Objects – Project 52

January 6th, 2010

What this? A blog post?! Yes, yes my friend, it is. I have actually written something and posted it on my blog. Sadly its a post about writing more posts, but you’ve got to start somewhere right?

So what’s all this about objects and project 52 I hear you ask? (If you didn’t I’m sure you were going too…). Well, its a happy combination of a few things I’ve been pondering recently – ‘How do I make sure I update my blog?’ and ‘You really should spend more time appreciating what you have you ungrateful little…’

Project 52
I really want to start writing and blogging consistently – this is where Project 52 comes in. Simply its a group of like minded individuals that have the same goal as me – to blog more, in this case once a week (52 times -gettit?). Hopefully being accountable, and having someone look over my shoulder to see if I’ve posted will be enough to actually make me do it!

Objects
I’ve committed to post more – but what do I write about? Recently I’ve been thinking about all the really cool stuff that myself and girlfriend have picked up over the years – we love cool items and limited edition shiny things, but after a while they sit on a shelf and gather dust. No more – the idea behind the Objects series is to take one object a week, take some nice photos and write about it. Simple huh.

Will it be interesting? For me it will, and hopefully at least a few items will be for you too. You can probably expect lots of books and music popping up as we’ve been collecting since we were kids. I’ll try and get a bit of variety in to it too though :) .

Its going to be an interesting experiment to see if I can keep this going to a whole year. I’ve much admiration for a friend that is currently doing the 100 days project. He’s not slipped yet, so if I do I’m sure he’ll point it out ;) . I’m not sure which would be harder – 100 days in a row or 1 a week for a year. I guess we’ll find out.

So – Post number 1 done. Just another 51 to go….
