My Project 365 – What I got up to in January

Morning folks! Just a really short post before I head down to Malacca for the funeral. Apologies for my short posts over the past few days, what with my trips and Chinese New Year celebrations and then, of course, the sad news.

I have a few outstanding things I want to blog about including lots of pictures from my London and Krabi trips, a book review and some thoughts on issues close to my heart.

For today, however, I just want to bring your attention to a photography project I have undertaken (for the heck of it) called Project 365. It’s nothing new to many of you who are familiar with online projects as it has been going on for years but here is a short intro for those of you not familiar with it:

The 365 project aims to collect photos documenting 1 year of your life. We want to build a picture of the little day to day things that make your life so special and unique. Everyone can take part and join in! All you need is a camera.

I don’t really have the time to upload pictures every day, so what I usually do is compile my shots (I still take them on a daily basis) on my desktop and upload them twice a month. Just last night, I uploaded the last of my January shots which you can view from my Flick site here.

I will blog about each month as I complete the uploading, and share some pictures that I haven’t already done before in my blog including this one above taken at Laila’s in Kelana Jaya. This is my friends new lounge-y restaurant/bar and that is her pretty little niece posing for me.

This shot was taken at a Vietnamese restaurant in the First World Hotel of Genting Highlands. I really like Genting and haven’t been back there in a while, so I thought this picture was apt. What’s more, I love the colours on the lanterns/lights!

The good thing about Project 365 also is that I get to share with you pictures of special occasions, including the 70th birthday (I kid, of course) of my good friend Jit Murad! Not a great shot from my iPhone, he looks like he’s conjuring some kind of magic!
