Suggestion - Compare 2 years side by side

July 29th, 2011
Hello all,

I love my 365 project and im currently on my second year. There is something i really wish 365project site would offer. For us who are on our 2nd (or 3rd, 4th?) album, it would be great if you could click something and display the picture from 1 year ago next to the current one. I love the "diary" aspect of the project, and it is so interesting to think back to where you where exactly 1 year ago! I wonder if you could make that happen? Is there another place where I should be writing this? "suggestions" box or something?

Anyway, I do think this would be a fabulous idea and would be so happy to see it incorporated here!

Tag @scrivna so he can see your suggestion. He's the one who could make it happen.

Yeah, I've thought about that in the past, i'd like to show the actual picture maybe, not sure where to put it though.

@Scrivna Maybe another "view" button next to the magnifying glass and calendar view? Like a year view or side by side view?

This is a great idea!! I have done a collage of my first 100 photos and also of my second set of 100 photos as i'm curious to see my progression.
Here's the latest 100. I'm surprised when I look back at my images. I think in the beginning, I was shooting more staged shots (which I liked). Don't know if it's a bit of burn-out and lack of time, but my latest photos don't seem near as creative.

@mminterlandi I am keeping a journal on what I have posted so it will be interesting to see how this unfolds

@Marlene Chabot, I agree, it is nice to see how our photography skills and interests evolve too! I used to avoid photographing people at all costs....now i'll have a person here and there... :)

@Scrivna, next to the magnifying lens seems to make sense, then you would get 2 smaller photos side by side on the screen. Because of the proportions, it seems you could tile up to 4 photos, 2X2, meaning you could potentially see up to 4 years at once! Could be 2 squares side by side, or a little "365" button that would take you to 365 days ago
Or, I think you could maybe incorporate a set of up/down arrows the same way we have left/right. So up/down would jump to the same date a year before. Even if it is not displayed on the screen together. Although together would be cooler :)

Terrific collage @mackena. And I also think it a great idea to be able to view your same day shot of the previous year.

Ross has set up the URLs of each image so it's really easy to go back a year by changing the date in the URL. For example:
http://365project.org/sudweeks/365/2011-07-15 http://365project.org/sudweeks/365/2010-07-15

I do it all the time to see what I did in previous years.
