It started of as an idea with a friend at work who first suggested it and I thought it was an interesting thing to attempt but wasn't sure if I wanted to start it. I'd only had my Olympus OMD EM-5 for just on one month and thought this would get me to learn the new camera quickly so I thought why not and started my project with the mindset of "I'll see how I go for a while".
It started of great and was travelling well until around 110, then a few after the half way mark around 170 and again around the 250 mark, the hardest was in the last 10 days of the final 2 weeks over Christmas and New Years and on holidays. Buy this time I just wanted a break but knew I was close and pushed ahead.
At the start I was uploading to Google+. Shortly after I started my Facebook Page and started to make regular uploads to my Flickr portfolio too and because I can't stop at just one photo I ended up posting multiple images to three locations daily. I added 500px to my social media list and shortly after Instagram. So for the last almost third or my 365 Project I was uploading my daily project image and a few others to 5 social media sites almost every day that took around 1-3 hours to complete, so by the end I needed a break.
I'm not sure if I'd do something this long again, not sure if it is beneficial to do so as I found myself circling around common subjects/styles and having to take a photo when you are lacking inspiration/creation can take it's toll.
In the end I'm glad I did this and that I was able to complete it and I'm looking forward to some time to recharge some creativity. Below shows my 365 journey from 365 back to 1.
