I enjoy a good challenge. Currently I’m in the middle of my second “30 Day Challenge” with a group of friends who all wanted to push themselves to post to their blog once per day for an entire month. There’s no money on the line and there’s no penalty for missing a day. There’s just the shame and humiliation piled on you from your friends when you miss a day (you know who you are). So far, so good for me. I’m about half way through and going strong. But with the holiday coming up, I fear the tough part is still ahead.
I’m not one to be slowed by merely having too much on my plate. I tend to thrive in these conditions. That could be the only reason why I have decided to create a project that is far larger than simply blogging once a day. That’s child’s play compared to what I plan to try. My goal is to post one new photo every day for the entire year on my photo website, SlackerPhotos.com.
In the past I tried a photo-a-day project and failed after just one month. The reason it failed is because I was going about it the wrong way. I was trying to take a new photo each day. This quickly turned in to a rush at the end of the day to take a photo that wasn’t horrible. Each time I posted one of the photos I felt worse about the project, so finally I just stopped. This project should be easier to accomplish as my goal is to POST a photo-a-day. I’ve taken several thousand photos over the past year and I’ll be able to pre-schedule photos to post on the site each day. I believe this will give me the leeway I need to be able to succeed with this project.
I recently gave SlackerPhotos.com a make-over with a new template. I removed some of the photos that I had posted before and it’s all set for it’s re-launch on January 1st. Subscribe to the RSS feed to receive a new photo each day. And, if I miss a day, feel free to mock me in whichever way you deem appropriate.
Do you have any project plans for 2009?
