Towards the end of last year, several of my friends and acquaintances announced their intention to participate in Project 365, which involves taking a photo every single day for a year.

I didn’t give a whole lot of thought to doing this myself until I took my last picture of 2009. It’s an unremarkable photo, but it says a lot to me personally, and as I snapped it I thought that having a year’s worth of photos like that could be quite interesting (to me, anyway).

With that in mind, I embarked on my own Project 365. I haven’t joined any groups, I’m not following any theme, I’m not trying to be artistic, and I’m not aiming to improve my photography. My sole purpose is to take an everyday picture every day so that by the end of the year, I have a collage of images which shows me at a glance what I did throughout the year.

Even though my days generally consist of sitting in front of a computer from morning until evening, I’ve managed to take just over two weeks’ worth of pictures without too much hardship and without resorting to repeatedly taking photographs of my desk (though I have done that). Things may get more interesting once we start moving, and in March I’ll be taking off for a jaunt around the USA (more on that later) which will undoubtedly generate some interesting photo ops. Until then I’ll happily keep snapping photos of the mundane.
