the big picture.
Due to my overwhelming boredom with LJ,
I've created a sort of side project for myself.
I stole the idea from the "Featured Journals" section earlier tonight.
There's a group where the users post one picture of their life a day.
I thought the idea sounded neat, and after reading the description I was sold.
However, I'm sick of communities taking over my friends page.
So I went ahead and just made my own journal for this project.

I'd be thrilled if someone else wanted to do this project with me,
I just think it'd be neat to compare each others pictures over time.
And I can't even imagine the coolness factor of digging it up ten years from now.
If you need a little more convincing here's what made me want to do it:
Why do it?
Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider doing it: Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!) Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast. Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.
AND BTW:
I just got the biggest craving in the world for McDonalds Sausage Gravy & Biscuits.
They need to bring that shit back, pronto.
