I<\/span> feel like there should be theme music to this post, but I can’t decide if it’s a triumphant fanfare or something more ominous. Yes, it’s true, I’m back on the Project 365 bandwagon again.<\/p>\n

I’ve been considering it for a while. The Thousand Picture project was great, but there wasn’t enough pressure for me to take a daily picture and I’d gone weeks without lifting my camera when things got truly hectic from September to November. (And man am I glad I wasn’t doing a 365 during those months because truly? I never would have made it through.) <\/p>\n

Another reason that I faltered a bit with my pictures, I think, is that during most of my 365 I worked downtown in what is probably the most photogenic area of the city, smack dab in the middle of Parliament Hill and the Byward Market. I mean really, I could point my camera in just about any direction on my way to or from work and come away with a good image. And while my current office is a million times more convenient, it’s an equally exponential amount less photogenic.<\/p>\n

Conveniently, however, I just happened to have recently moved to an incredibly photogenic neighbourhood, with a house that is bathed in delicious natural light. So I traded photogenic work for photogenic home — that seems fair! <\/p>\n

And, that was about all the encouragement I needed. Well, that and the convenience of taking, processing and posting photos through my precious iPhone.<\/p>\n

So, here we are again. I think this 365 will be a little more, um, relaxed than the previous one. As in, a picture will be posted every day, but there may be days when the picture was actually taken a few days before. My project, my rules! Also, I will not be quite so hard on myself when it comes to what makes a “worthy” picture of the day. They don’t all have to be masterpieces, and in fact, I’m looking for more simple documentation than fine art this time around, especially when time is short. <\/p>\n

Last but not least, I didn’t think the regular blog fodder would hurt. I missed posting my daily pictures in weekly round-ups. Once I decided that yes, I was indeed silly enough to embark on this adventure yet again, I counted back and realized I’d posted a shot every day since December 23, so I gave myself a 11-day head start. Now I’ve only got 354 days to go! <\/p>\n

Always start with the cute, the rest will follow:<\/p>\n

\"1:365<\/a><\/p>\n

From the Christmas Eve photo project:<\/p>\n

\"2:365<\/a><\/p>\n

This was the picture that finally swayed me into deciding to try this again. Expect to see copious amounts of Watson’s Mill pictures here in the coming months!<\/p>\n

\"3:365<\/a><\/p>\n

This one caught me by surprise. I was coming up the stairs from the basement just as the sun was setting, shining through the front door and making shadows of both the wreath on the outside and the hanging decorations on the inside. This is almost straight out of the camera.<\/p>\n

\"5:365<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the locomotive at the Museum of Science and Technology. I have taken dozens of pictures of this thing over the years and liked none of them — and the one I adore was a quick snap with my iPhone. Go figure!<\/p>\n

\"6:365<\/a><\/p>\n

Taken through my bedroom window! Chickadees on a lilac bush. You think I can train them to eat seed from our hands?<\/p>\n

\"7:365<\/a><\/p>\n

More Watson’s Mill. I waited for about 15 minutes in the early morning cold, watching from the bridge and hoping the clouds would obscure the sun in just this manner!<\/p>\n

\"8:365<\/a><\/p>\n

My mother’s holiday table. I loved the greens, and the soft focus. One of those “just because” shots that makes me happy when I look at it.<\/p>\n

\"9:365<\/a><\/p>\n

More cuteness!<\/p>\n

\"11:365<\/a><\/p>\n

These, plus a couple of other pictures I’ve already blogged about in the past week or so, are the beginning of what I hope is 365 days of new challenges and moments captured. <\/p>\n
