My photo &
web design project

Take one photo each day for a year - that is a '365 Day Photo Project.' Mine started in August 2016. This site displays some of my photos. I created it for the Capstone Project of the Webdesign for Everybody specialisation on Coursera.

Is this your full 365 Day Photo Project?

No, I made a selection from my photos. If you are building a site using code (html, css3, javascript, bootstrap3) rather than a content management system (e.g. WordPress), it is a bit labour-intensive and inconvenient to add pictures. If you are curious about all my photos please visit my Instagram page.

It is nice to have a photo journal of your life! I enjoy looking back to my photos once in a while, and think "oh yeah, that was a nice day / event / moment!" (See also sources of inspiration)

Practice makes perfect, right? I've taken a photography class years back. But you really learn it through doing and experimenting. (See also sources of inspiration)

It makes me more aware of my environment. I see more now that I am regularly trying to spot photo opportunities. This includes seeing the beauty of small things. (See also sources of inspiration)

My mum also does one. No, seriously - I don't do Facebook, so this Instagram project is our way of keeping a bit more informed about each others whereabouts. It adds a new dimension to our relationship. (See also sources of inspiration)
