Project 365 (Minus X)

So I set out to do a Photo Project 365 in year 2012.  I did good the first day, the next day, the third day, then I skipped a day, and later more days....

* Sigh* Easier said than done.  Like so many things in life, it takes time; it takes thinking, and it takes dedication.

Although I'm kind of disappointed with myself, I'm not going to beat myself up for failing.  Yes, I can be more self-disciplined, but I also want to do this as way to explore, to observe and not as a chore.   I don't want it to become a daily task where I have to mechanically shoot a photo everyday - for 365 days.

WHAT DO I SEE?  I do need to open my inner eyes more. There is beauty in everything around us.  I think the most important thing with this project is to discover through my eyes, my heart and to capture with my camera lens.

I'm no way near there (yet).  I do want to become more sensitive to what's in my life.  Whether this is a complete 365 or not, I hope to be able to tell myself at year end that I have accomplished what I set out to do and that's to develop a greater appreciation for the daily happenings in life.
