Giorno Bello…
I just wanted to make a little announcement about a project I started doing the other day. (I know what you’re thinking “Becka and her various projects…”) And it’s true, I need a lot of outlets for creativity. If you follow me on twitter you may remember that I was asking people if they had tried a 365 project and how they liked it. I liked the idea of chronicling life each day. But still… something didn’t jive 100% with me. Until I saw a project my friend Ashley Forette was doing which was a beautiful spin on the 365 project. She was taking photos with her iphone constantly documenting various parts of her day creatively. Hello perfect match! Yesterday I got started and I’ve been absolutely loving it. The pressure is gone of having to carry my big girl gear around with me all the time, and also it’s on to be creative because my little iphone camera definitely does not give me the same control that my 5DII does.
Since it’s more of a personal project, I won’t really be talking about it too much here on the blog, but I will talk about it on twitter if you want to follow along. And if you’d just like to bookmark it or add it to your reader you are more than welcome. But keep in mind that it is a personal project so nothing is off limits. ;)

I really love this idea…unconventional photo projects are so much fun. And the ShakeIt app is definitely one of my favorites out there! :)
Very awesome idea. I have trouble juggling work, and kids (or at least i feel like I do). I want to badly to do a 365 but since we put him in daycare I think we’re sick more than not. Its hard finding the motivation some days! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Ok…I leapt! Seeing as how I’d never heard of Tumblr until today, there may be changes to theme/title etc. as I play around. As always, thank you for your incredible creative inspiration! http://andreahubbell.tumblr.com/
@Andrea You’re going to LOVE it! And if you start doing it, send me a link so I can follow along. :)
love love LOVE this idea! I’ve been wanting to start a 365 project too, but have been intimidated by carrying around my gear all day every day as well. This is such a great compromise, and I’ve wanted to play more with my ShakeIt app anyway! :) By the way…I started reading Style Statement and am SO excited about it. Thanks for sharing. xoxo.
@Heather If your blackberry can take pictures you sure can. You may not have the ease that the iphone gives since I’m using an app called “Shake It” to make the images look like poloroids and then I can instantly send the images to Tumblr via the app for that too. If you can get those apps for your phone then you could do the same thing, otherwise you could upload the images manually when you get home :) If you start doing it, send me the link so I can follow along!
i have absolutely loved this thus far…
I have been watching Ashley’s since she started it and I think it’s such a great idea!
I only have a blackberry… can I do it too?
