Hello New People! ...Come and introduce yourselves!

December 31st, 2011
Hey :]

So... I reckon we could be getting a fair amount of new people to the site in the next day or so. I remember when I signed up a few years ago it took me a while to get to grips with everything.

So basically, this thread is to say hi to all the new people, we don't bite (well...most of us don't, anyway...), and we're not scary! Come and introduce yourself to us! Who are you? Which corner of the world are you from? Why did you decide to join up?

Also, if you have any questions, however stupid they may seem, feel free to ask them here, most of us have probably asked them before at some point... :p

Happy snapping!
Naomi.

@naomi Hi Naomi, this is my second day on the site. I joined because I wanted a challenge and to sharpen/hone my skills. I would also like to learn more about photography, composition and techniques. I'm from San Diego, California. I hope to meet new people and establish connections through this site. :)

December 31st, 2011
I was wondering if there was an intro thread. :)
My name is Ang, I'm from New South Wales, Australia & love summer! I'm a 28y.o. married, stay-at-home-mum, with a gorgeous 2y.o. daughter & another due in May.
I wanted to give myself a project or challenge, that I could record, share & learn from. I have owned a 450D for 3.5 yrs, but have not committed to getting the most out of it. (More in my profile.)

Looking forward to sharing our journies together - happy new year everyone!
December 31st, 2011
Hi! My name is Jacki and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I'm excited to start this challenge after thinking about it for a couple of years! I have been a bit slack on my photo taking lately so can't wait to get back into it!!

Bring on 2012!
December 31st, 2011
Great idea @naomi, I recently joined and it is a bit overwhelming at first and I admit I'm stilll getting to grips with some things! I'm from Lincolnshire in the North East of England and wanted to try to improve my 'eye' and get a bit more creative with my photography. I just started a BTEC in digital photography too and also want to improve my technical skills. I've found being on this project so inspiring so far and the people have been helpful and lovely.

One question I did have was how do you see all mentions of you that people have made? Say, if I commented on someones photo and they replied, do I have to keep checking back to see if they replied or is there a quick way to see all your mentions?

Thanks, and hope all the new starters get the inspiration they're after. Welcome! :)
December 31st, 2011
@marketingheart hi Laura. See the top bar you have 'you' 'upload' etc? At the end is a little speech bubble, this turns black when you have a notification. Click on it and you'll see replies on your photos, discussions etc. Hope this helps. Welcome to the project :)
December 31st, 2011
PS you wil only get notifications if the person commenting has added @marketingheart to their reply (unless its on your own project page or on a discussion you have started).
December 31st, 2011
Hi I'm Kelly and I'm from Frankston, one hour south of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I just purchased a Canon 1100D yesterday because I needed something creative visually to work on. My husband left me the week before Christmas in 2010 and I'm just getting back on my feet so besides songwriting, singing, recording and dancing I needed a different challenge. In one sense I'm looking at the 365 challenge as a visual journal of things I'm grateful for and I think using the visual images will also help with my songwriting.

Now I've used a Canon 450D in the past before the ex took it with him but generally speaking I'm a beginner to the various functions on a camera. This is my opportunity to ..... play.

Nice to meet everyone.

We had something like 10,000 new accounts at this time last year, so yeah, could be a bit of an influx...
December 31st, 2011
I've been here two weeks and am still navigating around.. I appologise if i have
missed or not replyed to anyone as yet..... I'm getting there.. :)
As others have said, I joined the project because i needed a bit of a challenge.........and i think i have one!!! There seems to be some really nice people on here...and i know i am going to enjoy it....
A very Happy New Year to All...................................................................
I am from Quinns Rocks..Western Australia..My camera is a Nikon D300 with various lenses..and a Nikon P7000 P&S....
December 31st, 2011
Hi there everyone. My names Kenny, living here in sunny Scotland. I signed up today, but will start posting tomorrow.
Had my Canon 450D for just over a year now, and although i use if fairly regularly i want to try harder in 2012 and use it a lot more, learning as i go.
Hoping to meet new friends, and get too know you as the year goes on.

Thanks
Kenny
December 31st, 2011
Hi everybody, I joined this site on January 1st last year and I have never regretted it. By posting here, commenting on photos and taking part in discussions I have learnt so much. Good luck to you all and I'll look forward to seeing your photos as you work your way through the year :)

Karen
December 31st, 2011
Hello, everyone! :)

I think your assumption is right, Naomi - there might just be a few newbies around at the moment; myself included!

I'm Sally, I've just signed up as I need something to make sure I keep up the photography and this looked just the thing! I've recently completed a level 1 Digital Photography course (T189) with the Open University (results out in March, so fingers x'ed!) and have definitely picked up the bug. I've also recently returned to paid employment after 3 years of working from home, so life's a bit hectic, but I really don't want photography to take a back seat now that the course is over.

Anyway, I have no doubt that others from my course will be making their way over here, too, so .... it's good to be here, and hello and Happy New Year to everyone!

Sally
December 31st, 2011
Great idea, Naomi! Today's my final day of my first year, and I now feel like a seasoned veteran! To all of you newbies, I know you're going to love it here. I've learned so much about my camera and the interaction with others from all over the world is the best! (Indiana, USA here!)

One question the comes up on the discussion boards is about "the rules". Do I have to take a photo every single day? Can I use fillers? The only rule here is that there are no rules. This project is your own and you can do whatever you like with it. Happy New Year and enjoy your journey!
December 31st, 2011
Hello from Southern California!
Signed up, ready to take the plunge :-)

Welcome to 365 everyone!! I hope you come to love the 365 community as much as the rest of us do. :)
December 31st, 2011
well after totally screwing p my year 1 im back to try again starting tomorrow :)
December 31st, 2011
Hello and welcome to you all!
December 31st, 2011
I just joined the other day. I got a new camera (and moved from my film slr to digital) so I thought I would join to see how much I can improve in a year.
December 31st, 2011
what a great way to be welcomed to the fold, thanks Naomi :) I've been here six months now but would love to get to know some 'fresh blood' too - good luck with 2012 everyone xx
December 31st, 2011
I've been on here for about a month now, but still consider myself to be new :) I'm from South Florida, but originally Canada. I joined to improve my photography, and I feel it already has! :) Welcome to everyone new as well! You'll love it even after a few days :)
December 31st, 2011
Hi everyone! My name is Lori. I am from Michigan, and I was encouraged by my friends to create a page.. Lol I am a mom to a wonderful 5 yr old girl. I am sure you will be sick of photos of her in a few weeks! My husband and I also have two dogs another favorite photo subject of mine... Looking forward to working on this, expanding my photography skills which right now are very rudimentary, and seeing all the beautiful pics everyone takes.
December 31st, 2011
I started Christmas Day and have enjoyed the warm welcome. This is a terrific community and it is especially nice to connect with folks from far away and see into the daily realm of different parts of the world. I have already been blown away by the skill and creativity on display. I hope some of it rubs off on me!
December 31st, 2011
I'm really not new. Just new again for the bazzilionth time and determined to make it thru an entire year.
December 31st, 2011
@flamez1 yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back! I'm here for another 3 weeks or so...but am thinking of doing a second year. Look forward to seeing your new stuff! :)

and welcome all newbies...its great fun here and very inspiring :)
December 31st, 2011
hello everyone! I'm Shannon. I am from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. I am starting my 365 tomorrow (Jan1, 2012). Like Rachel above, I'm not really new, just trying again and determined to get through a whole year this time. 3rd time lucky! I wish everyone a happy new year and a wonderful year of great photos!
December 31st, 2011
@flamez1 Glad you are starting fresh! I love your fun photos!
December 31st, 2011
Hello everyone, I'm in high school in the USA and I'm starting my project tomorrow for the new year. I'm going all the way till December 31 so I guess I'll be doing a 366 project? I'm excited for 2012 and this project. :)
December 31st, 2011
Hi there, I am brand new and have NO IDEA what I am getting myself into but it sounded cool. I am from New England and looking forward to learning something.
December 31st, 2011
Happy last day of 2011! My name is Chrissy and I am from Michigan. I am married with two kids, two dogs and two cats. I work full time in Information Technology and go to school part time. I love photography and hoping to someday get my hands on a nice camera of my own.

Cheers!
December 31st, 2011
hiya, i've done a year already, but am starting my 2nd year tomorrow
December 31st, 2011
Hi, I joined today as I've been thinking about doing a 365 project for a while and wanted the challenge and needed some inspiration! I live in West Yorkshire in England.
December 31st, 2011
@looseimages Thanks so much for the advice on notifications, I've found over 100 - feel so bad about not replying to these sooner but now I know where it is I can! Thank you!
December 31st, 2011
Raj
Hi All,

Like many folks here I'm doing this project to help me become a better photographer. Also, I've heard a lot of wonderful stories about how these projects open you up to and help you appreciate the people and places around you.

I'm from New Jersey, US. Looking forward to an interesting 2012...
December 31st, 2011
I tried last year, and failed! I'm back for 2012 and hoping to make it the whole year. :)
December 31st, 2011
Welcome to all the new 365ers! :)
December 31st, 2011
To all new comers. Welcome . Use and enjoy yourselves however you lke, I joined as a happy snapper and the site has helped so muvh.
December 31st, 2011
Hello, my name is Gaby and im from Chicago [suburbs] IL.. USA.. 23 yrs old... i was thinking of doing this last year [on another site] but backed out on the first day lol but hopefully this year i will make it... i dont always take pictures, either im not inspired or too tired from work to even think... but ill do my best
December 31st, 2011
Hello - I just started December 13th. I filled the December calendar with previous shots. I am fairly new to photography as well but I think I have learned a lot since I started. I'm married & live in Wisconsin. I am anxiously awaiting to see the improvements I will make from learning from all the unbelievably talented 365 photographers! Sometimes I feel why post it - it looks like trash compared to some experienced photographers with the fancy camera's but I think it will be fun to look back & see the journey. Feel free to follow me & I will do the same - so we can grow together (at least I will). Kathy
December 31st, 2011
@looseimages ~ had better carry on !!! lol i dont wanna * know* no one hehe ! :D

its good to see a few are carrying on , im not gonna take it quiet so seriously this time if i post crap , then i post crap lol my aim is just to use the camera everyday again ...... looking forward to finding loadsa people to follow :D
December 31st, 2011
Hello! I started yesterday but hope to continue through the end of 2012.. maybe beyond that if I'm still motivated! I'm from the US (New England) and my favorite things in the world are dance, friends, animals, laughing, chocolate, and naps! I work in radiology and have danced all my life. I still take as many dance classes as I can fit in my schedule and perform in musicals for fun. I am not a photographer but just enjoy taking photographs. I like to capture memories and things that I think are beautiful or interesting in this way. Like everyone else has said, there is so much talent on this site and I am looking forward to being inspired and amazed by everyone!
December 31st, 2011
@flamez1 nice to see you back :)
Welcome everyone, 365 is lots of fun :D
December 31st, 2011
Hi All - I plan to start tomorrow ... my New Year's resolution is to make time this year for my hobby and myself, even if it's just 5 minutes a day. I don't plan to WOW anyone with my photos, but if I can get out my box a few times this year and really get to know my gear then I will be a happy camper when this project is done!
December 31st, 2011
@s_freer hah! you are doing better than I have been. This is more like my fourth or fifth try. Welcome and good luck with your third attempt!
January 1st, 2012
@herussell Thank you very much and thanks/hello to all the new awesome people I've met through here. I'm a bit nervous, I set the bar a bit high for myself but I know that will push me to improve. : /
January 1st, 2012
@naomi Hehe. I'm fairly new - day 14 for me. Great site so far!

I'm from Colorado Springs - I have a wife and a 4 yr old son, 2 dogs... work in healthcare. My passion is climbing mountains - my goal is to climb the highest 100 mountains in Colorado. I've got about 25 to go! =D Cheers!
January 1st, 2012
My first project of 2012 and first try at 365project. If I get through April (my birthday) I'm going to reward myself with a good camera. Wish me luck. And Happy New Year to all!
January 1st, 2012
Hi All! I've been watching others do this project over the past year and finally decided to dust off my camera and join in. I like the fact that there is structure and a deadline to it. All most like homework.;) Hopefully forcing myself to do this will turn the randomness of what I have been doing into a volume of work that I can grown from. Here we go! (crossing fingers and plugging in the battery...) :D
January 1st, 2012
Hi, I'm from country New South Wales in Australia, and after a false start on Christmas Day, I'm trying again with New Year's Day. I'm hoping to use this project like a diary, as well as improve my limited photography skills. I really hope I can post a photo a day! I work full time and have 3 teenage daughters, so life is pretty busy, but I'd love to take photos like the amazing ones I have been looking at on this site. There's some very clever people here! Happy New Year to all!!
January 1st, 2012
Hey everyone - my name is Allison and I'm a grad student from Ohio. I have no experience taking pictures other than snaps with my friends throughout high school and college - I've been inspired by food blogs over the past few years to really learn how to take great pictures. This next year will bring lots of new experiences for me so I'm looking forward to documenting them! I would love tips on how to take pictures with a tiny point-and-shoot ;)
January 1st, 2012
Hey everyone. I'm Lisa and I'm pretty new to this site. Only been on a week. I'm excited to do this. I like to pretend I'm a photographer lol. My kids think I torture them everytime I bring out the camera. I have photographed 2 weddings and have done a photoshoot before. (they were family members though but good to practice on). I'm in Florida. Photography has been a hobby for about 2-3 years now with me just recently getting more info it within last 6 months or so.
January 1st, 2012
Hi everyone. I am Sarah :) I started 365 on Christmas eve. I am very much an amateur photographer. Have just got my first, much-longed for DSLR camera so am still very much learning the ropes on how to use it. I live in Auckland NZ. Doing 365 days for two reasons, to take more photos of my children and to get better and more creative in my photography.
January 1st, 2012
Hello, My name is Sarah and i am new here (: I think this site is a very cool concept and would love to part take in it. Especially starting in the new year! The reason i am doing it is to become a better photographer/learn to be more creative and just to capture a year of my life in pictures.
January 1st, 2012
Hi All - I like many others am an amateur photographer. I own a Canon D50 SLR. I also own a point and shoot Canon S1300 and will soon be shooting with my new iPhone. I love capturing anything that might catch my eye. I want to try new things, more B&W. I cannot wait to see and learn more from everyone here!!
January 1st, 2012
Hi, I just started today. here is my 1st, on the 1st, from the corner of 1st and 1st.
January 1st, 2012
Hye ya'll. My name is Rusty. I live just outside Nashville, TN. I own a Canon T1i. I've been wanting to get involved in something to help me be more consistent with my picture taking. I thought the 365 Project would be a good start.
January 1st, 2012
To the new ones: Welcome to 365! I joined a year ago, actually finished yesterday, but it's too much fun and inspiration to leave now. Hope you'll feel the same way after your first year! ;-) Have fun!
January 1st, 2012
@naomi

Thank you for this welcome thread! I'm too self-conscious to post my own haha. I'm Chassity, I live in Indiana, and I'm here more to document a story than to make any purposeful effort at improving my photography. Don't get me wrong, photography is a hobby of mine, and I'd love to improve, but that is not the reason that I started this project. Since my birthday is 12/12, then 2012 should be the best year of my life, right? :) I want a complete story to look back on when 2013 hits. I'd love to find some others whose primary goal is documenting a year of their life.
January 1st, 2012
Hi! I'm 25-years old gal from Finland. I pretty much suck at photography so I'm not sure if I can even be here. :P My motivation to do this project is to document my life, fun and interesting things and moments. This is also going to be learning experience for me when I do get my first slr camera. (...would be grateful for any camera suggestions/regs.)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone, my name is Dave (or pinkie) and I'm a 33 year old from Stroud in Gloucestershire, UK. I went out for a walk today and took some photos, and then later I was surfing and saw some articles about taking a photo everyday, so thought I'd join up! My first picture is this one of a boathouse which I found on my walk.



Not sure where this project will take me, but I'm sure it'll be worth it!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello all!
I just joined the site today. My name is Annabel, and I'm 15 years old (16 in May!). I live Kentucky in the U.S.A.
I discovered photography about 7 months ago, when I started experimenting with my mother's Panasonic DMC-FZ7, which she had bought for recording family events. I discovered quickly that I had a real passion for photography, and I began a photography blog. (www.overjoyedobservations.blogspot.com)
Now I'm trying to challenge myself to learn more and to keep practicing. I discovered this website and decided that it would be a great idea to start this project with the new year. I hope both to learn from the more experienced photographers here and to continue to teach myself as I have been, through lots of practice.
January 2nd, 2012
I found this site today and joined immediately. I'm from Nebraska. I've been interested in photography for a long time, but finally got started learning a little over a year ago. I still have a lot to learn, but I like playing with different settings on my camera to see what comes out of it. I think it will be fun to come up with photos throughout the year and looking forward to the challenge of finding things to photograph.
January 2nd, 2012
Hola all, nother newbie here. I started something like this last year with an iphone app i found.. but after January my photos were few and far between so thought since I got a new Canon T3 for my xmas gift this site would make me take picks to learn about the camera and what all it does lol. Im a mom of 2 boys, married to a marine, we live in California. My hopes are to make an album of all the pics I take each day to show off what I did, and my improvement!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I just joined today. I started getting to know my DSLR and taking pictures about 2 months ago and got hooked. I hope this project will keep me inspired and let me learn new techniques. So far, I'm just overwhelmed by the support given by the 365 community. I've got several comments and followers with just my first photo. Hope to keep going until the end.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all. I'm Lisa. I'm from Florida and a friend suggested this site. I'm a part-time photographer and Mom of two crazy little ones( one of each!) You'll likely be seeing lots of them as they're my favorite thing to photograph. Excited to start!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone! I live in NYC where there is much happening around me, and I love to share my experiences. I found this site today by simply doing a google search and signed up. I was hoping to find a site exactly like this. To capture a photo as life moves day by day and to share it with a like-minded community is a great concept. I also do need a reason to keep dust from collecting on my Canon T1i. This will be fun!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone, my name is Kate and I am an Australian living in BC Canada (just moved here last August). I love taking photos and would really like to get better at it . As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, with a photo a day I think this project will really help me. I am looking forward to the journey.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone - my name is Shannon and I live in Toronto, Canada. I have a Canon Powershot SX10IS and for the life of me, I'd love to learn how to operate it in its entirety. (Why don't they make camera manuals more user friendly - or is it just me?!) Anyhow - I love love love photos. I am always taking photos and my hobby for the past few years is making photo albums on Shutterfly. But, an album is really only as good as the photos you have...so I am here to try to stretch, learn and engage in a community of people to be inspired from. Oh! I am also on maternity leave which means lots o' shots of the kidlets! Bear with me :)
January 2nd, 2012
hi there, im kinda new started a few times before but never at the start of the year. im a touch OCD so needed a new account to start fresh in the new year! ive got 3 albums going, a personal one for myself to practise using my cannon dSLR and basic editing as well as an album for each of my 2 kiddies where i want to take a pic a day of each of them. Im from Melbourne Australia :-)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi Everyone,
I am hoping that this project will help me gain a little creativity and maybe a little more motivation to get out and take some pics this year. I came across my old camera, the kind that uses film, and it got me thinking of trying to take some film shots too. I'm looking forward to seeing all your pics throughout the year!
January 2nd, 2012
@mbennett That's very clever for your 1st on the 1st! Nice work!
January 2nd, 2012
Newbie here from Canada-- I saw this posted on Facebook today and thought this was a great thing to do! However, I must say by looking at some of the pictures posted-- I will have to step up my game!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, My name is Kathy and I am a newbie... I am from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia...

On the 29th of December I started to walk more and on my walk I saw so many cool things to photograph.. I just take the pics on my new mobile phone, which has a great panoramic function.. Someone I know is doing something similiar to this, but then someone suggested this online one and I signed up... I hope I can keep with it.. I guess only time will tell..
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Tori, and I will be getting a brand new digital SLR camera, scheduled to be delivered to my house tomorrow. I found this site in the hopes of finding a site where I can easily post a picture a day for *free* and this is where I ended up. I can't wait to take my new camera for a test run this next year. Happy New Year, everyone!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi my name is Justin, i'm just your average camera newb & your average boy trying to find his place in this world, i got a new camera for christmas.. and decided i'd try to capture memories of this year, so i started a project 365.. :-]
January 2nd, 2012
Hello I'm Jessie. I am restarting today, a fresh start. I tried this a while back and life got in the way so I never finished. I wanted to start fresh so I started a new project!
I am a 22 year old in the US and about to go into my final semester of College. I am a Special Education major. This year will be an eventful one. My last semester I will be student teaching, then when my semester is done I will be graduating, on the job hunt, maybe going to graduate school, maybe finding my own place. Feel free to watch my journey as I enter "the real world"
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone! I'm Kristin from Houston. I have been learning so much this past year about photography, and I am having a blast doing it. I got my first DSLR camera...a canon T2i...back in May.

I finally joined the 365 project, and I just posted my first photo today. It's going to be a challenge to capture an interesting photo every day, but I'm up for it. I'm excited to see how much I grow in 1 year, and look forward to learning more from y'all.

Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2012
I'm new to photography as well as this site, but would love to make talented friends! I figured the best way to learn about photography is to dive right in, so I've joined just about every site possible, read a million articles, pinned a million pictures, challenged myself to 365, and, hopefully, captured a few great shots. I live in Los Angeles, and most of my photos are taken out and about during routine daily activites.

Join me!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello new peeps!!! Glad you've all decided to take this journey. I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. You'll see why once you're further into your project. This site is amazing!!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi... I'm Cathy. This is a project that I have always seen from others and wanted to do myself. I'm not the best photographer, but I enjoy making pictures! I have an older camera... but it still takes good pics :) I'm going to try to make the most unique and original pictures I can find in every day life.
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Bryce. I have blue eyes and a slightly larger than average nose.

My wife got me a little point and shoot camera for Christmas. I know very little about photography. So I figured the internet might enjoy my attempts at picture taking. This site has some incredible pictures. If I post 365 (366 this year, I guess), maybe one will match up.

If this goes well, maybe I can justify a SLR camera purchase next holiday.

Onward I go.
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Ariana! I'm from northern California, a professional glamour and wedding photographer. I did this project in 2010, came close to finishing but life got in the way. I'm back and inspired to try new ideas and techniques, and make new friends!
January 2nd, 2012
Hey, I'm Todd. I'm new to this project but I'm very excited to get started! I live in Plymouth, Massachusetts with my wife Lisa of almost 13 years, our 10 year old son Jaden, 3 dogs (Jewel, Rachel and Jade), 2 cats (Millie and Faith) and our Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot named Scooter. I am a Veterinary Assistant at Kingston Animal Hospital, and I am a part time ninja. Well, maybe I made up the part about being a ninja, but I could be if I really wanted to. I'm always looking for an outlet to feed my creative side, which includes creative writing, poetry, song writing and photography.
The 365 Project seems like a great way to share my photos and to also learn more about photography from others.
Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello guys!

Happy New Year to all of you! Looking forward to see what others share!

Hello all! Been browsing around the website for a week now but just posted my first pic today. I've always been interested in photography and I think this project will help me learn and understand photography so much more.
January 2nd, 2012
I'm a professional photographer, taking pictures of other people's kids every day. However, I've been neglecting getting my own life documented. I have four kids from age 1-11, and I'm missing out on so many little moments because I never seem to have the energy to bring my camera home and shoot "after hours." I'm not looking to wow anyone with my mad skillz...just want the inspiration and a little bit of purpose to push me to get the camera out and capture a little bit of my kids' life each day.

Hi, I'm Sheri. I live in Long Beach, CA.
I'm totally exited to take on the photo a day challenge.
I think it will be a fun way to document a year in my life,
as well as taking a moment each day to find a bit of beauty
in something....

Mary Beth from Nebraska. I'm a semi-retired mom, magazine hoarder, blog reader, cooker of good food, and a new gramma. I take lots of pictures but don't do much with them. Here's my chance!
January 2nd, 2012
I am looking forward to focusing & organizing my iPhone photography - I'm giving myself themes to follow each week (may certainly borrow from this site if I get stuck...!). This week it's "beginnings."

I take a lot of pics of foodstuffs as well as everyday items from interesting angles. I also like to use Instagram to manipulate colors & shadows.

Looking forward to connecting through the year :)

G'day
I'm Kris from Canberra, Australia. I hope I can see the year out. I'm passionate about photography so I just need to focus that energy towards achieving this goal.
Good luck to everyone.

Cracking Thread! I'm Jason from tropical North Queensland, Australia and I just recently finished my first year which in essence was all about Frogs, Bugs and Birds in my garden oasis. I have just started year 2 and it is a retrospective look at the 3 years I spent living in the jungles of Papua New Guinea where I documented my time by taking 26,000 photographs. The stories have been well rehearsed drinking beer with my mates and the photos are now being edited on better stronger faster machines. Papua New Guinea has never looked sweeter!

A warm welcome to all the newbies, I can remember only 12 months ago how that felt. This community is so warming, so encouraging, and so inspiring. Jump in feet first and get your hands dirty. If you put heaps into your project you will get heaps of knowledge and rewards. The biggest risk is to take no risk at all.

Enjoy the ride! Its a cracker!

Hi, I'm Chase. I turn 25 on January 3rd. I consider myself as energetic, friendly, optimistic, opinionated and passionate. Photography is something that I've always wanted to do, but it wasnt until October 2011 that I finally dedicated myself to learning the art. I shoot with a Canon Rebel T2i, and occasionally my iPhone4S. I would love for any of yall to follow me, and I can guarentee you that I will continue to give it my all, each and everyday. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, my name is Minna, I'm 16 and from Finland, but at the moment I'm an exchange student and living in California. I love photography, I love to play with a camera and have fun. My camera is not very good, and I don't see myself as a good photographer. So if you have any tips, just share them with me, please. Usually I give up projects like this, but this time, I want to finish what I've started. Sorry, this might not make sense, I'm so tired right now.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, My name is Stan and I am from the United States, but I live in Germany. There's an old saying that when you stop carrying your camera you stop being a tourist and unfortunately that has caused me to miss some awesome opportunities so I thought I'd try a 365 project to force myself into carrying my camera more often. Sadly, my good cameras are in storage and I only have a Sony Cybershot & an iPod Touch with me so I'm not expecting high quality shots, but it should still be fun.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! :)
My name is Mel, and I'm from New Zealand, have been based in Dunedin, but making the move up to Christchurch next week. I work full time as a photographer as well as studying photography so it is easy to say that it is my life! I decided to give this a go as a way of exploring a new city and getting to know my way around a little bit better and also just to keep me creative! I would love for you all to follow my 366 both here and over on my facebook page! (www.facebook.com/artifexphotography) - looking forward to seeing what other lovely images people post throughout the year! x
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone :)
My names Summer and I'm from the UK. I'm a student on a gap year and I thought it would be a brilliant opportunity to give 365 a try :) I received a Lumix GF3 for Christmas so I'm still getting used to it but hopefully my pictures aren't too bad! I can' t wait to really get into it and see everyone else's amazing pictures! :D x
January 2nd, 2012
Hi. Name is Garret, live in Dublin. Like others, I am not a photographer but want to challenge myself to take some new pictures. I am also interested in seeing the pictures that other people come up with.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, my name is Liv and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Instead of an engagement ring I asked for a DSLR, which my now husband kindly got me. I wanted to give 365 a go to force myself to take more photos and improve. I also have issues finishing projects so hopefully this will be the one.

The photos on here are amazing and inspirational. I can't wait to see what people come up with.

Cheers!

Hello everybody.

I can't wait to get up and running with this project, I have already seen some fantastic pictures, I hope to see many more, and maybe make a friend or two along the way.
Happy New Year everybody.

January 2nd, 2012
Happy New Year all! I'm from Adelaide in South Australia (where the best wine in the world comes from...)

I'm an actor, playwright and food blogger at http://shutupandeatalready.blogspot.com

Usually I like to use words to express myself, so this appealed to me as a visual challenge to help me document my life over the next year.

Like most people, my life has the potential to change pretty quickly, as it has done all the previous years of my life, so why not capture the mercurial nature of one's own grace? I'm looking forward to capturing the poetry of the ordinary moments every day and I can't wait to see yours too. :)
January 2nd, 2012
HI, I am Shelli from Placerville, in northern California. I am wanting to improve my photography skills , creativity and learn to use my cameras better. I will be using my Canon 60d, 500d sx40 hs, , sony nex 5n or my iphone for this project. I plan on giving myself themes each week . I just learned earlier this evening about a 365 project and was looking up the meaning of it and stumbled across this site.

Hoping to connect with some great people and see some fantastic photo. A joyous New Year to all!.
January 2nd, 2012
Happy New Year!
Seems like the perfect New Year's Resolution to me because I think this will also encourage me to make the most out of every day. I'm really looking forward to what this brings (and the looks I get for getting my camera out all of the time!).
I'm hoping to represent my hobbies through these photos - caving, French Horn, singing, acting, walking, knitting...

Hi everyone! My name is Aleksandra, I also get called Ola by family and friends, and I live in Adelaide, Australia. I am married, a mother of 2 boys and have been the unofficial family photographer for years, always with a camera in close reach, sticking it in people's faces! My kids said 'cheese' pretty much before they said anything else...poor little tikes! These days, I try to get them when they're not expecting me, or else its usually one of those lovely fake smiles that a 3 and 7yr old have perfected just to keep me happy :)

I've always taken photos to keep memories alive, and since entering the world of DSLR's, have found a real passion in capturing all sorts of inspirational moments. I still feel very much a novice in the photography world and am very keen to improve my skills and creativity.

I've been amazed by the wonderful pics that people post and am looking forward to seeing what I can create over this project. I'll be using my Canon 60D, my iPhone4 and a Sony Cybershot, depending on the day and where I am at the time :)

Kya
Hi, my name is Kya and I am from Australia. I am a website designer and love to take photographs. I am still quite amateur, but I think taking part in this project will help to inspire me a lot more.

I really look forward to catching a small glimpse into peoples lives through this project.
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Joanna from England but living in Crete, Greece for a few months. I've had my Nikon D5000 for a while now and have to move out of 'auto' mode, so I hope this project will help. I used to have an old Nikkormat film SLR camera which I loved and I find the digital camera SO complicated in comparison. I looked at the manual for the Nikon today and my brain hurt before I'd read 4 pages! I hope by the end of this year that I will have worked out some of the buttons. I long to take my photography up to a new level. And I'm so in awe of many of the photos uploaded here.
Please follow me if you want to and I'll follow you back. Hints and tips will be VERY welcome!

Dan
Hello everyone, I'm Dan from Rye in the UK. I've been serious about photography for about a year and a half and a 365 project seemed like the next step. I use an old but much loved Sony A100 and my HTC Wildfire.

I'm going to try to take pictures that are in some way relevant to whatever's going on that day.....even if it's just a pic of my dinner.
January 2nd, 2012

Hi, my name is Tim as you can see, I have started again. A year and a half ago I got Elke onto this merry-go-round and she is still going strong. Figured if I wanted to talk to here I better get on here and my daughter and granddaughter are on here as well and I am sure they are talking about me so I am here for self protection, and to document this year in pictures.

Lou
Hi, I'm Lou, from Sunny Bathgate in Scotland. I've decided to do the project as a bit of a challenge for myself to see if I can a) stick with it for a whole year and b) learn exactly what all the buttons on my camera do!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! My name is Katie and I'm from a small town outside of Boston, MA. I love taking photos but I am not very good :), so I am hoping that consistent practice will help me improve! Many photos will be of my kids and dogs, but others might just be of things that inspire or move me in some way.
January 2nd, 2012
@joannapayne -- I'm jealous of your living in Crete! We went there on our honeymoon (years ago!) and were awed by both the natural beauty and the lovely texture of the towns.

January 2nd, 2012
Hi, my name is Kiran, I live in Texas. I am married and have two boys and I have been taking snapshots from the time my first one is born 8 years ago. But my real love for photography only surfaced two months ago, after 2 years of buying a DSLR. So, I'm a big time novice, but I'm learning something new almost everyday with the help of this site and by taking a lot of pictures. My boys are my subjects most often, and they are tortured with my camera in their face all the time. I'm hoping this project will make my learning and growing(photography skills) more structured and enjoyable. Looking forward to find inspiration everyday.
January 2nd, 2012
Greetings! I am trying this out because I need more beauty in my life. This is also a way for me take time to do something for me each day (both taking a shot and viewing so many other lovely ones!) I'll confess that I'm really intimidated by the shots I've seen so far--amazing talent out there, wow!! Thanks for welcoming me.
January 2nd, 2012
Hey everyone, Rich here, have enjoyed photography for a while for fun. Hopefully this helps me to experiment a bit more and take some amazing photos. I have three weeks left living in London then traveling for a while through Vietnam and Cambodia on the way back home to NZ. So a great opportunity to get some really nice shots to start the campaign off.... Look froward to seeing every ones pics

Hi I'm Erin I live in Texas and this is my second 365! My first one was so fun and challenging and got me interested in photography! So I ditched my point-and-shoot and got a Canon Rebel for my 25th birthday and I'm learning how to use it. Good luck to everyone it can be tough!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Nikki, I live in Lincoln, UK. I have joined to have some fun & document the next year in pictures. Hopefully this project will inspire me to take some better pictures & I may even dust off my old SLR. But mostly I will be quickly taking snaps on my phone in between looking after my 3 kids!

Jes
Hello, I'm Jes from Lancaster County, PA. A friend invited me to join 365Project with her, figuring having friends along for the ride would provide motivation to keep going. I recruited my daughter because she loves to take photos and has a good eye for the unique. While I live in the world of photographic mediocrity, I enjoy snapping photos and really like the idea of chronicling my year this way. Here we go! :)
January 2nd, 2012
hello everyone and happy new year! I'm Alyssa, i'm from Pennsylvania and i'm so excited to start the 365 project. Im doing this to record my year by taking a picture of something I do each day. Im not a photographer but I love taking pictures. hope I keep up with this all year!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello~ I'm Sara and I'm from Northern Ireland. I kinda wanted to do this for a while but every year I remembered, it was too far into the year to do it properly. I have an odd feeling this is going to be an interesting year for me as I'm going into hospital some time, so I thought it would be fun to document that etc. Hopefully I won't forget before then. Lol!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all! I'm Rich and live in Wigan, England. I decided to finally take the plunge and start a 365 project for 2012, just hope I've got the motivation to complete it. Will be using a mix of my DSLR, compact and my iPhone and hope to show some signs of improvement over the year!

Good luck everyone!

January 2nd, 2012
Hello:) My name is Tabitha. I'm from England. I've decided to start the 365 project as it will be a good way to improve my photography and keep a record of some great memories. I'm going to be using my new Fujifilm Finepix S2950 and my phone to take my photos. It might be difficult as I am only 15 and still in school. x

Hello. I'm Phillip, 40, from a small town in Ohio. I studied comm. photography in 1990 & 91 (the film days) in Dayton, Ohio. Photography didn't pan out for me back then so I started a landscaping business. Probably like many others on here, I have an addiction to photography and not enough hard drive space. I'm just looking to improve my skills,being more creative and learning from everyone else by doing this project.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, I'm a newbie to Project 365 but am looking forward to it! I have a question about the iPhone ap...can you use both the iPhone ap and the web version?

Thanks for your help!

January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone, I'm Jenna, 23, from Merseyside, England. I've only been signed up a day and am loving it already! I don't think I'll find it hard taking a picture a day, as I permanently have my camera attached to my hand! It's only a Fujifilm Digital camera, pretty bog standard, but hopefully I'll be getting a better one for my birthday! I'm looking forward to learning more about editing/effects etc and experimenting, and also looking through all your pics for inspiration! :) x
January 2nd, 2012

Hi I'm Steph! I'm 29 and I live in Dorset, England with my husband and almost 6 year old daughter. I have just completed an open university course in photography but have neglected my camera of late! I'm hoping to take more photos this year and thought this project would be a good way to ensure I did!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone, I'm starting my second 365 project, but not 100% sold on the idea yet. I also started one last year, but gave up after about 7 months. I'm going to be mellow with this one and just try to stay on top of it without feeling overwhelmed.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! I'm Linda from Saskatoon, Sk, Canada. My daughter sent me this site and it looks like fun. I missed yesterday so uploaded 2 pics today. It might be tough to maintain the commitment of a pic everyday but I'll try.
January 2nd, 2012

Hello new people ! Welcome. I am Dora, from São Paulo, Brazil. This is my 3rd year here. Love it !
January 2nd, 2012
I tackled 365 in 2010, took a break in '11 and jumping back in for '12! I'm in the metro Atlanta, GA area. Looking forward to seeing everyone's images!
January 2nd, 2012

Hello, I am from Massachusetts and am excited to begin this project. Photography is a new endeavor for me and know that I have a lot to learn but am looking forward to this journey.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, I'm Linda from Richmond, VA . I "gifted" myself a Canon Rebel T2i just before Christmas and have no earthly idea what I'm doing. I LOVE photography, hope to learn more about the manual settings, and see improvement thru the year! I'm 53 years old starting a new journey in life! Have my first grandchild (20 mos) and I'm sure she'll be my main focus on the cold wintry days when she's here. I want to learn and continue learning. My main goal is since having my grand daughter, I've taken more notice that all family events and get togethers, I'm NEVER in the picture because I'm always taking them! At some point, I want to offer affordable services to people just like me! Birthday parties, anniversaries, Thanksgiving, Christmas or whatever. I don't want my grandchildren to grow up, look at pictures and wonder where MeMa is or forget what I look like. Surely there are other families that feel the same way.... hoping? Looking forward to this 365 project, hope I can keep up with it! :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, Paul from Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the great pictures from everyone on the site and starting my first 365 project. I tend to procrastinate with this type of project, so my plan is to shoot with my iPhone on most days whatever I'm doing, wherever I am at 9:00am each day. Should be interesting. :-)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! I'm Shelly and embarking on this to document and remember the little things that happen every day. How do I add a little about me blurb to my homepage? I tried my profile but don't see it there.

Hi Sally from the UK..started 365 project with son and husband...I can't seem to upload any pictures from my Blackberry...husband's pictures are all on their side!!! Our son is doing great using his iPhone and MacBook Air...anyway will persevere it can't be that hard. Don't expect any truly inspirational photos from me, just a record of everyday life. :-)

Hi all, my name is Saretta and I live in southern Italy. I had a photoblog about the small city I live in, but don't have enough time to keep it up. Thought the one photo a day commitment might be easier! ;-)
January 2nd, 2012
I got to read about this project and thought this might be a fun idea to do. I'm a novice in taking pictures and just have a canon sx120 point and shoot. The bigger motivation to do this is to get a SLR camera later on and see how I can handle that. I hope no one laughs at my attempts.. :)

Hi! I'm Kirsty, from Cambridge, UK. Like a few others on this thread I joined last year (under a different name) but dropped out after a few weeks. This year I want to see it through to the end!

I don't have a flash camera or any great skill in using it, but I'm hoping to use this project as a way of documenting my year. Some of the amazing shots on this site put me to shame, but they've definitely inspired me to try to improve my skills.

This is Don from Prince Edward County in Ontario, Canada. I've always taken photographs since I was a teen. I used to have my own darkroom as a youngster where I loaded my own film and developed all my black & white photographs. Introduced to this 365 idea by my sister in law over Chrismas this year, so thought I would give it a try to share some of our local rural scenery with others online here.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi,
I'm from Seattle, WA. This is my first 365 project. I promised someone I would do this. I love photography and hopefully I will gain some experience from this.
January 2nd, 2012
HI,
My name is Laurie from Rapid City, SD. I chose to do this project as a challenge to MYSELF. Challenge Accepted!! I hope to learn a lot throughout the year! I have always loved photography and this site has a ton of inspiration!!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi All
I live in Southern Ontario, I'm not a professional photographer. I just LOVE taking pictures. I've taken them since I got my first Kodak 110 pocket camera. I don't have any zoom lenses I have a Nikon 15X Wide Optical Zoom. I look forward to looking at every ones photos. I hope you enjoying looking at mine as much as I like taking them. Please feel free to offer helpful hints. Please don't be mean. Have a Amazing day Happy clicking :)

Hello,
My name is Chuck. I am a United Methodist pastor living in New York. My wife and I had a freelance business 28 years ago before we went to college. I was photo editor for the college yearbook, and burned out a bit after too many hours in the darkroom. I decided to get back into the art form I love a couple of years ago. The digital learning curve was a little intimidating and I've only played at it since then. This year, I want to take it more seriously and get back to where I was, but with the new media. When I learned about the 365project, I decided this was the way to keep me focused. I am looking forward to this year in my own development and in appreciating the work of others. I look forward to your inspiration and constructive criticism, and I hope I can offer the same.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all! My name is Diane and I reside in Minnesota. I am an Oat Analyst at a food corporation and just living life day by day. I started the 365 project because I've been neglecting my amazing Canon T2i for the past couple years since I got it and hoping I can finally stay committed and learn a thing or two from the camera and definitely from you all.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello all, my name is Kristen and I am really looking forward to this project! I love photography and always have. This will be a fun and interesting way to capture whatever each day brings!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello all, I'm Sara from Montreal, QC, Canada... I really love taking pictures but always forget to carry my camera with me (plus it's a replacement from one that I loved that was stolen, and they don't make the old one anymore). I'm thinking of maybe getting a new camera; this year will be my litmus test as to if I really need one. Most pictures will probably be taken by my Blackberry.
January 2nd, 2012
@naomi Hi! I'm Scott, from England. I wnated to do this so I could look back at the whole year a little bit easier come next New Years Eve :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hey, I'm Becca and also new to this!

I'm also new to photography, so I'm hoping to see some improvements as the year goes by!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone, my name is James. Im a student from Texas. I had tried this site before, but never completed it, so im hoping in 2012 to actually finish. I think it would be cool to look back at the year and see everything i done and learned about photography.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi there I am Megan from Hertfordshire, UK and I joined yesterday (1 Jan 2012). I wish I had known about this site before and I am so looking forward to my 365 journey. It also looks a great place to make new friends. I love photography and as I have a new camera this is a great site to hopefully improve my skills.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi
My name is Kate and I'm from Moscow, Russia. I'm 31, used to work a lot, travel a lot and shoot a lot, but since 18.10.2011 I'm a mother of a wonderful baby girl and although being a mother is the best job I could ever get, I don't have time to do anything else and that needs to be changed. Last year I tried 365project but stayed for 2 weeks only because I couldn't find topics for my pictures. This time I'm not giving up that easily. A few weeks ago it suddenly occurred to me that all you need to make a good photo is a good look around, that's all! So will keep my eyes wide open :) Good luck to you all and Happy New Year!!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, my name is Tammy, from small town West Virginia. I am a daycare teacher, single-mom of two almost grown daughters, full-time college student and caregiver to 10 cats (6 in, 4 out) 2 dogs and a rabbit. I like taking pictures, and looking at those of others. I am trying to decide if I want to invest in a better camera since I just take pictures for my own enjoyment. I hope to be able to stick this out for the full year...I also hope to learn a thing or two along the way.
January 2nd, 2012
Cristian from Ontario, Canada. Looking forward to this project which is sure to include lots of pictures of Karen and our pets :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hiiii! I'm Audrey from Asia :D

Philippines to be exact. I don't see that many Filipinos around here...I hope that I'm welcomed :o NERVOUS ATTACK. :)) I'm in my teens and I enjoy taking food photography the most, but I've also decided to be interested in other subjects like scenery, people, etc. I've been wanting to join this project ever since a long time ago, but procrastination hits me and I never get to start. This year would be different though. I'm motivated to find my photography style and to learn some tips and tricks :D
January 2nd, 2012
My name is Van from SOCAL living in Montgomery, AL. I heard about the 365project from my camera club. Looking forward to sharing, discussing, and learning.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi!

I'm Nat and I'm from the South West of England currently. I tried to do a 365 project a couple of years ago but lost interest due to a rather boring and samey life, but this year my life is going to be full of massive changes and I thought it would be good to document it somehow.

My photos will start off being about mundane ordinary things, but as the year progresses I hope to be able to take loads of fantastic photos of new and exciting things.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi!! I'm Candice from Etiwanda, California. This is my first 365 project, and all of my photos will taken with my iPhone since I recently broke my digital camera. I learned of this project from a friend and am very excited to start taking some fun photos that document my life. I'm sure a lot of them will be of my son who is my favorite subject, but there will be other fun and randoms as well. Happy snapping everyone!!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi My name is Amanda and I'm from Ipswich!

I joined to document my year in a different way to a diary, and at the end of it I am going to create a photobook of 2012. I don't have any flashy camera, just a bog standard digital but I am hoping to become inspired by all your lovely pictures posted and try to learn some new skills with photography!

Also my friend Ross is the creator of this website and I have always wondered what it's all about. I know some of my pictures may be mundane as I live an ordinary life, working 9-5 but I am hoping to keep things exciting and to start to look at the world through a different lens! Nice to meet you all xxx
January 2nd, 2012
Hi My name is Christy and I am from Western Michigan. I love photography and I look forward to this project.

Hi Guys!
My name is Clare and I live in Hertfordshire!

I just bought a new camera in the sales and have been trying it out the last few days. Put a few photos on my blog and just noticed that someone was trying this out and I thought it was such a lovely idea.

I absolutely love photos and would love to see the compilation of pics at the end of the year!

Hopefully I can improve my skills with the camera by the end of this too!

Nice to meet you all, looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures :) x
January 2nd, 2012
@cds52 Hey Clare, where in Hertfordshire? I am in Stevenage. I only found this site yesterday and love it - hoping I can gain some experience along the way now that I have a new camera. I just need to get some different lenses now. Look forward to seeing your pics. x
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, Geri in Buckinghamshire, UK. A friend did this last year & I enjoyed her photos so much & thought I'd give it a go. Very much a novice photographer here! Enjoying looking at the great photos here.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all... Lisa here and I am so excited to be in this forum! I am from Eastern WA State in the desert with the mighty Columbia River cutting its way through it.

I made a commitment to do one new thing I have always wanted to do this year and the choice it photography! Right now I am looking into what type of a camera would be suggested for a beginner level. I take loads of shots with my phone but have really always wanted to have the real deal. Please let me know what you think?

Nice to meet all of you and I look forward to time with you here!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello there,

I'm Kevin, I've had my Canon EOS400D for a couple of years now. I did start a 365 last year, but I've already done 100% better than I did then, not getting past day one last year.

I look forward to posting and viewing what other people are putting on here. Great to meet you all.
January 2nd, 2012

Coming at you from Austin, Texas....mid 30's gal with 2 cats and no iPhone, so photos taken from my cell will be super grainy! I am doing this project so I make sure to do a positive creative act each day. I believe creation is the opposite of destruction, and I am trying to rebuild after a year of breast cancer treatments.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi!

I live in Halifax, on the east coast of Canada. I learned of 365 sometime during the past year, but decided the New Year would be the perfect time to start. I take photographs quite regularly and thought this would be an excellent way to document a whole year: day by day. Looking forward to seeing my year-end compilation, as well as the photos posted by others.
January 2nd, 2012
Hey! My name is Danielle and I turn 26 in 5 days. I just got my new camera for Christmas so I have a lot of learning to do. So I thought this would be a very fun and creative way to play with all of the wonderful things it can do, that I have no idea about yet :) Looking forward to being inspired by you all!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello,
I just got a new camera and thought the best way to learn all of the features would be to use it! I started this journey today and have 2 of my favorite subjects for my first two pics...looking forward to seeing the amazing photos by everyone on the site...newbies and old hats alike. Cheers from DC.
January 2nd, 2012
Hey Im Hanif, - From Watford - Just Outside London, Total Novice, Recently Bought My Camera And Ive Heard Something Like This Makes You Learn New Things - So Looking Forward To It.

There Are Loads Of Awesome Photos Here - Hope I Can Shoot A Few.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, Happy New Year. I'm a VERY amateur shutterbug that simply gets a kick out of seeing a captured image. I'm looking forward to seeing the captures of others here.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello! Kerry from New Jersey here...I'm a day behind since my daughter came down with the flu 30 minutes before New Years! With her, my son and husband...and a full time job...there's never a dull moment...looking forward to learning and sharing! Cheers!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all !! Gillian here, from the little village of Gordon's Bay in Western Cape, South Africa. I joined some time ago but procrastination caused 2011 to disappear without a trace. This year, however, I'm determined to meet the 365 challenge. I don't have a fancy camera but am hoping to learn many new skills and be inspired through this site.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! My name is Marjon and I'm from the Netherlands. This isn't the first time I started this project, but this time I'll try to keep up with it. I want to take more pictures because they are the best souvenirs. I also want to experiment with my canon 1000D, because I haven't used it much yet. So I hope this'll work out for me! :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hello :) My name's Mel. I'm from Somerset in South-West England. I'm 15 and am studying GCSE Art and hoping to get an A (am stuck on a B at the moment!) and my main form of art that I use is photography. I thought I'd join this site as I could do with hints and tips on my photos to hopefully boost me up to that desired A, or even A*! Looking forward to commenting on all your photos, and hopefully getting some on mine too :D x
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, my name is Jasmine. :) I asked for a camera for Christmas so I could document the end of my High School life and the beginning of the rest of it. I got it, so I made a New Year’s resolution to take pictures every day. This site seemed like a good way to help me make sure I do, although my project will be 366 sence it is a leap year, or 356 if the world does end on winter solstace. I am also uploading new pictures to facebook every day. I love art, and although I am more used to working in my sketchbook or with clay, I already love photography.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello, my name's Gemma. I'm not new as such but have barely used 365 before. I plan to try and do a bit more with it this year, but probably won't take many photos still. I plan to put in fillers of photos I took in 2008 when I travelled around Europe, more as an excuse to relive the trip more than anything. I'll be editing and reprocessing the photos through Picnik, so that's my excuse - it'll be new versions of those photos! xx
January 2nd, 2012
Hello 365 people, my name is Jason and I'm from Leicestershire England.
I asked Santa for a cool upto date SLR for Xmas but he failed to deliver so I'm left to taking photographs on my Iphone4.
I really enjoy taking photographs , it should be interesting seeing the results if I can keep it up 365.
Spent time today looking some amazing photographs by you all.... hope that I can fit in......
Cheers for now
Jason
January 2nd, 2012
Hello! I'm Sarah from Manchester, UK.
Decided to take part in the 365 project in a bid to motivate me every day, 2 days in and it's going well... we'll see how that is in 222 days or even 22...
Getting to grips with the site and having a browse around people's projects!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone!

Decided I would join in on this and give it a shot...Im 30 and from Tampa, Florida. Lots of randomness will come from me as my life is far from bland...thanks for a great site and great users.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi! I'm super excited to get started with a new project for the year! I live in Minnesota, USA and I have a friend who did the 365 pictures last year, posted them to facebook each day - I love her project, and came across this site while searching for ideas for my own "daily photo." I think the calendar display is awesome, and I love getting and giving feedback for photos. Can't wait to see what this adventure has in store, and also looking forward to stretching and improving my photography.
January 2nd, 2012
My name is Vickie and I am a semi-professional wedding photographer. I shot about 6 weddings a year. My goal for photography this year is to learn, learn, learn. I also want to shot some portraits this year too.

ok so I am not new this year. Tried it last and didn't get very far. This year I hope to complete it.
January 2nd, 2012
@pinkfox Welcome to 365. Art is a grand healer. I am happy to hear of your recovery and look forward to your journey with 365!
January 2nd, 2012
@melhooper I look forward to seeing your work and hearing when you get that A! It will happen. I wasn't even a photographer and i can see much improvement in this past month! Great people, great project. Welcome!
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Laurie. I'm 50 years old and live in a small town in western Massachusetts. I'm interested in photography but don't know a whole lot, so I'm hoping this will be a learning experience for me. Finding spare time is a challenge, so it will be difficult to commit myself to a picture each day, but I'm willing to try.
January 2nd, 2012
Happy New Year! Greetings!
My name is Julie Staub and I live and work in Iowa City, Iowa as a Freelance Photographer, Artist, Consultant, Coach and Educator.

I have done 365 projects in the past and am currently doing one for another site, but I wanted to document 2012 from the very beginning! I know this year is going to be extra special and I just had to document! I look forward to connecting with a community and sharing my art on a daily basis. I found out about this site from a couple of my students. I loved going through their projects and was inspired to do one myself! I am eager to spend some time on here and get familiar with all the cool stuff the site offers! Thanks for making us feel so welcomed! Cheers to a brand new year!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Mel from Lancashire, UK. I finished a 365 project in 2010 but only got halfway through last year before life got a bit hectic and I had to give up.
I really need to find my mojo again and I'm hoping this 365 helps!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Heather, from Alberta, Canada. For Christmas this year, hubby got me a Canon Rebel T3 with two lenses. I can't wait to learn more about the camera. I have already taken over 150 shots just playing. Hopefully I will get lots of contructive critiques and help as I learn my new camera
January 2nd, 2012
Any people from Texas?
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone! Happy New Year. I've been on 365 for a little over a month. It occurred to me that I should have waited til the beginning of the year but didn't. Being involved with this site has made me very happy. There is so much talent, kindness and generosity here. And I love seeing snippets of people's lives from all over the world. For the other amateurs out there, I figure for every good photo you take, you take 500 mediocre or bad ones. Every one of them is a learning process. This is the best place to learn! I should throw out the million poor ones I have taken!
January 2nd, 2012
Greetings!
I'm Terri from Illinois, USA. I love taking pictures and creating memories. I'm most interested in this site, not as a tool to improve my camera skills, but as an organizational and motivational tool. My goal is to to feature each day with a photo and a poem that expresses my personal feelings, mood etc. A visual diary in a sense. I would love criticism both on my photos and poems. Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Maggie from California. This is my 4th year doing the 365...kinda petered out in the middle of last year but did really good the previous years. I have my own budding photography business on the weekends and work in an Orthodontic office during the week :) I have two kids, one is a senior in high school, the other a 2nd grader. I know how to plan alright.

Looking forward to seeing everyones pics!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everybody! I'm Claudia from the Netherlands. I started a week ago and so far, it's going great. I just bought a new camera and want to try all there's possible!
In a few weeks I'll go to Rome and more travelling will be on the horizon!
So let the learning begin :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Donna and I'm from Fairbanks, Alaska. I saw someone on another blog was doing this and decided to join. I joined a day late but still thought it would neat to see what everyone else's corner of the world looks like. I don't have a nice camera and don't know how to take great pictures but I'll do the best with what I have.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everybody! Happy new year!

I'm Maroussia, I'm 15 and I live in Paris. :)
I'd like to improve myself with 365 Project even if I don't have a great camera or a software (ah, I wish I could make bokeh)... Later, I'd like to travel all over the world taking photos of everything I see and publish books!
It looks so fun! With this project we pay more attention to our world!
So I wanna learn about taking photos from all of you! Let me know if something's wrong with my pictures please! ^^
January 2nd, 2012
Hey! My name is Jazmine and I'm from Georgia [in the US!]. I've been wanting to take up Project 365 for about 2 years now, but for certain circumstances I couldn't quite start. SO finally I decided to get started, and what better way to start than the New Year! I don't have the best camera, but its working. My first picture is already up! I'm ready to see what this year has in store!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone! I'm Gail...from Indiana. Stumbled across 365 a couple of weeks ago and it took me that long to decide if I really wanted to commit to it. My biggest fear is my lack of skill/knowlege but that wont improve if I don't take chances....so here I am. Challenging myself for 2012.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello. I'm Debbi and live in upstate NY. I just recently got a decent DSLR so am looking forward to posting pictures and learning more this way. I'm still learning and hope this improves my photography skills. I really welcome any feedback and critique on my pictures.
January 2nd, 2012
Helllo Alll!! :)
Im Becky, 22 and from Bedfordshire, UK!

Im currently studying specialist photography at college, finishing in March time (I think).. Ive done a 365 project before but I didnt really push myself on it.. So this is a task for me now.. Im using a canon 550D and am still getting used to manual settings.. Auto is so much easier haha
So yeah! Follow me if you fancy it! :) x
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone! My names Ashley, this is my first 365 project after watching several other people complete theirs over the last couple of years.

Please check out my first few images, let me know how i can improve them and i look forward to seeing everyone elses projects.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Sarah from Michigan.
Thought about doing a 365 project before but didn't think I could fulfill the commitment. Decided to give it a try. Here goes!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all, I’m Lucy and I live in Hampshire in the UK. My friend and I have decided to give this a go this year. I’ve been taking photos for about 10 years or so but never done a photo a day before. Just posted my 2nd photo. Yesterday it seemed easy and exciting, today it seems more daunting! Up for the challenge though!
January 2nd, 2012
HI - I am Carol from Maine. I'm a middle school teacher - NOT a photographer so these are just for fun!
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Jenn, from SW Ontario, Canada. :)
This is my second 365, but first at this site. This site will be more of a photo + journal, so I can keep it separate from the rest of my photography. (www.jennwilson.com)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all, I'm Ruud from the Netherlands. I started developing a passion for photography last year and I'm doing this 365 project to learn a lot about photography and have lots of fun. I know it's going to be challenging but I'm sure the results at this time next year will be worth it.

Looking forward seeing lots of images and meeting people around here.
January 2nd, 2012
@naomi Hello - I'm Sharon from London. I did a 365 project on my facebook page last year and just loved it. Some days it was easy, I saw something amazing and shot it, and other days I would have to go out and search for something. I loved the discipline of having to do it every day, and I learnt so much. I learned to open my eyes and look at whats around me.....discovered I love the different skies and I know it has made me a better photographer. I am now doing my second year, and heard about this site so thought it would be good to post on here as well. I love seeing everyone else's photos.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all, I am Caroline, I live in Warwickshire, UK. I am really hoping that 365project will help me develop my photography skills and hopefully make some new friends along the way. I hope that by December 2012 I will be able to see how my composition and general photo knowledge have improved. :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone!! I am Emma from Manchester, England. My fiance and I decided to do the 365 project alongside one another this year because this is the year we finally become husband and wife. Therefore we are using it to document our experience over the course of the year. I am really excited about it and at the same time I am hoping to learn some more about photography there is some great talent on here!! :D

Bye for now,

Emma. xx
January 2nd, 2012
Hi all! I'm Chad from Denver, Colorado. I'm not properly new cause I started the project last year and about two months in got waylaid by other things and let it slide. Well I'm back for another go. I loved the community and all the things I learned about photography last year and I look forward to learning even more this year and meeting more cool people from all around the world...oh yea, and actually finishing this time.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello! I'm Donna from Tampa and I just joined this site. I love taking pictures and figured this would give me something to focus on and hopefully learn a few things along the way.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone! I guess I can't really be classed as new as I've been doing this for 53 days, but as yet haven't really had a look around the whole site. I would love to learn more about photography (getting a real camera for Christmas should kick start me, but 365project will teach me more than I could ever figure out for myself). Anyway, I'm Ruth and live in Norwich, UK.

There are loads of fantastic pictures on here, now just to make time to look over them all...
January 2nd, 2012
Hello there!

I'm Ashley from Oxford and I have only just been introduced to this site, which is a shame because I absolutely love taking photographs. I have been rather lax of late so I figured this would be an awesome way to get me back into the habit!

Who knows I might even turn this into a book of sorts at the end of the year!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone - I am Linda from Basingstoke, UK, and started this project yesterday with my sister. I'm hoping this project will help me to discover how I would like my photography to progress and to develop my own style. I'm looking forward to making new friends to share knowledge and experiences as well as to give support and encouragement.
January 2nd, 2012
Hey there! My name is Court and I'm from Arkansas. I have decided to take the 365 challenge, focusing solely on the animals I share my home with. Although I live with a house full of rescues, I still believe it will eventually become a test to not become redundant... I'm up for the challenge, though!
January 2nd, 2012
Hi y'all! I'm Angela from Georgia. Like a lot of you, I've been toying around with the idea for a couple of years and finally took the first step! I am really looking to expand my knowledge base and push myself to learn more.. not only about photography, but about myself. At 36, it's high time! :) Good luck to everyone pursuing this project!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone. I'm Laura from Holywood in Northern Ireland. I heard about this from some people on Facebook and started yesterday.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone, I'm Clare from Norwich, UK. I love taking photos and spend most of my spare time looking through a lens!! I have so many pics but I am only now starting to do things with them. I heard about this website and thought it would be a great place for me to share my pics. I'm looking for comments, both good and bad, to help me improve on my hobby. I'm looking forward to searching through all the fantastic art work on here.

Keep up with the challenge guys :)

Hi! I'm Patricia from Phoenix, Ariz. I love photography and trying to get better at it! Thought this 365 Project would be fun and helpful to learn more.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi there, I just read an email asking what are your photography goals for 2012. several people mentioned the 365 day challenge, and since i take pics 365 days a year anyhow, i thought i'd sign up. i got a new camera for my birthday in may, and still am learning how to use it. its my first camera without "settings" I have enjoyed photography for several years now, but this camera is a little challenging to say the least. i live in the country outside of indy, so most of my stuff is taken here at home. i love wildlife, clouds, and flowers, bugs, etc. also love taking candid shots of people. i am 57 years old and grandmother of 3, mother of 3, and wife to 1 hubby.

Hello everyone!

I'm Fraulein Angela from San Jose, CA. So, this is a NEW hobby of mine to continue to do each day since I wanted a NEW goal for the new year to bring. Since I've spent so much time taking photos of food, friends, families, and random things, why not post it as a daily project through the things that I do each day. Fantastic way to remember things through a year and reflect on how you spent it! :]

Hi all. I'm Amy from Kansas in the US. I did a 365 project a few years ago and loved or hated it, depending on how busy my schedule kept me. It was a big challenge but now I look back on those images and love how they tell the story of that year. I know I will find inspiration here from all of you and look forward to seeing your work.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi, I'm Gene from Florida. This is my first 365 project, and I'm really excited to get started and become a part of this community.

Hi All
My name is Jas from London! I got my nikon D3000 in 2010 and love it! I can't put it down and take it everywhere! I wanted to share my pictures with everyone and so I decided to join and show the world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I will in taking them.
Great to see others who enjoy photography too!!!!

I am Beth from Wyoming. I currently live in California though. (I hate saying I'm from California, because I'm not.) I just got a new camera to go along with my budding interest in photography. I decided to keep a 365 album this year for my family because I am really bad about developing my photos and putting them in albums. I figured I could do it this way also to share with family. I decided that my 365project will be more than just family. I hope that it is a way to help me learn more about taking awesome photos and using more creativity. I am really looking forward to pushing myself outside the comfort of point and shoot.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello! I'm Linda from California. I signed up at 365project.com to develop my photography skills and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

January 2nd, 2012
Hello, I'm Heather from WisCo. I have heard of 365 projects and decided that I would try one this year. Of course my everyday camera is out of commission at the moment, so I am using my iphone for now. I have a few older film cameras that I will eventually use for my project, but probably not until it warms up and I snap more than one photo a week. A roll of film lasts a long time when I am stuck indoors, hiding from the cold and in financial rehab after the holidays. I generally tend to take a lot of landscape, outdoor shots, so I am hoping that this project will take me out of my comfort zone. I am super excited to see what this site is all about and to learn some new skills; for that reason, I am not setting a theme...of course if I get into a rut, I may have to pick a weekly/monthly theme...only time will tell.
January 2nd, 2012
Hi everyone,

I am currently in London, UK but am relocating to the Gambia in 5 days which is the reason I decided to start 365. One of my friends started 365 a year ago and loves it, still uploads superb pictures so I decided to copy her and share some of my snaps. This year promises to be different and I wanted somewhere to keep a log of this brand new adventure. I hope you will like it :)
January 2nd, 2012
Hi All,
My name is Joanne. Now that I have retired, I have the time and the opportunity to learn more about a lot of things and photography is near the top of my list. Maybe I will finally figure out all the amazing things my camera can do. I live on the coast of Massachusetts so expect a lot of sea and sand. Looking forward to learning from everyone.
January 2nd, 2012
Kim
Hi, I'm Kim, from Wisconsin. A friend of mine started this project last year and challenged me to give it a try this year. I am looking forward to reenforcment of the photography skills I have learned and excited to learning new tips and tricks. There is a lot of talent on this sight and enjoy seeing the creative ideas everyone has. The first challenge will be coming up with daily photo ideas in a (so far) snowless winter.
January 2nd, 2012
I'm Karen from Waverly, Virginia. I live in an old farmhouse that's part of a small farm. I did a photo a day project some years ago and really enjoyed it. So, when a Facebook friend mentioned she was part of this, I thought I would join up. There seem to be wonderful photos everywhere I look. I'm also looking to do something fun online besides work ;-) And finally I'm hoping to improve my photo skills. Thanks for the great welcome!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello everyone. I'm Crystal from Culver City, CA. Like many of you here, I am looking to enhance my photography skills. I'm just a step beyond beginner, but at least I know what I like in other people's photos, so that's a good start, in my opinion. I hope I have the discipline to keep this up. Since last summer, I have had the discipline to take the camera with my dogs to the local dog park every weekend I'm home. I captured pictures of more than 250 local canines. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the eye candy from you guys!
January 2nd, 2012
Hello Everyone!

I'm Danielle, and I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I'm really excited for my first 365 project, and for the most part I want to try using my lomography camera as much as I can. I love everything vintage and I can think of a better way to explore my passion for photography.

Happy snapshotting!!!

Hi all.

I'm not new, I started my project back mid January last year and got half way through it and stopped. Well tut tut is all I can say to myself. I really want to complete it this time round.

Any I shall introduce myself. I'm Kirsty from Glasgow, Scotland. Love my camera but last year went through a rut and lost interest. This year I'm going to relax a lot more and not take it so seriously and just have plain fun. Some shots may be boring to you unfortunately as I don't get out much but working on that.

Have FUN!!!!!!
January 2nd, 2012

Hey everyone! I'm Ashley from Charlotte, NC. I stumbled on this site a while back somehow and I've always loved the idea of a 365 project. I started one last year on a blog but lost inspiration and motivation so it got dropped about halfway through. This site however seems like a perfect way to keep me accountable and I'm always finding new pictures that are fantastic! I'm excited to see what my photo journal will look like a year later :)

January 2nd, 2012
I am Jules. This is my first year. I wanted to do this to improve my photography skills, think outside the box and try to be more active. My shots will be boring to a lot because I don't have cute kids to photograph but I am going to try to do my best! I live in the Birmingham, AL area but I am originally from Georgia.
January 2nd, 2012
Hello all! I found this site via a very helpful person called Em on twitter! One of the people i follow so check her out!

I'm a photographer by day and have toyed with the idea of doing one of these for a while and figured 2012 would be the year i give it a go!

My shots are going to a mix of all kinds of types/genres from a wide range of cameras! Feel free to give me a follow and the odd comment/critique on my pictures! Looking forward to making some new friends and looking at lots of photos!
January 2nd, 2012

Hi, I'm Paul, a certified NEWBY from Tennessee. I'm a Santa Clause look-a-like who loves to take outdoor pictures. The reason I picked this site is a little different than most of you. I want to chronicle my day-to-day activity in pictures so that at the end of the year I have reminders of times that can never be relived, but can be enjoyed over and over again. I'm 66 years old, married to Judi, my love of 36 years. We have 2 children, Rachel and John, and 4 grand children, ALL BOYS.

Hiya everybody - I live the Seattle area & I don't have photography skills compared to other folks on here but I know a picture can speak 1000 words & I'm curious to chronicle what my story will be.
January 3rd, 2012
Hello...
I'm based in Seattle and France. I'm here to see if I can actually stick to the project. 366 photos in 366 days - quite a challenge.

January 3rd, 2012
Hello! I live in Lancaster, PA. I like to take pictures, but am just a beginner. I do a lot of scrapbooking and I use my photos for that purpose! I am looking forward to this daily challenge and I hope I choose to really think about the pictures that I take! I wonder what will show up in 2012??
January 3rd, 2012

I am brand new here. I am a photographer and art teacher. Originally from Martha's Vineyard, I lived in NYC for a few years, and now the North Shore of Mass/southern NH.
The past year was one of the most tumultuous and crazy year of my life, and I am starting fresh with hope and joy.
Im very excited to see how this all end up!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi! I get the impression there aren't a lot of Australians involved in this site... is that true, or have I just not seen them yet? :) I'm in my twenties, from QLD, Australia and I just bought a DSLR! I'm keen to learn as much as I can about it, so I can take great photos of everyday events and people. I love life and I love capturing joy and beauty on camera and sharing that with others.
January 3rd, 2012
Hi all!! Im new as well, day #2 for me. I live in Seattle ( born and raised ) love taking pictures and hope to learn a ton more over the upcoming year. So far everyone has been very welcoming and nice. Can't wait to get settled in.
January 3rd, 2012
Hello everyone!

My name is Ricco, a current college student stationed in Washington, D.C. I took a course in photography during my final year of high school, and found myself taking photos ever since. I heard of this project from both my teacher and friends, and figured that it would be fine to actually finish something. Hopefully my shots will get noticed, but even if they don't, I think this will be an interesting experience.
January 3rd, 2012
Hi! A few of my friends signed up to do this so I thought I'd take the challenge as well. I will mostly be using my iphone for most of my photos, otherwise, I also have an old casio digital camera I inherited from my sister. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can keep this up. Cheers!
January 3rd, 2012
I have three days left to my project and it still amazes me to see so many from so far away and some so close. Welcome to you all! I plan on continuing for another year. :)
January 3rd, 2012
Hello all! I'm John Dupre Jr from San Antonio. I've been into photography for as long as I can remember but I've been pretty lazy with it lately. I am hoping that doing a 365 projects will bring back the spark that I once had. I look forward to posting and sharing with everyone.
January 3rd, 2012
@ashleej There are actually quite a few. This is my third year and there are a few awesome ones I follow. You should look through their photos and see if you like them. http://365project.org/jodogz/profile http://365project.org/liipgloss/profile http://365project.org/bobfoto/profile

Hi
I am Sheila and I live in Oklahoma. I have always loved taking pictures but never really did anything serious with it. My husband was in the Airforce for 15 years and one of our tours we were stationed in Alaska. We were there 4 years. The first year of living in Alaska, I bought a Canon Rebel XTI, loved it! The scenery in Alaska was amazing. When I moved back to the states, I upgraded my camera to a Canon 60D. So I decided to join this board, so that I could keep myself motivated in using this new camera. Looking foward to seeing everyones work.

Hello. I joined sometime last month, but decided to start on the 1st. I have a Canon EOS 30D in which I found in a park and could never locate the owner(though I tried!). I live in Florida and am really excited to learn more about my camera and the amazing things it can do.
January 3rd, 2012

January 3rd, 2012
Hello everyone! I'm John from Northern California. I've always wanted to get into photography, but up until about a year ago never did much to develop my skills or creative eye. I've read a lot of books and blogs in the past year and have finally developed a basic understanding of digital photography. Now I want to really put in some focused effort towards developing my camera technique and my photographic vision and have always heard that doing a 365 day project is a great way to do that so I started this project on January 1. Feel free to comment on my photos if you'd like. Constructive criticism is always appreciated!
January 3rd, 2012
Hello, everyone calls me Ashweenie, long story. I'm more of a computer graphic than a photography person but I like capturing memories. My sister in law told me about this and we both decided to join as of the first. I'm super excited!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi Yall! I joined today. I am addicted to taking pics. They arent always good pics, but its all about learning. I live in the Fort Knox, Kentucky area, and have 4 wonderful subject to take pics of. Looking forward to seeing what will be created in the next year.
January 3rd, 2012
Hi wonderful people!
My name is Rocio and i'm from Argentina ! I've always been interested in photography, but i've never taken it too serious; so now im decided to improve my skills ! thanks that i can join you ! i would love to receive any advice. I dont have a special subjet ... YET! lets see what happens next! but for now it's my DAILY LIFE, the magical and important moments or objects.
January 3rd, 2012
Well, hello! I basically signed up for a couple of reasons. I love photography(obviously, right?!), had a photography project of my own last year that I completed and felt empty with nothing to do (not that two jobs and a family isn't enough...but nothing for "me"), and thought this may help me learn the technical parts of my camera that I have failed to make myself learn before. Looking forward to learning, looking at other's photos, being inspired, and of course seeing the end result. Hoping I stay encouraged and don't quit....
January 3rd, 2012
Hello!

I'm Gera from the Philippines. In case you haven't heard of it yet, my country's in South East Asia. You should come and enjoy the islands in summer or go over any time and experience the hospitality of Filipinos!

Anyway, like what @Naomi said, there are many newbies for sure, and I am one of them! I've been into photography since I was in the university, with the film/B&W SLR. I am not a serious photographer, if ever there's a category as such, but take my photography seriously. Not making sense, eh?! haha. I'm just saying that I like taking photographs of almost anything. Most of my photo collection includes food (yum!), road sides and skies (I went on field work/land trips/air trips), many places and beaches. I'm using Ditri (Nikon D3000 bought in July 2010) and Ti-es (Lumix TS/FT 10) and Goddess (Nokia e72) in taking snaps. I look forward to completing this challenge (something I have always wanted to do but got the chance only now) and showing you my side of the world.

Happy wandering and snapping!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi guys. I am Amanda from Mississippi. I love photography, and that is one of my favorite online haunts. BUT, I wanted to join 365 for a couple of reasons; 1. The responsibility of being required to take photos every day; 2. I desperately want to improve my photography; and 3. I have made a commitment to myself to only shoot these photos in RAW and MANUAL, and this will make me take those photos. PLEASE comment, suggest...etc Lets talk photography!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi, I am Diana and I currently live in Florida though in two weeks I will be moving to Okinawa, Japan. I am an Air Force wife, and SAHM who has a passion for photography.

Hi, I am Wendy. I recently re-located from California to New Zealand where I work as a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor. I am not a photographer, but I am making a concerted erffort to take more pictures and to make a permanent memory bank for myself and my family.

My project for this year is to chronicle food. Every day is about finding something yummy to eat, right? So I thought I would record one tasty treat for every day of the year. I am not a cook or a chef, just someone who enjoys the good things that life has to offer. Cheers!
January 3rd, 2012
Hola! I am from VA and GA, USA - but currently I'm on a year long around-the-world travel adventure! I decided to add in a 365 project to improve my art, photography and post-processing skills. It is also a good way to become more observant and to lose my shyness about pulling out my camera in front of others!

I have read a lot about how great the community and support is on this site - can't wait to make new friends!
January 3rd, 2012
Hello one and all. I am from southwest Virginia, USA. I love to take pictures. Hope to get better at it, but know that regardless I will enjoy taking part in this project simply because I will get to look back at what I have done at the end of the year. I am also thrilled to get to look at other peoples pictures. If I don't die of jealousy, maybe I will learn a thing or two from them! I have already been thrilled at what I have seen others do!
January 3rd, 2012
Hola! Im yessica. I have become a photography lover since i got my new camera two years ago. I live in Dallas, Tx originally from Panama (central America).
Im always taking pictures anyway...so why not joing this org!
I need to improve my skills and become aware of lighting and composition at all time. I have a graphic design background so I enjoy post-processing my pics.
I have a busy life so i hope to clomplish this journey with better skills!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi guys. :) My name's Toni and I'm livin' here in Pennsylvania. I wanted to do this because I wanted to work on photography. I wanted to make sure that I improved and I figured the only way to get better is to actually take pictures and what better way to take pictures than to make myself do a 365 project?
I also wanted to have fun and this looks like a great deal of fun.
January 3rd, 2012
Hello! Happy New Year! I am from Virginia. My project is to capture 365/ 366 beautiful sunsets which occure over the salt marsh. They are always beautiful, sometimes spectacular, and very diverse. Cheers!

@naomi

Hey! I'm Emily and I live in the Dallas area. I'm a senior in high school hoping to major in psychology. I love photography, but I've never really given it all that much time before, and I'd like to develop my skills and maybe learn some new things, as well as learning to see the world differently and slow down and smell the figurative roses. The next few months are going to be hectic, to say the least, so I don't know how well I'll be able to keep up, but I'll certainly try!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi! I am Danielle and live in the suburbs of Chicago. I love photography, although I am not very good at it. I thought it would be a great challenge and wonderful experience to take a photo a day for 2012...maybe my skills will improve! I am excited to see everyone's amazing pictures.
January 3rd, 2012
@naomi Hi everyone Im new in here an also in photography. Im from Puerto Rico and since september 2011 i wanted to start the 365 2012 is here lets the fun beging :) P.S. How do i upload my personal profile picture?
January 3rd, 2012
Hi! I'm Mika - I'm from Los Angeles, CA. Last year, for a couple months I did a 365 project. I always wished I'd started on New Years. (Along with actually finishing it.) So I decided this year to do it but make it simple. Last year I spent a ton of time going through photos, editing, etc. It was just too time consuming. (This was on flickr.) This year I found 365project and decided the limitation to one photo per day might encourage me to keep it simple. I won't be creating new albums to show all the other photos - it's just one and that's it! I'm hoping to hone my photography skills and also journal my year. It'll be a little of both. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
January 3rd, 2012
Hi, I'm Javada. I live in the Texas panhandle. My friend showed me the website and we decided to join for 2012. I love photography and would love to improve my skills and learn how to use my new camera better! Come on over to my page for a visit, I'd be happy to return the favor :)

Any positive criticism, tips, help, or ideas are ALWAYS welcome!
January 3rd, 2012

Thanks, Melissa

Hey I'm Matt and I'm from the armpit of America, aka, New Jersey. I'm 18 years old and a college student studying chemical engineering. I started a project 365 on flickr last year as part of my new years resolution to use my camera more often. Well, I only got through 6 months...which in my opinion, was pretty damn good. I'm not a professional. I rarely take photographs but I really wanted to start again. My friend Tarynn convinced me to start one again with her for the new years so we both started a project 365 and are going to push each other to get it done! Hope I make the full 365 days this time around!

Hey! I have been intrested in photography and have taken a class on it, but I mainly joined this site to document the day by day life that I have so at the end of the year I have a "photo album." I am from small town North Dakota.... :) Hope to make some friends and have tons of fun on this site...as well as take up some photography techniques. :)

Hi I'm Cindy, I live in New York City and I joined because I want to do something creative every day. Love taking pictures and I know this would be a good way for me back into my artistic life.

Hi All: I'm Angela, from Michigan. I wanted to do something creative as well, but I am not a photographer. At least, I'm not putting myself out as a photographer. I like to take random pictures with my camera. They are not artsy like some of the really nice photos I have seen here. But I am interested in all photos here from "this beautiful sunset" to "here's my favorite socks."

Hi all!!! My name is Elizabeth! I enjoy taking photographs and saw a friend post something about the 365 project and after researching it myself it sounded interesting. I am excited to start this adventure and learn some tricks with photography.

Hi, Tony from Amarillo, Texas. I've been into photography since the early 80s, but got out of it for awhile after I got married as the film and processing were too expensive for me at that point in my life. Got back into photography a few years ago, first with P&S's, then with the DSLRs I have now - Sony a100 and a300. Been shooting with them for about three years now.
Always looking to improve myself, and have committed to doing a shot a day for the year. I've already got myself a preset list of subjects to shoot, now it's just a matter of keeping to my commitment :)
Anyways, glad to be here, hope to make some new friends along the way :)

Hi everyone I'm Tamera I found the site because I've decided to do my own 365 project to help me push my creativity and help me further my photography knowledge and expand my current horizons. I'm very excited to push myself this year I hope my creative juices don't dry up on me! I'm always up for new friends! Any C&C is welcome & please follow me, and I'll do likewise!
January 3rd, 2012
I'm Dani from Victoria in Australia. I decided to join as I have had my DSLR for a number of months now & I'm not using it as much as I should be. So thought this would be a great way to take more pics with it & learn more about the camera & some new techniques!

Hello everyone! :) I'm Krizia. I'm from the Philippines (Manila, to be exact).
I'm a Literature major, and I graduated last March, but literature and words are definitely not the only art form I appreciate and love.
I joined 365/366 because I wanted to challenge myself and my perspectives. I wanted to be more observant and see everyday things from new points of view and from different angles than I probably would have if I didn't have this project of taking a photo every day.

I do have a DSLR, and I will be using it once in a while for 365/366, but considering how I want to see everyday things from not-so-everyday perspectives, I think most of my photos will be from my iPhone, because it's way more portable and convenient than lugging my DSLR around. :)

Open to constructive criticism and comments! Good luck with your own projects! :)

Hi my name is Lisa and I joined on the 1st :) I am from Christchurch in New Zealand, and have just moved up here from Dunedin, but am originally from England.
A friend of mine on Facebook, who is a photographer, had put a link on her page to this project that she just started this year, and I had a look and thought it would be interesting! I did photography at school, and am very in to taking photos, but mainly just personal ones for memories of what I have been up to!
I though this would be an exciting way to take different kinds of photos. I've had a tough past couple of years, so I'm using this project as a way of stopping and thinking about one special thing in each day, and really thinking about the positives, and the things that I am doing in my day. I think this is a great way to document these, and also to see what other people are up to!
Sorry, that was a bit of a long explanation!!
But I look forward to really taking part in this over the next year, and maybe even make some new friends as well!

Hi, I'm Wendy and I live just outside of Seattle, WA. I am new to photography and wanted a way to document how my pictures taking skills evolve throughout the year. I have a Canon 40D and just got a new lens for Christmas that I LOVE...the 50mm/1.8. Please follow me and comment away...I am looking for any advice that people want to offer. :-)
January 3rd, 2012
@vinkir we all start somewhere. And what a honor it is to see someone grow as a photographer. Good luck stay dedicated and take your camera with you everywhere. You never know what you'll find.

Hi, I'm GIllian, I enjoy taking photos but have no great skill at it ! None the less I wanted to give 365 (or 366 this year?) a go partly to make me pick up my camera more. Good luck to all

Hi folks. I'm from Perth in West Australia and I've joined 365 to try and get the most out of a camera that is a/more expensive than I can really afford and b/beyond my current skill set. Oh well, the only way to overcome both of those problems is to use the camera as much as humanly possible :-) My initial hope is to improve my photography so I'm aiming to not tweak the shot before I post it. (Is that called Straight Out Of Camera?). That may change some months down the track but I want to start by getting the most out of my camera before i start improving my Abode skills.

My name is Mark and i live in Bristol in the UK. I am a stand-up comedian and do a bit of tv warm-up. I spend most of my life working, sleeping or eating. I dont't think i can figure out how to take photos of myself while i sleep, but there will be alot of photos of me working and eating. I can't promise beauty but i can promise a slightly unusual set of pics.

Hello 365!
Joined in on the fun around the 31st of December. I reside in the Northern Virginia area. I love photography, especially macro. I would definitely consider myself an amateur but have learned alot from experimentation. Thank goodness for digital photography, I can't imagine the amount of film I would have wasted with my "experiments"! I am always trying to break the rules of reason, what doesn't, won't or can't or isn't suppose to work, I try to find a way to make it work. Or at least make it look like it worked. So sit back, and enjoy the ride . . . It's about to get interesting!

I'm Emily from Manchester, UK. I'm studying photography but want to have a bit more fun with images rather than just 'working' with them. Enjoy! :)

Hello all
I'm Shaza from Northern NSW Australia. Joined 3rd January. Been watching a friend & colleague post photos on 365 for the past 12 months and thought I'd give it a go. Don't own any fancy cameras, but keen to see firstly if I can complete the project & secondly if my photography improves.
Time will tell!

Aloha! I'm Jaime, currently living in Hawaii. I joined the site a bit over a week ago when I purchased my first DSLR a Nikon D3100. I am so excited about finally having a camera and learning more about photography! That is why I joined this site. I really want to stick to the challange of taking pictures everyday and uploading to the site the one I like the best. I am really hoping to get some good feedback from others so that I can work on improving my skills. So please follow me if you are interested.
I am a SAHM of a 2 year old and with living in such a beautiful place I figure I really shouldn't have any excuses of not having something to photograph. However I will try not to post pictures of my boy everyday although I probably take pictures of him everyday.
One challenge I have is getting out of the house and taking pictures with a 2 year-old in tow. It is a challenge to take pictures and keep track of a highly energetic kid. Are there other parents of toddlers out there that have any advice on this one?

Helloo! My Names Amy, and I'm currently residing in the UK. Every year I think about doing a year in photographs, and every year, I forget. So this time, I'm determined!
So, hi!

Hello all - I am a newbie to this project but definitely not a newbie to photography. Was looking for a new way to push myself and DPS pointed me here. So I'm jumping in - first pic is uploaded from yesterday. I'm a full-time pastor and see photography as a way to grow deeper in my faith - you can check out some of my other work at imagoscriptura.com

Hey guys and girls!

Names Cam (only Cameron when am in trouble!) always wanted to start a photography project so thought I’d test myself! A friend Ross suggested this and here I am!
Can’t promise there won’t be a cheeky iPhone shot amongst the “proper” shots (infact my first shot is a phone shot) but hey the best camera is the one you have with you!!!!

Anyway hello! Look forward to seeing everyone’s memories!
