After making a few New Years resolutions, I decided to embark on a photo project. Why 360 you ask? Well the main reason is I'm 5 days late getting started and I didn't want the project to roll over into 2011. The other reason is that the number 360 represents a circle or completion. One of my resolutions is to change my outlook on life including experiences and learning to take the time to appreciate each and every day. Therefore I think this project will assist me in taking the time each day to find one thing that either pushes me to do my very best in all things or makes me a little bit more appreciative of what I've been blessed with. This project is definitely going to be a challenge, but I think I'm up for it.

Well today is the beginning of my 360 project. So I decided to begin with a photo of the person behind the camera. I don't take self-portraits often because they're too time consuming trying to get it right, but I liked the way this one turned out.

 

This project is really intriguing. A lot of peeps on here are doing it.

 

Yeah it gives me a reason to pick my cam up everyday. Not to mention an excuse to buy more gear.

 

^amen to that!

 

nice Jon, glad you are doing this.

 

Thanks man I'm enjoying it.


Day 2/360

Another day on SL. It's been gloomy all day since it's supposed to snow over night. That's kept me inside, and on the computer, for most of the day so I had to get creative for day 2. This project is forcing me to put more thought into my photos and I love it!

Well it snowed overnight like they said it would. Only about a half inch--just enough to shut the city down so I'm not complaining. This is Delgado's first time seeing snow (8 months old). He seemed to enjoy it.

While I was taking pics of my car in the snow I noticed these footprints leading from the woods. I looked at them as being an example of what my project is all about--setting goals and reaching them by taking one step at a time.

Spring semester begins tomorrow! For once I'm actually exited about it lol. I want to buy another smaller body, probably a D50, so I can start taking my camera with me. With my school being downtown there's a lot to see which means a lot of material for my project.

 

Forgot to post in here yesterday...

Feeling a little nostalgic today lol. For some reason it feels like it's been more than 3 years since high school. Good times, good times.

In other news, I had a good first day of spring semester. I had English and Accounting today. Both of my professors seemed really cool. I hope tomorrow goes the same way.

 

I'm in for the daily update! awesome thread

 

Thanks man. Today's update coming as soon as I take it.

 

it's cool seeing the people behind their screen names.

 

^Lol I just had that convo the other day on Flickr.

Decided to play a little football with Delgado when I got home today being so nice out. He's destined for the pros. He juked me one time and I thought I was going to sprain my ankle lol.

 

I will enjoy this thread. I try to use my camera everyday, but some days i Just dont get to it. Looking forward to some of your subject matter.

 

Thanks man. Maybe when the weather warms up a bit and I get another body I'll be more inclined to walk around downtown.

 

When my new bag comes my camera will never leave my side.

 

A new bag is on my list as well. I'll probably get that first.

I used to collect these scale models as a kid. This is the last one I bought. I'm still a gear head though, just with a slightly larger car now.

I've been hunting for a set of wheels for a couple weeks now. I think I've finally made a decision after playing around in Photoshop. Stay tuned for pics in the coming weeks. ;)
