An update on my 366 Project.
In a previous post I outlined my new year’s resolution for 2012 which is to undertake a 366 photography project. The idea behind a 366 project is to take a photo a day for a whole year. To host the images I set up a blog which I called:
The reason for such a long name was because I didn't realise until quite late in December 2011 that 2012 was in fact going to be a leap year! Hence the reason for the quick fix that was the post it note on the banner!
In a previous post I outlined my new year’s resolution for 2012 which is to undertake a 366 photography project. The idea behind a 366 project is to take a photo a day for a whole year. To host the images I set up a blog which I called:

| 365 FRAMES A YEAR, or 366 because 2012 is a leap year |
The reason for such a long name was because I didn't realise until quite late in December 2011 that 2012 was in fact going to be a leap year! Hence the reason for the quick fix that was the post it note on the banner!
As I envision creating a video montage from my
366 photos when the year is through my thinking behind the initial name was
for it be reminiscent of the technical term twenty four frames a second, which refers to how many still images are recorded in a second of film.
However, when I found out 2012 twelve was going to be a leap I couldn’t change the
name to 366 FRAMES A YEAR because not every year has 366 days, and 366 FRAMES
THIS YEAR didn’t sound quite right, so I resorted to the use of the post
it note.
However, after much dissatisfaction and thought I have come
finaly up with new and much more fitting name:
 |
| 366 FRAMES 2012 |
This name I prefer because it contains an element of the
original while basically explaining what the project is without having to
resort to it just being called a 366 project. But the best thing of all – it’s
short!
The change, however, hasn’t impinged upon my progress with
the project; I’m still taking a photo a day, I haven't missed a day and I still have four main aims for the project:
- To produce a collage of my 366 photos from 2012 which I will then have put on a canvas.
- To produce a video montage of my 366 photos from 2012. However, I want to be quite creative with this, so that it is not just a slideshow of 366 photos.
- To improve my photographic skills.
- To make me more selective towards my subject matter and change the way I perceive the world.
In addition to posting the images on Flickr, Google+, Chime.in and Pinterest but the central place will always be the blog:
