I decided to try a picture a day.....again. Few words, a visual memory at best. Plus I'll get to play with all my cameras (phone included) and learn a few things along the way.

Day 7/365
Thankful that it is November and I am still getting beautiful blooms. :-)
I found you through the link-up at Click It Up a Notch. My wife and I are in the process of creating a new feature at The Albums to help our members begin and finish a Project 365. So far the main thing we are hearing is that it feels overwhelming to get started and keep up with it. Do you have any thoughts about how we could make it easier?
I have done it in the past for 2 years straight! but this go round, I found it quite difficult to keep up and/or on track, although I do take a picture every.single.day. Things that worked for me in the past: having a buddy in the 'challenge' of it receiving prompts via text message twice a day for a particular assignment. i.e. Vertical lines; the color red; change focal point It kept me thinking and planning throughout my regular work day Using Shuttercal and having a calendar made it SO EASY Words of encouragement or simply knowing that someone may actually be looking at my pics Thinking of it as a visual diary and knowing I could look at any given picture and think back to that day and so on and so on and so on. :-)
It sounds like you have taking a picture a day down, but uploading is the difficult part.
I really like your tips of having a buddy and using a prompt to get in the habit of taking a photo a day. We were debating about adding a prompt so that was helpful to hear.
