Photo 52 Project for 2013

Idiot's Guide to PhotographyThe new year is on the horizon and what better way to celebrate than by starting an unrealistic project I will never actually complete! For those who are unaware, a photo 52 project is when someone who want to be creative but like to procrastinate sets a goal of taking one picture a week and publishing it somewhere. In my case, my dusty blog will be my medium.

Here are the things that will most likely cause this project to fail:

  1. I an not good the whole “consistency” thing.
  2. I tire of my projects easily.
  3. I do not own a decent digital camera. (I will have to borrow from my brother)
  4. I am unorganized.
  5. I lead a boring, uneventful life.

Here are the things that will most likely cause this project to succeed:

  1. I got a wild hair about it.

I know if I don’t setup some sort of structure now I will make it up as I go along and that is a very bad thing.

Rules:

  1. A “week” will start on Tuesday and end on Monday. The 1st of the year is on a Tuesday.
  2. All photos must be published by the following Friday.
  3. All published photos must be taken within the week stated.
  4. All photos must be given a title.
  5. Exactly 52 individual photos must be published. No more, no less.
  6. I must take and produce each photo myself.

Hopefully, I will create a photo blog that I or people who know me can look at long from now and see how one year in my life went. I hope I make it through all right.

By the way, I am totally and unashamedly stealing this idea from my good friend, Nick Overstreet.
