Well, it's almost the end of Week 1 - how did you do?  Did you remember to get a picture every day?  It's never too late to start - who says the year has to go from January 1 to January 1.  Be a little less traditional and go from the 7th to the 7th or the 10th to the 10th!  Just whatever you decide (or don't decide) you can do what works for YOU and your life!  It's YOUR project and runs well when it's a system you can live with.

Another idea you might try to seek inspiration and stay motivated is to sign up for some great "Daily" reminders that will keep you moving along!  There are many places out there that will either do a Twitter update, or a daily email or a FB page update with daily ideas.  There are daily photo ideas, "word of the day" ideas, Bible verse of the day, etc.  All of those things can be great sources of ideas and inspiration for your project!  You never have to stick with just one, but find a way to incorporate them along with your own, to make your project a success!

I get a daily Twitter update from "DailyShoot" and it gives me an idea for a photo that I can take that day... I don't always use it that day, but sometimes it might help me if I get stuck later on.  Also, look for inspiration for photos on photographers Facebook pages.  Choose one that closely matches your place in life - if you have young children, choose a children's or family photographer.  If you are getting married, choose a photographer that specializes in engagement and wedding photography.  Today, more than EVER before, you have an abundance of resources to help keep you going.  Remember, your pictures don't have to be great, chances are every one is not going to be spectacular - but if you learn with each photo you take - at the end of the year, you are going to be so proud of your progres!  No one starts out as a pro - every one takes their very first photo sometime.  Let TODAY be your day - if you haven't started yet, start TODAY!  You CAN do it! 

Have a great Friday...and don't forget to make a memory today!
