVE to try it again, so i probably will. i think part of the reason i failed so badly last time around was that i tried to do too much. instead of just taking the pictures & documenting them for myself, i tried to edit them, post them to the blog daily, blah blah... realistically, NOT gonna happen for me. i'm just not good at that kinda stuff. wish i were...

brynn marie, is there REALLY a p365 app? that's too funny! may check it out - i'm curious!
