…or is it 366? I’m too lazy to check right now, but I seem to think 2012 is a leap year. Meh.

With just four days left in my August photo (un)project, and having seen that my half-baked efforts inspired at least one person, I thought it was kinda sad that the month was looming to a close (already) and — silly me — figured maybe I should just keep going.

So, starting on September 1, 2011 I’m going to jump right into a completely crazy photographic endeavor and start a photo-a-day crazy project. Yes, a real project. Not an (un)project. Not a whim. Not even a high class whimsy. A real, hands-dirty kinda project.

Rules?

[ 1 ] One photo posted per day. Minimum. Maximum. No more. No less. And said photo must be taken by me and drawn from whatever pool or quantity of photos I’ve happened to take during the course of that day… as in I can take a thousand photos, but I can only post one for the 365 Photo Project.

[ 2 ] Camera, lens, equipment is not defined by anything other than the photo needs to be recognizable as some kind of digital image. It can be taken with an SLR, a point-and-shoot, a cell phone, iPhone, smart phone, web cam, or whatever, so long as it looks like a photo and I pressed the shutter button.

[ 3 ] The subject matter and quality is not pre-defined. This is not 365 photos of Claire, my feet, the sunset, beautiful scenes or action shots. It might just be as boring as a picture of the book I’m reading, the speedometer in my car, or a bug on the sidewalk — or it might be epic. Epic, I tell you.

[ 4 ] I will make a gallery album dedicated to this on my gallery at gallery.8r4d.com, and subdivide that album my month, and perhaps write the occasional post here detailing the efforts, but other than the occasional notification, this is just going to happen.

Wish me luck. Play along. Whatever. I’m about to get a little photo crazy.
