Laura, Post 10. Wish you were here!

Breaking the rules! I didn't snap this today, but this is definitely where I was I was today. This cold snap is a bit much for this now-thin-skinned Florida girl!

Laura, Post 8. Didn't make it.

I forgot to cover/bring in my potted plants again last night. Sadly, they didn't make it :(

Laura, Post No. 7. Velo!

I've ridden this bike all over central and southern Indiana, and I hope to ride it all over central Florida! Today's temps in the mid-60s were perfect for a spin around my neighborhood.

This guy really knows how to spend a chilly January afternoon!

Thanks for the tips you posted a few days ago with my headless cat picture -- sneaking up on him while he was sleepy helped! See, I'm learning already :-)

Laura, post No. 5. Flower power!

I was very, very pleased when I woke up this morning and realized the begonias I'd forgotten to cover had, in fact, mostly survived last night's BIG CHILL. Yay!

Laura,Post No. 4. Me hiding behind a mug.

Isn't hot coffee on cool mornings one of life's greatest pleasures? YES. 'Nuff said.

Laura, post No. 3. Oops.

I wanted to show the world my cat, but the dumb jerk wouldn't hold still. I promise you, dear reader, my feline friend does indeed have a head. Does anyone have any tips for photographing animals?

Laura, Post No. 2. Still life (Or a bunch of crap on the table in my foyer.)

I don't have any witty commentary for this photo -- I just like that all of the things I'd haphazardly placed on the table in the entry to my cozy, comfy condo kind of have a vibe. I've never been one to "decorate," I just like furnishing my house with things that I like. And I guess it all works -- even the bracelet I opted not to wear last minute and the Hello Kitty cake toppers still in the box. This is my stuff and this is me.

Laura, day No. 1: Queue the New Wave music...

I don't consider myself a photographer -- I'm a really more of an observer.

And early this afternoon while traversing Citrus County, Fla., I observed the strangest seagull congregation I'd ever seen in the parking lot in a shopping plaza. I literally saw hundreds of 'em just sitting there, several miles from the lake and even more miles from the coast.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn’t get away.

I'm really looking forward to this project. Can't wait to see your photos!

Summary & Guidelines.

If you would like to receive newletters and updates from the 365 Photography Project, of if you would like to contact the site administrator with questions or comments, feel free to email Alison at 365photographyproject@gmail.com .

Summary:

According to the history I've been able to find, the 365 Photography Project started several years ago. You can read about it here and here. The premise is to take one photograph every day for an entire year. The end result is a varying portfolio of 365 (or more) photographs documenting a year's worth of life.

This photo collaborative blog is designed to enable varying skill level photographers to mingle with one another, share the common interest of taking a photo a day, exchange trade secrets, and share bits of their lives and their cultures with other photographers from around the world.

We aim to make this a positive learning and sharing environment where we, as amateur photographers, can further develop our knowledge of this field over the year.

As time goes on, we will be able to look back at our posts and see our talents, perspectives, and photography habits change. We will share our experiences and our knowledge of photography with one another and, as a result, we will all learn and grow.

Guidelines:

Adding a photo:
1. Formating the subject:
Photographer name: Day # ____. Name of photo (if any).

This will make searching much easier. You may add tags if you like.

2. Please include a summary of the photo, why it inspired you, any editing you did. Also, if you're willing to accept critiques/ suggestions, please note this in the summary. The photos will not be open for critique otherwise.

3. The blog has not been flagged for adult content, however it easily can be. We are all adults, if a participating photographer wishes to post what could be viewed as adult content, we will notify Blogger and have the status changed. This is not an negative thing, just fair warning for any potential viewer who may come across our photo-blog via a web search. Please notify me if you're posting potentially adult content.

Commenting:
As noted, this blog is not a photo critiquing site. If a photographer welcomes photo critiques, he/she will express that following the summary.

Positive comments are always welcome, however any negativity will be deleted upon viewing unless photographer has opened him/herself up for critique.

Mat Ryan wrote his bio so well I didn't have the heart to change the perspective. So... without further adieu, here it is: "So I'm Mat Ryan. If the name sounds familiar it's because I share the same name as a football player, a musician, and a Mexican that graduated with me, except they all spelled the first name with 2 t's and I use one. I was born on February 18, 1985. I'm a full time mechanic, I work part time at a restoration shop, and when I have the money and get sick of work I disappear for a month at a time between driving across the U.S. or hopping trains and sleeping with strangers (as in, couchsurfing) in Europe. I see the world a little differently than most, at least from what my experience has been, and I hope that shows in some of my photography. I also accept criticism, both positive or negative.
