365 Podcast Episode1

Just another way to share. Despite not being able to actually engage in the conversation, I was pretty drawn in. This is my first year doing a 365 project, and as you all mentioned, I was introduced to the idea through Twitter.

For me, like Dean said, it’s a way to tell a story; a way to remember that day. I have began to look at it as my journal. I take pictures of everything around me. It’s not just about my family, or just about school, or whatever, it’s about my life and everything that is a part of it. Heck, I’ve even taken a picture of TweetDeck, not a screencast, an actual picture. It’s a compulsion, as Alan eluded to; I can’t help myself. I’m not taking nearly as many pictures as you all do. I try to get 5-10, at least, each day. Other days I scramble. My life just isn’t that exciting all the time–but I do look forward to being able to look back at it and remember each of those individual days.

I have to say that I wouldn’t be doing this if I had to use an actual camera everyday. My phone makes it easy and convenient. I have an EVO and the camera does quite well. I like to use different apps for different effects. I’m a major hack-photog, but then again, I’m not taking these pictures for all to adore. I’m actually surprised that people, on Flickr, have actually left a comment or two.

I’m not sure I’d have any stunning insight to any of this, but I’d love to give a noobs perspective if you ever do another podcast on the 365 projects. See you February Dean.
