Hi everyone,
With the end of the year coming up quickly I figured that I would (finally) decide to try my hand at the whole photo-a-day-for-a-year thing for a New Year's resolution I would actually stick with past a month.
This got me thinking: taking a photo a day is good, but what could make it better? And I then thought: what if there was a theme for each day? My immediate reaction was then to wonder if there was a website that could give me a theme each day.
Well, I didn't find anything in my five minutes of Google searching, so I thought I would ask if anyone knew of a website. I'm guessing that one doesn't really exists because the whole idea is a very individual project not something that is formal.
I think that a website that had a theme, idea, or concept each day would be rather good as it would, hopefully, promote challenging yourself with each photo instead of just looking out the window and taking a picture of a tree and calling it good for the day.
To that end I think I might start a blog where people can submit ideas for each day's theme and then I (or maybe a couple of other people as well) would choose one for each day. It would kind of work like a fast paced fortnightly challenge.
If you feel like reading it, here is what I'm thinking the blog would entail:
A place for people to submit ideas.
The blog: one theme posted each day, either the day of or the day before.
A place for people to link to their photos for the world to see.
I'm thinking that Google+ might be a good place to run this. Or maybe Tumblr.
If you actually read all of that and it made any sense I would love to hear what you think. And, possibly even more importantly, if you would like to help because I feel like this is something that could get out of control for one person very quickly.
