Project365 – a photo a day. A simple concept; take a picture every day for a year. Share with friends. See where the year takes you. I completed Project365 in 2010 thanks to encouragement from a few friends. After taking this year off, I’m ready to try again in 2012. I’m looking for others to join me. You don’t need … Continue reading
