On The Hunt 365 - Photo Challenge

At the first of the year I gave myself a challenge. That challenge was to post 365 photos in 365 days (a picture a day). In an attempt to make this easier for me, I turned it into a scavenger hunt and created a list of 365 "things" to photograph. In the beginning this was really helpful, and yet challenging. It meant I always had something to photograph, but it also meant I had to really think about who, what and how I was photographing it.

I am now just over a quarter of the way done, I am on day 95. There have been a couple of days I had to double up cause I missed but still there are 94 images in the Instagram account and today I will post 95.

I am finding though, that my list is becoming troublesome. Okay not troublesome, just not as fun as I anticipated. After a 95 days I think I have found my niche...or at least the things I have the most fun photographing. So I am debating, do I throw the list out the window and just take photographs? Or is that considered quitting? Do I need to keep up the list for the integrity of the project? Does it matter if I am just doing it of me?

I don't know what to do, but I sure do like photographing the little ones :)

I really like the concept of giving yourself challenges. I might copy that idea if you're okay with that? :-)
If you're having trouble finding fun things to photograph you're more than welcome to take a look at my blog. Maybe you'll get some inspiration :-)
