A 365 photography project is something that is very popular online, both among amateur photographers (like me) who are looking to improve their skills and record a year of memories, as well as professional photographers who want to step back and enjoy a personal photography project challenge.
This year I noticed that a great deal of my blogging friends are initiating their own 365 photography project, and I’m hoping to successfully do one myself. There are so many ways to do a 365, whether by theme, subject, style…anything. I’m not really sure how mine will evolve, but to start, I wanted to take lifestyle photographs of my sons to ring in the new year. Happy New Year!
January 1 – Little man recruits a Star Wars Angry Bird to help him with his homework (that’s Qui-Gon, using the force to help little man write his k’s)(and yes, his pre-k class was given homework over the holiday vacation).
January 2 – I was taking pictures of my sons, and after I uploaded them I couldn’t figure out why my son’s positioning looked so odd here, as though he were taking a selfie and was extending one arm around to face the camera at himself.
So I focused in on and enlarged the reflection in his eye and realized he was reaching out to try and grab the camera from me 🙂 You can even see me trying to pull back so he doesn’t get the camera…he loves it, and always wants to take pictures with my iPhone, so I think it won’t be too long before I have to buy a camera for him too!
Here’s to a Happy and Healthy 2014!
That is a pretty neat idea! I love the pictures. 🙂
Love how you figured out his position and yeah for help from Angry Birds!
Happy 2014! My 365 project pittered out in October. Grrrr…
I’m impressed you made it that far!
I love these projects but I know I could never keep up with it.
I just love this idea! Happy New Year!
They are the best subjects for a 365 project. 🙂
I love all your photos, but the last one is just beautiful. I’d love to do my own project 365. I think I’d do better at a project 52 — 1 photo a week. 🙂
My son is a reacher too – he knows when I’m taking photos or video and wants to come around next to me so he can see the screen and watch himself. 🙂
I can’t imagine a better photography subject. Too cute!
You son is ah-dorable. Love those huge brown eyes! and I see ya got a lefty there doing his homework.
How cute! I wish my son’s class had sent home homework, I’ve been trying to find my own online to give him so he doesn’t forget everything he’s learned. Happy New Year!
I’m doing this as well. I’m hoping it makes me a better photographer.
Great shots to kick off your project! They make functional and durable cameras especially for little ones, and thankfully they’re reasonably priced.
That is so neat that you were able to zoom in on his eye and see the reflection! Hope you’ll be sharing more of your photos throughout the year!
The eye photo is amazing and I’d so love to take photos like this one day.
That is an awesome photo, and a real testament to your clarity and focus.
I should be doing this to improve my photography skills. I get overwhelmed thinking about adding anything to my plate though. Some day though….
I can’t wait to see the pics. You photograph your boys so well.
This sounds like a fun project and you have a cute photography subject.
I wish I could keep up with these. I usually do good for the first month or so, but after than tend to get so busy I forget LOL
I’m going to have to try and join one of these sometime, I can’t even get through the monthly Instagram challenges though, once I can do that, I’m so there 😉 That’s too cute that it really looks like he’s taking a selfie in that picture!
That is so neat that you figured it out by looking at the reflection in his eye!
That is what my husband said!
I am not as ambitious as you to embark on any kind of 365 journey.
That is so cool – the picture with your reflection in the eye. Can’t wait to see what else you develop. 🙂
Love that you can see the reflection in his eye! Great shots.
omgosh the last photo is incredible I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before . luv all your pics
