new year, new attempts. this had been way long overdue, like the great late bloomer and procrastinator that i am, but i've finally gathered the guts to have the proverbial 365 project started. this could prove to be more overwhelming and painful to sustain than i already think it is, but what the heck, i'll try my darnest to keep it going, because 1.) i think this is one of the best ways (if not the best) to improve what little photography skills i have, 2.) this would push me to create and express myself everyday for my good 'ol sanity, and 3.) just like the rock-collecting Denny of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke (a recent addition to my list of favorite dysfunctional literary figures!), i need to have something tangible (and i don't mean that which you can withdraw from an ATM) to show for each day, "Just one thing. A little monument to mark the end of each day." this way i (hopefully) won't wound up feeling like my days have just disappeared into nothing at the end of the year.

disclaimer: it's not gonna be one of those one-self-portrait-a-day 365's, definitely not ( i cringe at the thought! :D ), but just a self-imposed commitment to upload one photo of anything each day in 2012.
and since i'm already 5 days behind, i intend to upload five photos more by the end of this week. :)
wish me luck?

special thanks to my niece Yen for pressing the shutter button.:D
