This project started at the beginning of 2011 ( I first heard about it over at klsbear.wordpress.com). I joined in during March – almost three months in – in the hope that it would encourage me to take more pictures, and that practice would help me to improve my photography skills.
It became a treasure hunt of sorts; I had moments of absolute joy in coming across surprise scenes that would be perfect for one of the words, and I had times of great frustration in not feeling creative enough to find anything to fit some of the themes.
I did learn along the way, too. I learned about photography, and I learned about how kind and supportive people are on the internet. There’s a lot of us about, all experimenting with being creative and all learning from each other.
I didn’t manage anything close to the 365. My final count was just over 130, but I’m happy with that. I’d definitely do it again next year.
So here’s the list.
The coloured links are those that I managed to complete; click there to see how I interpreted that theme.
