Mine's updated for about 2 weeks worth of new stuff.  I was busy getting married and all that stuff!
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

Congrats Kristi!!

Mine has been slow due to a bad computer on holiday and morning sickness dragging me down.  I'm close to catching up and hoping to get my energy back up and going soon.

Has anyone's enthusiasm started to wane? I'm finding that lately I'm not even bringing my camera out with me - and so I need some motivation.  :-\\\\ Maybe it's because I'm so busy with work, but the past few days I've forgotten about it until pretty late in the day.

I'd hate to lose days, but can see that happening if I don't sort myself out! So, someone please kick my butt into gear!

My enthusiasm always wanes on Monday. :P

But I love looking at yours! Your photos always have such gorgeous light, and you have a knack for making even the everyday seem artistic. Like the hermit crab walking across the carpet--that one was so well composed.

So don't you dare miss a day! *kick*

I have loads of end of the day pics. But I am trying to come up with a list of things I'd like to photograph that I could do to avoid my 'default' end of day pics - the view from my backyard or one of the kids looking cute but not doing anything special. I've done a couple of these so far: my quilt, keys, a cracker box, my spoon - I just need to keep thinking along those lines.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I'm just as enthusiastic about it as I was when I started, but lately I've been panicking at the end of the day with no photos to show for myself. It's all because I moved - and now I have no friends and don't really go anywhere to take pictures. It's sad. And, yes, I am feeling very sorry for myself today. I used to have such a fun life!  :\\\'(

I'm similar; though I've not moved (and H, you SHALL HAVE a fun life again!!).
Funny since I've gotten a better camera and am now making some money at taking pictures, the ones for 365 have waned a bit... hence my taking a picture of a coffee cup at midnight!
But I still think it should be done.
And sevans, YES, your pics are lovely, even with a same subject matter.
I'm enjoying the diversity of everyone's; regardless if one individual's project seems to always be the same to them.
(does that make sense?)
:)
I bought a new polarizer lens yesterday so am about to head off and see what that does.

I'm still having a blast doing it!  I've found that it really makes me pay attention to the small parts of my life because I spend so much time thinking "That would be perfect for today's photo!"  I usually wind up with almost a week's worth of pictures each day.

The only time I was down on it was when I was on my butt for almost a week with a broken toe/foot.  It got a bit challenging to find something to take a picture of when my entire life revolved around what I could see from my bed or couch.

Sevans, you could always get your sons involved.  Explain what you're doing (if you haven't already) and ask them to point out things during the day that they think you should photograph.  I bet you'll find an entire new world of interesting things!

I'm still enthusiastic about it, and still taking a pic every day... just don't have any way of posting the pics at the moment.  >:(

I'm still really enjoying it.  And I'm finding it makes me do stuff-like ride along if James is running errands or really think about what we're doing on the weekend.  Plus, everyone at work knows about it and another person has started one so it's always a topic of conversation.
I've had one day where I had NOTHING and was really thinking I was stuck.  Then I went upstairs to run a bath and found my favorite soapdish broken-a picture! :) I know mine is a bit goofy and snapshotty but it does make me feel creative.

Thanks for the kick, Elynor!   :-* Your pictures are beautiful

Great idea! Thanks, Abby Normal.  :D
