365 Days: 1/365

I have decided to jump in and do my own 365 Days within Second Life, using this blog to post the photos. I learned about 365 Days from Flickr when I ran across RL photos from some amazing photographers. The project is pretty simple -- you take and post a self portrait every day for a year.

Why would someone do this? The idea is to keep a photo journal of your life, recording the things you have done, your feelings and moods. A huge side benefit of the project is it forces you to improve your photography skills. Doing a project 365 Days in SL provides me an incentive to explore so I don't end up posting 300 photos of me standing in my sky box, which seems to be where I spend most of my time lately.

Some days I expect my 365 days will include words and maybe even music. Other days my posts will just be a photo. It is a huge commitment to post every day for a year and it means I have to at least pop into SL every day, which believe it or not I don't always do. I am sure I will miss out some days or in a time I may post a red-faced "365 Days? No idea what you are talking about." We shall see, won't we?

There is of course a narcissistic element to this project. My human is a little bit in love with my avatar, I would be dishonest if I did not admit that. Perhaps some avatar self-love translates to human self-love. Who knows, but surely that is another post for another day.
