I’ve been inspired by many people and many things over the last two years of dipping my toes into this online community.
One of the things that has piqued my interest and inspired me the most is photography. I’ve always had a passion for photography, but never had an outlet or a place to learn. Women like Lotus, Mishi, Angella, Pauline, Lori, Casey and Amy and Angie.. I am in awe of them and from them, I will learn and draw inspiration.
One of my challenges for myself for 2010 is to jump on the bandwagon and do the Project 365.
I will challenge myself to take many pictures everyday.. to seek out that which draws my eye, whether it’s beautiful, tragic, forlorn, soulful or just awe inspiring. I will post these pictures sometimes here, but always, every day on my 365 Flickr Set..
Here are my first Six Pictures of 2010
Blackeyed Peas (Soaked)

I’d love to know what inspires you.
Or, if you’re a photographer, love taking pictures and/or have done 365.. any tips, advice, hints, photography suggestions.. I’d love them!
Great pictures Rachel! You have a great eye for pictures, I look forward to seeing what 2010 brings to your lens. 🙂

Go Rachel! I did project 366 in 2008 (it was a leap year!) and although I missed a few days here and there, the result was an amazing photo document of the year.
If nothing else, project 365 will require you to take your camera everywhere and start opening your eyes a bit more to the world around you. Have fun!

This is my second year of doing a 365 (I started on 9/1 so I’m 128 days into it now) – and I have to say, it becomes habit eventually… taking pictures every day… and you won’t ever be sorry to have each day documented! YOU CAN DO IT!

Oh, I love the last one. It’s so evocative and you can see the strength of the relationship between the two of them.
Is it weird the black eyed peas pic is my favorite? Mmmm I can smell ’em cooking now! Can’t wait to see more pics!

Check you out!! Those photos are fabulous and I have no doubt that your photographic abilities will improve tremendously to pro in no time!
I forgot all about this project. Is it too late for me to start? And thank you for the mention sweets (blushing). Your tonguegasmic food inspires me. And your sweetness. 🙂

Yay, can’t wait to see your project unfold. Do not give up!
.-= OHmommy´s last blog ..This is the end. =-.
You go, girl! I’m too chicken to sign up for 365 days, but I’ll be cheering you on!
.-= Angella´s last blog ..You Do What You Love =-.
Oh you are brave. I don’t think I could do the 365.
I love your shots! And good luck! 🙂

Great challenge & I love your pics!
Your pics are gorgeous. I’m thinking of doing it but I’m afraid I’d last a month. The amazing Lotus and adorable Braden are coming over to my house Saturday (you are jealous, right?) and I might ask her about it. Maybe she’ll say – GOD don’t even make yourself that crazy! – and I’ll be off the hook. heh.

I look forward to seeing yours.

You’re going a great job taking advantage of open apertures! They provide a great new perspective into often overlooked or otherwise mundane subjects.
Well done!

Amamzing pictures! I really have to start to learn how to use my new camera (I say that every day lol) I have to remember that I don’t just have to take pictures of people…event hings around the house can be pretty like that ornament!

These are just lovely! I’m so excited you’re doing Project 365. Since getting my new camera for Christmas, I’ve contemplated on jumping on the bandwagon as well 🙂
