Back in 2012 I embarked on what I thought was a minor photography project of publishing one picture taken that day. 366 Pictures turned out to be anything but a minor project, and perhaps against my better judgement, I’ve decided to do it again next year, which of course starts tomorrow!
This is a very last minute decision, and hopefully one that I won’t regret! At times doing 366 pictures was exhausting. My travel itinerary that year was grueling. I travelled to 20 countries around the world, with the hardest stretch being 10 countries in 100 days, spending ten days in each country.
Along the way I had a few disasters, the worst of which was losing my passport in Japan, or so I thought. I actually found it in a hidden pocket in my luggage at the end of the project as I packed my case in New Zealand to return to Australia. (Seriously, I really did look hard for it! Losing it changed the entire itinerary!) But all of those minor catastrophes were eclipsed by the experience of really being engaged with every single day of that year.
So, I’ve decided to do it again! Just as in 2012, I have no real idea of what the itinerary is. It’s going to follow a rough plan, but where I’ll go, and what I’ll do, that’s unknown.
I’m going to hurriedly try and review the current site over the next few days, and I’ll probably archive it to make way for the new material. Like I say, this is all very last minute so give me a few days to get up to speed on this.
I really hope you’ll come along for the ride. I’ll do my best to try and have a little more social media interaction on the site too. Head over to 366pictures.com and start following me there.
I will also be launching the first season of 5 Minutes of Somewhere in 2016 too. Probably February, but we’ll have to see how that goes.
I hope 2016 will be another amazing year, and I hope it will also be amazing for you too.
Happy New Year everyone!

I was thinking about how 2016 is a leap year and how I enjoyed 366 pictures in 2012, and so far have been so happy to see your pictures and stories pop up in my inbox again! Glad you’re doing this and hope you’re doing well my friend :)

@ Sparkles – Glad you’re happy to see 366 return Sparkles. I’m having quite a few issues with it right now. So lots of late nights. For example its 3:16am and I am still working on it! All that while going out each day looking for the picture, then finding time to write the story! Jeez!

Really glad to see 366 return. I was a bit bereft when it stopped, as I had a little routine of coffee and pictures on Sunday mornings, a little escape from our grey skies! I look forward to resume my habit.
