In my opinion there is nothing better than looking at a photograph in person. There is something very intimate about holding a photograph in your hands or flipping through a photography book. That's why I assembled my own photography book containing all of the photographs from my 2009 365 project. This book is an example of what can come from a personal project given enough dedication, and it is something that I am proud of.

The book is available through Blurb right here and is priced at cost. I have been using Blurb for several years and am very satisfied with their products. The book is printed on their highest quality photographic paper and it looks stunning. The 2010 version can be purchased above.

In 2010 I continued with another 365 project. The 2010 version followed the same basic format as the 2009 version in that I was trying to share one new photograph every day. Again, I allowed myself the luxury of editing old photographs and not restricting myself to only sharing photographs I had taken that day. In the end I did a little better than in 2009, sharing 140 photographs over the course of the year. All of the photographs from 2010 are available to view here.

In 2009 I began my very first 365 project. For those of you that don't know, a 365 project is something photographers have been taking on for the past several years to force them to be more productive. A 365 project can be summed up as a challenge to share one new photograph every day. Now some photographers challenge themselves to actually take one new photograph every day, which is nearly impossible if you want to share really good photographs.

My challenge was to take new photographs, yes, but I also allowed myself to edit old photographs. Even so, it was very difficult to post every day. However, by the end of the year I had posted 100 photographs to a blog I was running. I consider my 2009 365 project to be a success. It was the first time I had really challenged myself with any kind of personal project and I love the results. All of the photographs I shared in 2009 are available to view here.
