Well folks, I can't remember who mentioned this, but the idea is to take one photo a day every day this year and have a flickr (or such like) collection.

I've started mine but to be honest it isnt that interesting a mere 2 days in to 2009. However, although it may be deadly dull for others, I think it would make quite a nice momento to look back on and see all the things I've done.

I know it's Jan 2nd but I guess you dont have to go 1st jan - 1st jan, just do 365 days, or switch to the gregorian calendar or such like.

Anyone else up for this??

I should really get around to doing something like this - not quite managed to get myself sorted out yet this year (desktop PC needs set up, and need to find Lightroom to install back on the laptop too).

Probably just start trying to do that with ma blog like.

My own take on this is that Any photo counts - Digi SLR, Compact, Cameraphone, Film, Plate Camera, Pinhole - even at a push X-Rays (could be a useful way to fill an otherwise photo-free day) 🙂

My year so far and I have to admit there is a lot of scope for things to get a tad more exciting really, if I am honest.

Did you know that the Dutch word for whipped cream is "slagroom"?

Amazing - 3 people already! Well this will be a bit of a slow burner I feel - sure there will be quiet periods but i am sure there will be times in the year when the photos and stories get really interesting. We shall see huh?

Well that's today's photo done via blackberry camera. I will have to really think after just a few weeks as to how to vary the pics each day!

Oh and 7 members so we are really motoring.

Maybe some STW fat club members could join and post a photo a week say of their leaner meaner bodies : 0

Mine's done and posted up for the day.

I'm finding it a nice distraction during the working day today to think about "the" shot.

Glad I joined up now.....

I have to ask - Simon, why do you like taking photos of your self so much?
(I pissed myself at your Flickr photo-a-day page!)

He can look in a mirror to see that. Why the photos though?
