This is my daily photography project. The rules are:
• Take at least one photo a day with my compact digital camera.
• Upload as many as possible to a dedicated gallery.
• Post one of each days' photos to this blog.
• The project ends when the gallery reaches 5000 photos.
Some of the fine print:
– There will be a built-in delay between taking and publishing each photo.
– If the camera dies, that will also end the project.
My goal is to have this project train me to always have and use a little digital point-and-shoot.
My hope is that the project will form a record of a significant period of time, and give me a reason to be adventurous again.
I've picked the Panasonic TS3, in orange, as a reliable camera that's not too big and gives decent quality. I'm not aiming for art, but hopefully some of it will be interesting.
Updated January 2012: The TS3 has proven to be a solid camera, albeit with middling image quality and a quirky interface. (I've reviewed it, and done a follow-up, both of which go into far more detail about my experiences.) But as I reach the half-way point in the dark of winter, I've decided to add second camera to the project.
The Canon S100 offers much better image quality and raw capture: as a direct result of this project, and the idea of always using my compact camera, I've found that I want to use it for more and more 'serious' work. The TS3 will remain as my camera of choice for anything rugged or damp.
