I make New Year's Resolutions every year, and this year is no exception. Resolutions for the past five years have faired pretty miserably, and by early February they are nothing more than a distant memory. My distinct lack of willpower is down to my choice of resolution - getting fitter, eating healthier etc - these both involve forgoing things I like.
This year, 2012, I'm breaking this trend and opting for a resolution which involves something I enjoy - photography. For the first 31 days of this year I'm going to take a photo everyday without exception. My aim is to be inspired by the everyday and ordinary, and to take this mentality and put it into practice for the rest of the year.
Lots and lots of people have done this before, for a week, for a month or for a year (
Project 365). The attraction for me is the chance to become a better photographer - more creative, more knowledgable about my camera, and better at composing shots.
So above is my
first photo taken on 1st January 2012.
Happy New Year!
