Who are you here because of? And who is here because of you?

January 7th, 2011
Who inspired you to start this? Are they still taking photos for their 365? Have you inspired anyone else to start this year long adventure with photography?


I'm here because of @girlincamo. Here's my favorite pic of hers :)




and looks like I've inspired other people to do it too!! I think that's just because I torture and torment and force my pics down their throat. And make them be my models too. hahaa

First, @kellyhaysley



Then, @jebika



And @pink123



And @seaca



And now @hailey_rae44




I love 365. :)
I hope you follow all of these girls!! they are worth it!
Feel free to post all your favorite pics of your inspirers and inspirees as well!

I'd heard about the 365 randomly i think, online or in a magazine or something. and the only person ive convinced to join has stopped because his laptop crashed. not doing too well haha :(

nice idea for a discussion :)
January 7th, 2011

My sister @quantumpoet


And my cousin @Karategirl

Cool thread! One of my Facebook friends hipped me to Project 365 but she doesn't post here. I was able to drag these folks along:

@msnikkie809, my scrapbooking buddy:



my friend and coworker @rlewis498:



and @dkleilani who takes the funniest roadside pics ever:

January 7th, 2011
I also randomly came across the idea, and have Google to thank for assistance.... I encouraged a friend from work to get on board and we started the same day @timtam_adams
I think he totally rocked his first, brave attempt into the world of selfies...

January 7th, 2011
I happened upon this site while trying to decide the best place to upload my 365 photos. I have brought a couple friends over....

@nikkidee


@angiegm


January 7th, 2011

January 7th, 2011
I'm here because of my friend Brandy @notsoaverage: .....And after a year and a few days, we're both still here!

January 7th, 2011


I'm here because of Ttiffany Tregenza @tiggymooshoo. I saw this photo one day on twitter and signed straight up . . .



. . . and this photo has some special meanings to us . . .

January 7th, 2011
I read about 365 on a random message board at the Art Institute Online campus. I brought @atalitude with me :)

January 7th, 2011
I found the project through Google and convinced my sister @browndog to do it with me.
January 7th, 2011
I heard about the project a few years ago, saw someone on facebook doing it, and decided to start my own. My sister and I started on the same day.

@ericaleigh017


I also inspired another friend and one of her friends to start one, but sadly neither of them are on this site.
January 7th, 2011
Either my mother or my sister posted the site to facebook a little over a year ago, and I decided to join. This year, several of my friends have joined. Here's my favorite of my freinds' posts:

January 7th, 2011
I started this project after following my friend Jessica Gates' (jessa610) 365 updates on facebook. It was just the boost I needed to start this project...i had wanted to do one a few years ago and never started. Unfortunately with starting back in school and stuff Jessica is not currently posting, but her album is still here, and this is one of my faves of hers
January 7th, 2011
I started because of my friend Chris, who did a photo a day from April 2003 to March 2007. (around 1400 days) I started in September 2004, am still going. I know of at least 21 people who have attempted a photo-a-day because of me. Almost half of them kept it up for at least a year. A few are on their 3rd or 4th year.
January 7th, 2011
I got this site from my friend Meiska when I saw her pictures on Facebook:


and then I brought my friend Heather:


and my friend Neda:


my Sister In Law, Rox, is here as well and she was already doing her 365 because of our friend Meiska but I wanted to put one of her pictures up anyway:
January 7th, 2011
I'm here first because of @silverdraggin

then when I began to slack @buggus pestered me until I picked up again

and then @bbumble21 saw a post of mine on facebook and was inspired to do her own project!
January 7th, 2011
I have a friend on Facebook who started a '366 Project' (one shot a day and something extra) which I thought was so fun, so I Googled it to see if there was a site and found 365 :) she says she still takes photos but has stopped uploading them.

Umm, Jeremy, Bev, Micah, Shenay, Kyle... my highschool art teacher (but she doesn't post here; she posts them on her blog) and two people I went to highschool with started up here but stopped early on.

I've been the man with the camera in our house. I've bought gradually bigger and better ones, joined flickR and bought photoshop, but ultimatley done nothing substansive with them.
I joined and failed a couple of 365 groups on FlickR on more than one occasion.
Then my wife bought a crossover camera, begun to snap away and took some really nice shots whilst she was at it.
It was her that joined the 365 here and told me about it and seeing as I have a strong male gene (which shows it's self with bouts of child like competitiveness) I joined too and feel that because the wife will be better at keeping this up, then so will I, lol.
She knew what she was getting into when she married me and we hit 12 years this year. She is very a very tolerant person indeed.

I re-read my bio and it still holds true (if you're interested go take a look; I won't bore you here). Googling 365 brought me here. I was also hoping to draw some inspiration as well, to try new things. Turns out that is true - it's already been amazing to look at people's images, dream about them....and really reconsider how to reframe my view of the world! Better than I ever had expected. Thanks so much!!
January 7th, 2011
I'm here because of @Yoori. I saw her pictures on facebook, and thought she just marked them on the net like everybody else. Little did I know that these photographic gems were actually taken by her. She has an eye for beauty in everyday scenes. I wish I had her perception, just for one day.
January 7th, 2011
I am here because of my friend Jason Vare aka Shagpile (or as i call him Shaggydoo) He convinced me to start the project and then he got too busy to continue, which is pretty much the story of his life lol He's a busy musician. This is my fav photo that he uploaded


And I convinced my sister to join the project @emer . I love this shot she took
January 7th, 2011
a couple of girls from work started and posted on facebook - I first looked into it for my hubby as he has a fledgling interest in photography and I thought it would be a good way to get him started. He still hasn't joined or got his camera yet, but I decided to play around with a point and shot model and see where I got with it before I upgraded. Have brought one person over but am about to go do some peer pressure on a few others that I think will really enjoy it
January 7th, 2011
I am here thanks to @foursides Thanks Jen, I am way addicted and having way too much fun. ( looking at all these beautiful photographs has taking the place of facebook,,lol)
January 7th, 2011
My Friend, Danielle Schueller, told me about it.
@lvmychunkalunka



So far, my brother Bob Hettinger has joined, because of me.
@rbobh69

January 7th, 2011
I heard of this site through my friend Sheri Peterson @sheripeterson This is one of my favorite photos of hers and it's one of her very firsts! She's only gotten better and better!




I wanted something for 2011 that was special so hopefully I make it through the year!
January 7th, 2011
@mrjuggles LOL that is hilarious. I love that photo she did. ;)
January 7th, 2011
@chelmck that street sign pic is HILAROIUS
January 7th, 2011
@emsabh I totally agree about how great 365 is!
January 7th, 2011
@serafin @Yoori totally inspires me, I completely agree, I was lucky to have her follow me on here.
January 7th, 2011
These are such great photos!!! So many people I didn't know yet! I'm so excited to get to follow all these wonderful photographers.
January 7th, 2011
I am here because of Kelly T. Haysley @kellyhaysley . . . Our boys went to preschool together and play TOPS Sports together . . . her work is beautiful, and she's in the Top 5 for theme-silhouette and Top 20 with this one which Amy already featured, but it deserves another viewing!



My friend Jessica Wiedersatz @jessw26 joined at my urging, and then she got Jennifer Adams @jennmom5 to join, she got Kelley Myers @kelmomof3boys to join . . . and so on.

I have gotten my tremendously talented friend Courtney @baxter to join, but so far she's only set up her account . . . she is worth a follow when she starts downloading, her eye is amazing!

So much fun here . . . I encourage everyone to join!!!!!
January 7th, 2011
@amyhughes @serafin ... you guys are so sweet! I just love 365 - AMAZING shots everywhere and with so kind and beautiful people behind!

@amyhughes your shots always stun me with their beauty, I just love the feel that you portrait!

My colleague Lorayne told me about this site, here is a recent shot I really like of her threat (and that's not purely because of the Hello Kitty blanket, hehe!)



I got Serafin and Adrian to join who are still doing it. Though @serafin - I have been looking out for your new shots!

@serafin


@adrian_aachen
January 7th, 2011
@angiegm I found that to be the same!
January 7th, 2011
My friend @Stacy Pace mentioned this project, after looking at the amazing photos she's taken, i decided to jump onboard and start growing my mind's eye via digital photography. I aspire to be as creative as she is one day... thanks Stacy!!!

January 7th, 2011
I'm here because of my sister-in-law, Mariëtte de Jong @mariettedejong
And because I was so enthousiastic two of my friens started; Anne_w @annewieke
And Petra @petra (These are my hands!)
I found here other of my old, real life, friends and made new, virtual friends, so I'm thankfull to Mariëtte!
January 7th, 2011
I'm not here because of anyone. I was wanting to do a 365 project for a long time, but was too lazy to host it myself, and I stumbled across this site somehow on a google search (I think I was searching for people who have done a 365 entirely with a Holga).

I got @dennyshunk on here, though!
January 7th, 2011
I am here because of Jill

But I do not know of anyone who is here because of me yet!
January 7th, 2011
@canberrabec Awwwwwww..... you're so lovely!
January 7th, 2011
I'm here because my Hubby had a few (failed) attempts at doing it on Flickr over the years...oh hang on..... what @mrjuggles says but in reverse ; P

I Googled 365 as I was pondering a couple of days before new year ensuring I capture our new life (we have just moved to the most beautiful place and living the dream) and keep up the photos I have been taking to improve, develop and learn how to work my camera better.

I linked to here in my blog & on a parent forum I am part of so I know a few members joined because of those.
January 8th, 2011
Girlincamo and I started on the same day, us and Michelle, Here are my favorites of theirs, there are three more people that joined after me, dakotakid35 and txgirl and ogormansnaps



January 8th, 2011
I found my way to 365 because my friend @etiep posted a link on her FaceBook each time she uploaded, took me a year but I finally decided to give it a try. I should also mention that this project has helped me get past a year & a half long artistic slump, thank goodness cause it feels GREAT to be shooting again :-)

@amyhughes you have some amazing captures....
January 8th, 2011
I'm here because of my dear friend, Cindy Gold, an incredibly talented photographer who isn't doing her project at this point (it was all on FB) - hopefully she will again. This project has turned my whole life around, slowed me down, inspired me, and opened my eyes in so many ways. Much gratitude.

I have brought my friend Robin Warner and actually quite a few others (sister, niece, nephew, several friends) but only Robin has been totally committed....

I'm here because of my daughter @aprilrss
January 10th, 2011
I came here because of someone I don't know very well. We're friends on facebook and I saw her uploads and really wanted to start my own project. It took a couple months to finally jump aboard. since then, my little sister has started one:

I just happened to stumble on this through a scrapbooking website. Love it, though.
January 10th, 2011
I actually was doing a search on my Ipod for sites to inspire the 365 photo project and I was using swagbucks.com to do my search. If I remember right I got 12 swagbucks for that search. :D

I decided then I was gonna take on the challenge and use this site. :D
