Last year I started off strong with a commitment to a Project 365 of food where I photographed something edible or drinkable that ate or saw each day. Well, almost each day. I went strong through July, dwindled, tried to pick it back up in October, and then gave up completely.
Despite my inability to finish the full project last year I am trying once again in 2011. It’s fun to look back and see what I’ve eaten and more importantly it forces me to practice with my camera.
Not that I don’t want to practice, but knowing I need to take a food shot forces me to make time. I often let other things get in the way even though I’d rather have my camera in hand. It also allows me to do a bit of a post recap for the month which I hope is fun for you.
I’m not expecting to get a shot every single day, but with 22 photos I didn’t do so badly this past January. It will be easier and easier as the days get longer and the fresh foods get more plentiful.
So here you have the January 2011 recap!
That’s a great idea. Not only will it help keep us accountable, but it’s fun to explore what we’re eating and not eating. Good luck with the project in ’11!
Looks like your January was filled with fantastic foods! Sounds like a fun project you’re doing…and I agree, photo taking gets much easier as the fresh produce comes in and the days get longer!
Good for you giving it another go.
Such a lovely idea, and your photographs are beautiful (as always!). I really like that we get a roundup of your recipes, too! You’ll be doing this every month, I hope?
