High Speed Photography



Project 365: Take a photo a day for a year

project%20365.png

Photography web site Photojojo suggests documenting your life by taking a photo every day for a year; they call it Project 365. The author gives a few reasons why you might want to do this, most compelling to me being:

Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.

At first I thought the idea was along the lines of the popular YouTube video where the girl takes a picture of herself every day for three years, but it's actually broader than that. You take a picture of anything (the Photojojo post suggests varying your themes) and post it somewhere (like Flickr) where you can keep all 365 of your photos.

As photo uploading gets easier and cameraphones get better, the commitment required to do something like this isn't that bad. Alternatively, if you have a webcam or something along those lines on your computer (like an iSight), going the picture of yourself every day route seems even easier. So if either of these ideas trip your trigger, it's time to get documenting.

If you've ever taken on similar photo-documenting projects, share them with your fellow life hackers in the comments.

Why Blogging is better...........

At Future Buzz Adam Singer gives a great list of reasons why Blogging should be given priority over Twitter and given the attention it deserves.
He says “Twitter is popular because it is easy. It is easy to setup, easy to copy-paste links into, and easy to write 140 character bits. But, having your own blog remains the strongest platform if you’re serious about sharing ideas and having a continued dialog with the world. Blogging is the antithesis of easy, however it is far more rewarding. I’m not saying Twitter isn’t a useful and interesting service, because it certainly is. But it does not negate the real opportunity that is actually made more useful by the popularity of microblogging: having your own blog. Are you just using Twitter but not blogging?
So here are the list of reasons “Why You Should Blog before you Twitter”
1. Blogging demonstrates true commitment and passion to your industry that you really can’t
