grid::blog | Project 365 - One month, approximately 340 photographs to go...

Thirty-one days after starting my part for “grid::blog | Project 365,” I can look back on a month of a majority of good photographs. Yeah, there are some duds — some real throw-aways in fact — but that’s what this is all about. I’ve got 365 days to take as many pictures as it takes to post something that I can look back on and be proud of. So far, I am pretty proud.

This project has turned out to be a lot harder than I anticipated too. Ideas become difficult when most of my time during the week is spent sitting in front of a computer. My office doesn’t even have any windows. When I drive to work, it’s dark. When I drive home it’s getting dark. So, one month into the project and I’m already finding difficulty.

One thing that has made my job a little easier is Photo Friday. Each Friday, they assign a new theme to photograph. This week, it’s “Emptiness.” Having an assigned theme once a week — something that takes the burdon off of my shoulders (even if for only a day) — has been really fun. The added motivation of people voting for their favorte photos has been added incentive as well. That being said, go vote for my photographs!

Now a new month is beginning and it’s time to think of some other subjects to shoot. Don’t forget the other members of the grid::blog. They’ve been taking some awesome pictures. I could never discount Jordon‘s and Richard‘s photographs as being true inspiration for my picture taking as well — it’s kind of neat to witness similar themes floating in and out of each of our Photoblogs.
