#YEARBOOK

#YEARBOOK is a project i decided to start with the hope of documenting the upcoming year day by day through photos. my goal is to post a single shot everyday with the hope that each picture will be a representation of that particular day for me.

some days might just be a simple picture of whatever comic i'm reading or whatever meal i'm eating or someplace i might have visited. other days might be a photo of nothing in particular that just expresses the mood i'm in or feelings i'm having. i don't really have any rules in place for the pictures other than one a day for 365 straight days.

in the past, a project like this is something i would start and never finish, but i guess i'm making it my new years resolution to take this all the way to December 31, 2013. i'm really excited to see how this turns out and i think it will be interesting to look back on a year from now and beyond.

while i'm committing to taking a photo everyday, i'm not promising that i'll have a new blog post for each picture, so if you are interested in keeping up, please check out my flickr and instagram pages for daily updates. i'm thinking about starting a special tumblr page for this project as well, so if that comes about i will be sure to post the link. thanks in advance to anybody and everybody for reading this and i hope you enjoy #YEARBOOK.
