			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first met Stephanie Roberts at a party hosted by James Harris of <a href="http://www.elementalinteractive.com/">Elemental Interactive</a>, she was carrying a camera. She will be at our <a href="http://socon08.com/">SoCon08 conference </a>and at the conference&#8217;s social networking site, I learned she is involved in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/365of2008/">Project 365</a>, where people commit to shooting and, eventually, posting one photo every day. Many <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/365of2008/">post their work at Flickr </a>and the stuff is fascinating to look at. Some,  <a href="http://www.coolpeopleiknow.com/">like Stephanie </a>, post some commentary and their photos at their own sites. Several say it improves their photography.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that easy, <a href="http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/">the project tutorial</a> says:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is perhaps the most important tip of all. You will get tired of taking a photo every single day. Some days, you will consider giving up. Don’t. The end result is worth the effort. Remind yourself why you wanted to do it in first place.</p>
<p>There will be times you’ll think there’s nothing interesting left to take a photo of, and times you’ll think you didn’t do anything exciting enough to take a photo of. There’s always a great photo to be made.</p>
<p>Get out of the house and take a walk. Or stay inside and look around. Take a photo of something important to you. Take a photo of the inside of your house so you can see how your taste has changed over the years. Take a photo of anything, just don’t stop.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, this post would have made more sense if I had done it prior to the New Year. However, I just posted a question : &#8220;Is it too late?&#8221;  at the Project 365 discussion group &#8212; this year <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/365of2008/"><font color="#1057ae">Project 365+1- Jan 1st 2008</font></a> for the leap year &#8211;and they say although most folks started on January 1, if you want to start now, go for it.</p>
<p>Personally, I am not sure if I want to make the commitment, I already have a very full plate; still the idea intrigues me.  And I think having students in media classes, even beyond photojournalism classes, shoot a photo each day might be a good idea. I teach a feature writing class and it might help the students become more aware of the world around them &#8212; and it might do the same for me.</p>
