2011 project: daily everyday life photos
Canon EOS 500N, Kodak press chrome 100
If you noticed the answer to question number 37 in this post, you got a little tease of what my new project is - and the title of this post gives it all away.
Now that the dinner project is coming to an end*, I wanted to start a new project that can easily be shared in this space. I decided on the same kind of project that I did in 2008; daily diptychs from January 1st to December 31st 2011.
My plan is
- to take a least two photos every day (note to self: kill your darlings!)
- to post one photo to my Flickr every day
- to post the week's seven diptychs here on Hei Astrid every Sunday
- to add date and location for the photos as the only text
Does anyone else plan a similar project?
Happy new year everyone! Here's to a fabulous 2011!
*The Dinner Project Blurb book will be launched within a couple of months.

I have a similar project! I'll post it on my blog on monday.
ReplyDeleteI want to take 2 photos a day throughout 2011: one of my outfit, for the Daily Outfit Diary flickr group and one of a random moment of that day, for My Everyday Life group. Once a week, I'll also post the photos on the blog.
I have to say, Astrid, you inspired me to start this project! I love your photos, your everyday moments, and I just hope I can do something similar and show a bit of my life as a scientist and a mum... I wish you a Happy New Year!
I wish I could do something like that... At least 1 or 2 per week... Happy New Year for you
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting. The new year starts in a couple of hours and I haven't decided on a new project....

Nyttårshilsen fra Anja!
I thought about taking one picture each day in 2011, too...not sure if I can keep up with it though. For some reason I feel like I want to document 2011 better...
ReplyDeletehi astrid! i started to follow your blog during this holydays. i have decided to start this 365pictures project this year (and that's why i found your blog!).
ReplyDeletei lived in norway for a while and i had this blog http://tyttebaer-vrg.blogspot.com/ just to help my friends to follow me while i was not in italy, but it is in italian... i will start with a new blog tomorrow, then i will write you the address: hope you will follow me in my new adventure:) good luck with yours!

ReplyDeleteI'm toying with the idea of starting another project... I've done several take a picture every day projects before, and I'd like to do something similar again.
ReplyDeleteBut I still have some hours to decide, what it will look like in detail! :)
:) no, no consuming project as yours. Hope you'll have fun doing your project in a brilliant 2011.
ReplyDeleteHello Astrid. I'm always amazed at how organised you are ... For the new year, my project will be modest : one diptych per week. And I really hope the new year won't be as intense as the last one was for me ... I wish you a happy 2011 ;o)
ReplyDeleteno projects for me, just remembering to walk out that door everyday with my camera and capture how life unfolds! happy new year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Astrid!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to document life and keep memories! I'm looking forward to seeing your photos and you inspire me to take more myself.
happy new year astrid! that sounds like a lovely new project to document 2011. i started a SP a week last year and only made it to 30 photos...so this year i'm taking it slowly and haven't planned on any project so far...although i love them a lot. thinking about it!!
ReplyDeleteDiptychs can tell lots of different stories depending on the way you mix photos. I love to play with the way people see my images and love to image the stories they will create when they see them. Happy 2011.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Astrid !
ReplyDeleteWIth a great project for 2011 !!!
Bises !
Artig prosjekt og det blir helt sikkert ett artig år for deg Astrid. håper jeg får møtt deg i 2011! Klem.
ReplyDeleteGodt nytt år!
ReplyDeleteJeg vil gjerne ha et lignende prosjekt, men driver fremdeles å tenker det ut. Egentlig så har jeg lyst å ta mer bilder av mennesker, så kanskje det skal bli en "greie"??
Det er uansett inspirerende å se hvor gjennomførbart det er her på Hei Astrid :) Keep up the good work!!

Ha! It seems that I thought of your new project when I asked you the question! :)
ReplyDeleteI am doing a 52weeks project - one selfportrait a week - this year over at flickr and trying to do a YIP (Year In Pictures) project as well - like in a joint-venture.
I enjoy dong this because it is like a jounal for me.
Happy picture-taking!
Julia ♡

great project and good luck, I lpve everyday snippets of peoples lives photos, its so interesting to see how other people live. I tried this once and miserably failed, I jus didn't have the staying power!
ReplyDeleteMy lovely wife Allison started a dyptich project on her birthday last year, May 15th. She was inspired by your 2008 project, and I can tell you that she's been cursing the commitment once in a while. On the other hand, we're passing the three-quarter milestone, and it looks like we're going to end up with one *hell* of a beautiful souvenir to the last year in her twenties :) Find her daily flickr set here.
