ok so my daughter and I started our project on 1st March 2011 so do we finish on 28th February (365) and leave a day between our start and end dates (the 29th) or finish on the 29th (366)?? I'm sure this has probably been asked before but i haven't seen it. Does anyone know if it is counted as a 366 year for the project.....i hope this makes sense???
I reckon you should stick to the 28th feb, since it's the '365' project not 'one year' project ;) but of course that's debatable! And in the end it's your project, not anybody else's. Maybe we should ask Ross??
@izzymathie thanx Izzy, i have just thought that we will actually have a blank space on our february calender if we don't do 366, don't know if i could live with that, lol! It's all too hard!!
I don't think it matters!! It's however you decide to do it. I started my project on January 1 and I plan to do one year of photos. And this year has 366 days in it. So mine is a 366 project. Unless I forget a day! LOL!!
@michaelelliott That's my daughters opinion on it too Michael, I do intend to continue so i suppose i could just make the 29th my first new year? Geez i don't like making decisions! My plans are to continue but maybe not every single day....although it could take me a while to cut back on postings! Love this far too much to leave now:)
@jenp Thanks Jennifer, see what i mean though, everyone has a valid point and i think i'm confusing myself more!! i was thinking exactly the same as you......may have to toss a coin!? Will have to go and sleep on this one, thanks for your help:)
@trude - Very glad to hear that Trude! Feel like i'm losing friends left and right these days. I think when my time comes I would do one of those "semi-retired" but post a few pics per week type of deals. This way time of other things and not that daily pressure to post.
I'm going to do a 366 year too, I finish towards the end of April. I reckoned it could be an excuse to do two celebration shots, one for 365 and one for 366!
And February 29 is an ordinary working day - no extras to enjoy here
I would think the 29th would be your last day for year 1. You start on year 2 on the 1st. Your first year just happens to have an extra day, while those of us who are past the first year will have whatever year we're working on have 366. Or you can decide to take the day off. ;-)
Being in the second year, I am more interested in the total number of shots I've taken and looking back. Milestones like one month, 100, six months, 200, 300, one year, 400, 500, etc. become little celebrations. If I had to celebrate only once a year, that would be a bit boring.
And why stop at a year! I'm patiently waiting for the 5 and 10 year mark but I'll need a new camera by then. It becomes a routine for sure.

Personally, if I'd started on 1/3/11 I would probably upload a 29/2/12 photo, but that's just me.
