How to take one picture a day as a way to document my life by linse

"I finished my 365 Project, in which I took one self portrait a day for one year."

How I did it: I started in February 2008, when I joined the flickr group "365". I then took a photo every day.
As a reward, I wanted to get a DSLR after the completion of this goal.

It is much more than just taking a photo every day. You have to face the world, which can get quite hard on some days.

Lessons & tips: Form or join a group to motivate yourself.

Find your own style - maybe plain portraits, or "telling stories" or both. Use the group's challenges from the discussion section if you run out of ideas for photos.

Upload more regularly than I did. :-D

Resources: I used mainly two cameras, a Panasonic Lumix LX2 and after christmas a Nikon d300. Besides, some photos were taken with my Holga, a mobile phone or with borrowed cameras from friends. Just get creative.

This flickr group also helped a lot:

Fascinating! I love this idea, what a great way to have insight in your life. How tough it must be somedays to have the “right” picture too….
