Project 365 - 2012 Edition

Welcome to my second time doing Project 365. (Wait, 2012 is a Leap Year; maybe that should be Project 366?) I never did recap my experience with it last time, and it's been 3 years now. Obviously, though, if I'm willing to do it again, it can't have been too bad. I learned how to do all sorts of nifty things with my camera last time, and using it became nearly second nature. I'm on my 3rd new (or borrowed) camera since then, and I miss having that level of knowledge and control. Plus, as of Thanksgiving 2011, I now have a hand-me-down DSLR (thanks, Dad!), and I really need to learn to use it. No time like the present, so off we go! Hope you enjoy.

I can't believe I am doing this!

Okay, I have secretly decided to start Project 365, and how better to keep a secret than to start a blog, right? LOL I did actually start the project Jan 1, I just didn't get around to starting a blog (or typing this post) until Jan 5.

I would also like to thank Katie the Scrapbook Lady for her words of wisdom on the project, otherwise I would probably give up the first time I miss a photo (and I know I will). But she's right, there is no Project 365 Police, no one is going to care if I miss a day here or there. So instead of throwing in the towel, I will just take a make-up shot or use a good picture from a previous day, and I will try to do better going forward. And yes, I did back date this post to January 1, 2009, just so it appears in the "right place" in the log. I won't necessarily be downloading and uploading the photos I take every day, but they will be date adjusted to the date they were taken (or to the date that they are filling in for).

Hope you enjoy this journey with me, whenever I decide to make it public.
