Another year, another project.
I'm in the middle of a 365 for my daughter, Ralena, where I take a photo of her, every day of her first year of life. I might just do that throughout her entire childhood, but who knows, I might be lazy. I might scale it back. I know she'll fight it when she gets older.
So anyway, why a 52? Well, it's a cake walk compared to a 365. Plus, I thought about doing it too late into the year. I like projects neatly within the frame of a year (couldn't make Ralena be born on Jan 1st). Plus, I like to document things. So this year, I'm photographing 52 people/things that are part of my life. I took the time a few nights ago to list these, and came up with about 35. That is enough to get me into Summer I assume. I'll find more as I go along.
I'm also committing to writing about each one. I like to blog. That is like 52 guaranteed blog entries I get to contribute this year. I think it will make an awesome book.
Sick my Myself
Also, why am I not doing SP's? Because I did 80 of them in 2008, 352 of them in 2009, and another 69 in 2010. That's 501 photos of myself. I'm tired of it. I may appear in a few, but taking photos of myself as part of a project, not this year, that's for sure. I did almost a full year, I don't feel like I'm lacking any type of achievement in my life without a perfect 365 (however, I'm a perfect 209 for 209 with Ralena thus far)
Video Video
However, I am going to try to record myself weekly on Video. I got a new SANYO HD 1080P mini handheld camcorder last year, and I hope to make the best of it. Not sure where I'm going to post them yet. Maybe as an unlisted YouTube video
