Back in 2012 I embarked on a journey that has changed the way I live,\u00a0forever<\/em>, for the better.<\/p>\n

I originally began a \u201cphoto 365\u201d project years ago (beginning of 2012), as a way to force my self to go take pictures each day with my new DSLR.<\/p>\n

Very quickly, the project became a lifestyle, and morphed from \u201clet\u2019s go take a nice picture with my nice new camera\u201d<\/em> into \u201clet\u2019s just take many photos each day, and go back and select the most representative photo for that day\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Basically, I discovered photo journaling, and this has become my new way of living.<\/p>\n

Early on, I had to set a calendar reminder for each day, so I didn\u2019t forget to take a picture that day. It didn\u2019t take long for that to become a habit, in which, everyday I am\u00a0instinctively thinking about making sure I take a photo sometime that day.<\/p>\n

A rhythm and definition of my photo-365 projects evolved: I now intentionally\u00a0take many pictures each day, and go back select the one (or sometimes make a collage) that best represent that day.<\/p>\n

\"an<\/p>\n

Since my requirement is that the photo\u00a0has<\/em> to be taken on that day<\/em>, I run into interesting issues sometimes. Some days, I have so many pictures to share that I can\u2019t choose, while other\u00a0days I\u2019m not to proud of what I post (usually it\u2019s boring). Nevertheless, it\u2019s best to not distort history and more importantly, this rule actually inspires me to be more aware of how I spend my days.<\/p>\n

I truly intend on doing this the rest of my life.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I encourage everyone to try doing this for a year. It\u2019s really fun to look back though albums of each year and re-live your life.<\/p>\n

P.S.: The reason for this post now, is that I’ve just migrated all my previous daily photos (2012-2015) from google plus to my own website:<\/p>\n

I’ve also made video slideshows<\/a>\u00a0of each year too…<\/p>\n
