Project 365: What’s Next?
With the end of Project 365 rapidly approaching (I’ll blog about the project itself separately), the obvious question arises: What’s next?
As I can’t quite get used to the project ending and me sitting bored on my hands all day (ha, ha) I am considering doing something similar next year. There are several (serious or not so serious) options on the table:
- Project 365, the rebirth: Another year of photos? As if there’s anything I haven’t shown to my readers yet
- American oddities: Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, a friend suggested we need more stories comparing US and German tissues. There is, of course, plenty of opportunity to point out
inferior American productscultural differences, though admittedly, that has been done before… - Project 52: (don’t hate on the horrendous code name). In this case, I’d post a photo per week rather than day, giving me more time to take several shots in various places and decide which one I like the most, possibly polish it up on the computer, and post a photo a week that I think is actually pretty good.
- Project 360-365: The frequency is to be debated, but the general idea is, posting a series of panoramas. Daily is probably too frequent (after all, panoramas take some time to make) and it’d be a very limited type of photography, but it’s still an option.
- A blog a day: What the name says. A new blog post every day? That of course wouldn’t exclude pictures, but would make it more about the writing than the picture. Project 365 was the other way around.
- Anything else?
These are all the ideas I’ve collected thus far. I am interested to hear what you think! Of course, not all of these make any sense at all, so feel free to mock them if you wish but honest comments are appreciated, too. Thanks!
I’ve enjoyed the photos, but something fun and thematic might be nice.
1 photo a week would be fine, I think to do something with a thematic arc might be difficult to pull off daily. And I think carrying a theme for an entire year might be hard too.
So maybe you pick 6-7 week themes (and therefore 6-7 photos) and post them weekly. The themes could be whatever you’d like. Transit, fake-german things (like the Steak-out biergarden), misplaced articles of clothing, etc.
there’s only so much fun to be had at america’s irrational fear of kinder eggs.
then we’d have to come back with the whole “country closed on sunday” business
do it, but only if you can make it funny!
Micah: But, but…! If I swallowed a Kinder egg whole, I would be consuming plastic!
Dave: Great suggestion, thanks!
[...] after 365 consecutive days of that exercise in 2011. But of course, the photos I take can’t just go unpublished, so I discussed it with my fellow photography nerd morgamic, and we decided to start a photo blog [...]
