With some regret that I've missed several days of photographing for Project 365... I've decided to rename my project. I have revised my goal, and it is to take at minimum 15 meaningful photos a month. There may be more, but that's my official commitment. I really want to make a photo trail of days, but I realize that I'm also multi-tasking and I'll forget my camera (which is the case of why there's so many missing!)
I'm renaming my project: 2008 Photo Journal. I may go for the 365 next year. At the end of the year, I think I'll upload my pictures to something like picaboo.com and do a scrapbook. It will help put a memory back to a date - which is sometimes hard to do when it's just the mundane.

Project 365 update
I've uploaded my photos finally, January was somewhat incomplete so my project will be less then 365...I'm trying my best to keep up with this fun photo project!!
You can find what I've added in the 'Project 365' folder of our photo hosting site: http://familyof4faries.smugmug.com/ Email me or comment here w/ your email address for the password, I'm a little paranoid about cyberfreaks, so I've made it private it for that purpose. If you're already a smugmug member, I may have added you for access w/o requiring password.

Recharge
Ok - I made a commitment to do 'project 365' and failed to remember that I needed new rechargeable batteries. So - I go out, with my camera with regular batteries and just for future reference - not a good idea. Evidently cameras require batteries with super strength and we were able to snap about 8 photos at the airport before the batteries gave up. So - my 'Project 365' will officially start Monday when I can have some rechargeables in there and keep it with me for my picture a day project.
Not alot going on this weekend around our house, holidays are over and we have a holiday hangover so to speak (holiday gatherings, generally tired, after holiday cleanup, etc), so we decided to take another drive to the airport. It's only about a 20 min. drive for us, and the boys love the overlook and seeing the airplanes take off and land. I posted photos of this recently, but this weekend they had changed course on the landing strip and we really got some great photos of closeups on take-offs. Jesse is waving bye-bye as each and every plane leaves. We grabbed a treat and had our snacks while watching several land and take off. It was a nice way to spend a little time out of the house as a family today!
Waving 'bye' to all of the airplanes!

Project 365
I'm making a commitment for me. I have been reading a fellow blogger's feeds regularly, and she's inspired me to join in on Project 365. I think for personal reasons, as well as for journaling, this will be worth my time. Who doesn't have time to snap one photo a day? Just in effort to capture a memory. How many times do we forget the mundane? I want to embrace the mundane, it humbles me. I have started a smugmug.com subscription (not finished uploading - takes forever), not all of my entries will be journal entries - just photos. I plan to journal at least weekly and have at a short photo description listed with my photos, I may journal them in slideshow format if it's once a week. I love the suggestions on project 365.
Time flies, and so often I forget the little things in my life that made me smile on a particular day... or something new I may have done or tried. I need this for me, and my family... it's a documentary on it's own. After my brothers death, I've realized how precious pictures are ... they really do capture more then words can express. So, indulge me. I'm expecting no awards because I'm not a great photographer, and this is a personal project that I'm throwing myself at!
The first addition to my project is a photo of Jesse. I came around the corner with my camera, with all intentions of charging the batteries... to find him standing inside of the liftup seat on his sit and scoot car. He sat down and gave me a pose as if to plead with me that he was doing nothing wrong!!! Hilarious, and what a precious little puppy dog look!!
