T365 Day 1 of 365: Cumbrian Reflections
Happy New Year!
I have a few New Year resolutions floating about in my head, but two of them are to take photos more frequently and to make one final attempt at ensuring fahrbotzdotcom doesn’t become ghost town central. On New Year’s morning (well, if I’m honest, it was actually New Year’s afternoon), I woke up to an invite from a friend on Twitter to participate in the Twitter 365 Project on flickr:
“A group of Tweeters undertaking the 365 project in 2009. Submit a photo for each day with yourself in the photo somewhere!”
I signed up on the iPhone over the wonderful GPRS connection O2 afforded me up at Highhouses, which took forever and then struggled to get my T-Mobile N95 to connect my laptop to the net with much fail. In the end, I figured the easiest route was to move the photo taken with my camera from laptop to iPhone and to ShoZu it to flickr. The joys of mobile internet in the back of beyond.
A rule of the project: “All you have to do is post a PHOTO each day for 365 days. To commit to the full project, they should all be self-portraits, but you can still participate by posting a PHOTO that YOU have taken each day”. Don’t expect my mugshot on a daily basis, as I wouldn’t wish that on any of you, especially on ME! However, part of me will feature in each shot some way. I’m aiming for self-portrait combined with biographical. It should be an interesting journey.
The T365 project resolves one of my aims. As many people I know don’t follow me on Twitter or flickr, I’ve decided to crosspost each day’s photo here on fahrbotzdotcom. The second of the two resolutions I mentioned sorted. I promise to stick to both.
So here’s day one, which finds me outside the green door of a farmhouse at the top of hill on the very northern boundary of the Lake District. Temperature is about 2C below, but it’s a beautifully clear day out there, as you’ll see from the reflection in the glass.
