99 more to go

Day 266

My 365 Project is still going. Got 99 more days left. Which gives me a huge sense of achievement.

The project had two effects:

• First : I think daily of photography, carry my camera everywhere (most of the time that is) see great snapping objectives all the time. Due to that I have pushed myself technically more, than I probably would have without it. - Should mention however, I am a complete amateur still and takes photos completely from my feeling and seeing, unlike many photographers I admire. They actually can use technique and merge the two into an amazing piece of art. - And I love it possibly more than when I started!

• Second: I am feeling a bit devoid of inspirations. At times I take photos because I must not because I am inspired by something. So now I feel I somehow depleted my immediate surrounds... and that my photos all look a bit the same. Meaning I tend to photograph the same things over and over - and they are now accumulating. I noticed it last week and was considering to stop the project for a few weeks. But after contemplating I decided I shall try and finish it. However I can't see myself doing another year.

Realising that I am nearly three quarters in, gave me another boost, and I am now more positive about it. I will finish the project!
And to remedy the second , I will just have to go on a trip somewhere.... ( what a pity ;) )

Have you done a 365 Project? What are your experiences?

New beginnings

This was meant to be posted yesterday, but it was our wedding anniversary, so I went with O to Greyton instead. One day earlier or later doesn't really matter -right?
Yesterday was also the date I chose for my 365 project. I will post my daily photos over at the Viewing Glass. Honestly despite the fact that I have promised myself to manage 365 photos...I already have some doubts- let's see, I will take it one day at the time ;)
Having decided last months that the 24th is the date of my Enchanted Garden theme to change, that also happened yesterday.
I found it a bit difficult to chose this month theme. I love February/March in Cape Town, but I couldn't put my finger on what plants really stand out in these months! So after a lot of back and forth I settled for Desert Bloom. A celebration of all things succulent! (they are amazing all year round)

More about the Enchanted Garden Project and Greyton in next few days.... I am off to bed now

good night!
