About Seven In Sydney

I was inspired by the Project 365 idea of taking a photo every day for a year to get out there and take more photos.

The problem is, I think that bar might be just a bit too high for me. Some days of my life are just that boring and I'd rather not have a set of boring photos. That and I don't think I have the discipline to take a photo every day.

So in setting myself up for (moderate) success, I've decided to give myself a whole week to get seven photos in, according to a particular theme..

That didn't work very well.

I ended up fussing about, trying to make everything really pretty. I'm pretty critical of my own work and end up not posting anything that might be just a little off. Combine that with trying to stick to a theme and really it was a recipe for disaster.

So I dropped the themes and have been trying to put up seven, any seven, every single week. Whether they're the completely hopeless photos, pointless ones, blurry, taken on a mobile phone, whatever. If they're a picture and I took them that week, then the seven (if I make it) go up.

Every week is a challenge to just get seven photos, any seven, to this site in any format.

Some weeks are easy, some weeks are hard. I try to update on the first working day of the following week (usually Monday), but occasionally I miss the week altogether.

Will I ever make it to the full 52 weeks? I'm not sure, but my goal isn't just a year, it's really about the journey.
