365 Too Much?

[katrinak]

So you've probably heard that some of us are on day 169 or so of our 365 challenge! Is everyday too much for you? Does it seem overwhelming?

How about trying a 7 day challenge! Yep, just 7 days. Join us in our flickr group. Post a photo a day for the next 7 days (6/21-6/28) and get a little taste of our fun!

You can get there with the big pink F at the bottom of the page! I hope you'll join in!

I initially thought it would be too much Katrina, and now I feel lost until I've documented my photo. It's become a very important part of my day, and not nearly as time consuming as I would have thought. My 365 pages have become my journal of sorts, and I only wish I would have started sooner.

For those who haven't tried, it's really no disaster if you miss a day. The point is to just document as often as you can. And like anything, the more you do it, the more it will become a habit! We'd love to have you!

I feel just like Myra does ... I missed a day this week, so I (cheated) and took a photo the next day of what I did the day before.

I love having the photos to remember what I was doing ... especially since I cannot remember what I ate for supper the night before last!

I am doing the 365 book here at DD ... but I am dreadfully behind. The POTD shots will make it much easier to catch up when I have time to scrap again!

I hope that some of you will join in Katrina's idea of just doing a shot a day for 7 days.

I love it too... I have cheated plenty of times... but I had the idea of the picture in my head... just didn't get around to it. I love that my family is going to be able to look back and see what were were up to on a particular day.

I am including so many photos that I would never make an entire page about =)

But, I think a seven day challenge would be fun too... especially for those who wanted to do the 365 but didn't start in time =)

I might jump in there and attempt 7 days. Surely I can manage that?!
Thanks for inspiring us, Katrina.

i should try seven days. I couldnt even finish a week at the beginning of the year. I am bad at this!

I've really missed posting every day! Since tomorrow is July 1, it sounds like a good time to start the flickr post again.

[katrinak]

It will be so good to see you over there again Deanie!

Thanks for starting this Katrina.

I do think July is a good time to start, right at the beginning of the 2nd half of the year. I wasn't ready to deal with this in Jan, but I agree that this is a good jump start.

Deciding on a template first was a good help to me in doing my travel pages, and I think I'll consider that now.

I've tried to take a few more photos, but I'm too busy to do one per day, and when I've made myself find something usually it looks crap! So I've just posted a few of the better ones. I definitely need a new lens, lightroom, and some more skill and time!! I hope it doesn't matter that I fall a long way short of a photo a day.

I like this. I was doing 365 and got behind so I felt like a failure and didn't go back. I'm glad to be re-inspired by this challenge.

Thanks!

[katrinak]

No failures! I don't post my crap ones Esther

and its all about the fun and improving your skills, no worries if you skip a day or a week or a month...we'll still love you!

We've missed you Michele, nice to see you post here!

[janedee]

I'm off to check this out - 7 days definitely sounds do-able!!

I love the 365 project! I don't post all of my photos to the DD group at Flickr, but I have taken a photo almost every day ( I have missed 2 so far). Some days my photos are terrible and I have try to pick the best among all of the bad ones, but some days they are great. I know that I have captured photos that I will cherish in the years to come and that my photography skills have really improved from the daily practice. So if you haven't started yet jump in for a week, the month, the rest of the year. I am certian you won't regret it!
