#001 I'm back.
Ok, so this is happening again.
After I finished the project in 2012. I decided to take a break from the stress of coming up with an idea, setting up, shooting and editing to get a picture up every day.
I quickly realised I missed it though.
I figured I would do a few series, to fill in that gap. Unfortunately though, with out that pressure to produce something, I got lazy and hardly used my camera at all shooting just over 3,000 compared to the 12,000 in 2012.
As the year went on I realised the project had a tremendous influence on my health and confidence. A few months before I started the project in 2012 I was obese, by the start of the project I was overweight. Many people don't like there picture taken because they don't like the way they look. I am no exception, but it gave me the motivation I needed to change my appearance. While I haven't slipped back to being overweight, I am not where I want to be.
The confidence came mostly from being more content with my appearance, but also having a feeling of accomplishment "I can do that" and simply having something to talk about when people ask "What's new with you".
So if you read all that and understood it, you must be pretty awesome.
AND seeing that you are awesome, you should help me out with photo ideas. The more photo ideas I have the less you'll see of those cats I have. Please don't suggest I take a picture of a light post though, unless it's got girls dancing on it, or you've wrapped your drift car around it (don't do that) it's not really interesting enough... plus I did it in the last project, twice.
