SubscribeGood buddy Paul and I have decided that life is going to blow past us if we don’t take matters into our own hands. So, we’re going to be taking one picture (at least) per day for the next year, and probably beyond. So that means Halloween of 2008 will be the finish line. The goal is that this will help us remember all the little things that we might otherwise forget.
While Paul is just going to start dragging his camera everywhere, I’ve decided to go with my cellphone as the primary weapon of choice. If I was only to use my camera I would probably fall off the wagon, unfortunately. This is also going to be a good way for me to start getting back into using my Flickr account; who knows, I might even upgrade to pro. So I’ve got it all set. Flickr’s email address is in my phone, the flash badge is on the site, set only to display pictures tagged from my phone (hence the small number of pictures right now). I might supplement this year-long project with photos from my real camera if the event is important enough, but for the most part just expect me to start sending some snapshots from my phone to the site.
The quality isn’t really that bad either I have to say. It’s only 2.0 MP, but that’s still not too shabby. And no risk of shirking my duty, since I always have my phone on me. Hey, grainy pictures are better than no pictures, I suppose.

/ 01 November 2007me and julie have the same goal of documenting our lives. but more so in text than photos. we’re starting with nablopomo.
Sandy
/ 03 November 2007I think I’m going to have to get in on this photo action too. I always complain that I have no memories to look back on!
Herbert
/ 03 November 2007Ohhh that sounds like fun.
Paul
/ 03 November 2007The more the merrier!
Herbert
/ 04 November 2007I got it working on my phone. Hopefully it doesn’t cost money for me
Naim
/ 05 November 2007Cool! For me with Verizon they go under “out of network pix messages” which I have 500 of a month. You should see about setting up something similar with your provider.
Herbert
/ 06 November 2007Well i technically have unlimited text and picture messages, in and out of the network.
Jason
/ 06 November 2007That’s a cool idea, reminds me that I need to get back to using my very neglected camera
Jenn
/ 08 November 2007like the 365x project? something along those lines…
so far on documentation of my life, i write down in a log what restaurant I went to and with whom. then always taking my camera EVERYWHERE.
how about those photolog days!
Naim
/ 08 November 2007Yeah those were good times, haha.
It’s like that project. I’m finding it a bit tough to take a picture of something real interesting each day though, since each day I am at work, at my desk. Pretty much all day.
Sandy
/ 09 November 2007Maybe you could do a timelapse thing, take a photo of the same thing every day.
Paul
/ 14 November 2007Now there’s an idea.
stacee
/ 20 November 2007like the people who take a picture of their face every day, then morph it into a movie.
