Tomorrow will be day 230. I have to admit, when I jumped on this bandwagon back on January 1st I wasn't entirely sure I'd make it this far. But here I am, and I've done all 229 photos thus far with my phone!
I'm sure I would not have made it to this point without my phone. It's been so freeing to know that I don't have to get that "perfect" shot, but I just need to get A shot. And it doesn't hurt that the iPhone is the best point-n-shoot I've ever used. :)
But, after a few months I started to miss my DSLR. Sure, it's a dinosaur as far as cameras are concerned, and I really only have one lens for it, but I started craving real photos. I was also getting some pretty great shots of my kids that were not up to my standards for enlarging.
I love this P365 and I don't plan on quitting. I've been working on a Blurb book and I'm so excited to get it printed at the end of the year. I love that I'm documenting our everyday life, and that it's quick and easy. I still love to scrap as well, and I feel like this frees me up to be able to get caught up (ha!) and only scrap the things I really want to from the year.
All that being said, I've already started thinking about what I want to do next year. I defiantly want to do something, but I'm not sure if I'll do this exact thing again.
One idea I have is to challenge myself to do a P52, but only use my DSLR. At least one really good photo a week. I think that may be more difficult than this has been, but I also think it would help me to grow as a photographer, and I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to make a large print when I get a photo I love.
There's still plenty of time to decide (or come up with something else entirely), just some things I've been thinking about. In the meantime I'm trying to pick up the old dinosaur a little more frequently to capture the everyday moments.
