Good bye 2012, Hello 2013!

Sadly, my 366 project is over!  Can you believe it?!  2012 - GONE!  Well, almost...
I know I had all these grand ideas for my 366 project and even though I didn't do a "Theme Week" or whatever else I had set out to do, my photos have proven that the Photo-A-Day thing can be fun!  It's also my equivalent to a Gratitude Jar.
What's that, you ask?  I've been seeing some posts on Tumblr and Pinterest about making a Gratitude Jar on January 1st.  Basically, you write one nice thing that happened to you everyday (or for that month) and then on December 31st, you read them all and express your gratitude for such a wonderful year.  Not bad.  I thought about how nice that would be and then I realized that my 366 project was already doing that for me!
So to honour that, I'll post my 5 favorite photo(s) from each month from my 366 photos.  This might be a tough one...

Photos after the jump!

This Week's 366

 I found these cute candies at Super H Mart on Sunday.



Chocolates!


A pretty bouquet


I finally received my quartz necklace and ring (not pictured) from Fashionology!



WHAT

THE

FUDGE???

I saw that yesterday on my way home from work. In case you can't really tell, the Sylvester toy is dressed in a devil costume. Um...WHAT???  Yeah, I was definitely caught off guard with that one...
I hope I get some really interesting things this weekend.  Honestly, I don't think it can get any more random than this though!

366 Project Update

Here's another 366 project round-up. I think I'll *try* to do a weekly round-up to kind of help me stay on task and not get all discouraged. Help me keep my creativity flowing!
Since I've already done the first 15 days post, I'll start with the 16th until now...



While I'm aware you've seen some of these already, it doesn't hurt to re-post!

I'm trying to do little things like take different ways home for some different scenery or using other apps instead of just the Hipstamatic.  But when I do use the Hipstamatic, I've been shaking it to randomize the settings since I have a tendency to stay with one particular lens/film combo.  I've also been keeping an eye out for different camera apps to try out as well.  I'm really excited about the photos now that I've done my upgrade!  The last photo (of the Nike shoe boxes) is the first photo with my new phone and I think it looks great!  Especially after I ran it through the Cross Process app.  It's like night and day!  I love it!  I can't wait to share more photos!

366 Project - The First 15 Days...

So this 366 project is underway and I feel like I'm having more fun with it than the last one I did.  Why?  I don't know.  I guess because I'm more comfortable with my iPhone camera?  More comfortable with the Hipstamatic perhaps?  Let's see...

I have to keep in mind that I didn't start the last 365 project on the 1st, so the dates aren't lining up but that's not the point.

I feel like with the addition of apps like Instagram and the Hipstamatic Disposable, not to mention all the other film packs for the original Hipstamatic, the possibilities are endless for this year's 366 project!  I'm really looking forward to finishing it!  The last one I did started feeling like a little bit of a chore on the harder days but I feel like I've been becoming more and more ambitious lately and I think that this 366 project will be streets ahead of the last one.

So...now that we've compared the first 15 days, let's see how the rest of the 351 days stack up this year!  I can't wait!

366 Project for 2012

It had not dawned on me that this year is a leap year until I was invited to a 366 group on Flickr.  I hadn't been looking to start another photo-a-day challenge until this realization so I'm feverishly back-tracking my photos to January 1st.  The only gap I can find is that I didn't take a photo on the 2nd and if I did, it's on my Unicorn Hipstamatic Disposable app - which I still have 15 shots left to take before I can see any photos!

Right now, I'm having mixed emotions with the app because, while I love the idea of sharing cameras, I hate that I can't see anything until it's done. I guess I'm feel more of that anxiety since I know I took some photos with it yesterday (while it was being all crashy-crashy) and I can't submit them to my 366 project until I'm done.  And who knows when that will be?!  Just kidding.  I guess I can take some filler photos to get them all out so that I can have those.  Ugh.  I hate that I have to do that.

I guess I should've thought about the 366 project first.  I mean, I had every intention to do it but I wasn't really feeling it - until I got that invite.  It was the push I needed to challenge myself this year.  And on top of that, I have some added pressure: the person who invited me to the group also invited me to share a Hipsta-D camera with him as well so...I'm feeling the pressure for some neat photos!  Not to mention I felt like I lost yesterday with the whole crashy business.  Not to worry though!  While I was recording some music, I had my phone updating in the background so I'm hoping to get some shots worthy of sharing very soon!
