Snapping Dreams

If you are into photography, you’ve almost certainly heard of Project 365, or 365 Self Portraits or 365 something. The main idea is to take a picture every day for the whole year – hence the name 365 something.

If you’ve never heard of it before, here are some sites that you might want to check out:

• Flickr group 1, Flickr group 2, Flickr group 3 , and many more

• Tips for shooting one photo a day for 365 days
• Can the Project 365 iPhone app make you a better photographer? (Link to app here)

I’ve always respected the people who did 365 projects. It takes a great deal of dedication to photography to commit to such a project. Not only does one have to be disciplined enough to come up with photos every day, but to challenge oneself to come up with a better photo everyday is definitely not an easy task. And to really hang on to it till the end, how many can really do so?

It might sound very easy. But being a photographer myself, I understand it’s not easy at all especially when you seek perfection and improvement in your photos.

I doubt I would start a 365 project anytime soon. I lack the discipline. Really. BUT, thanks to my brother, I’ve decided to start 52 Breakfasts. I’ll be posting weekly photos of my breakfasts starting today. Thought it’d be a good way to make sure I have proper breakfasts at least once a week. :p

Here’s my first post! Bon Appetit!
