365 Photo Project

365 Photo Project

Have you ever devised a crazy plan with a friend over drunken IM's only to decide to implement said plans over sober IM's two years later? Have you ever been threatened with death by bulldozer for not implementing said plan? Or how about with a naked baby picture sex scandal? Well, I have and more than once I should point out.

And this is how the photo 365 blog came into existence on April 12th, 2010. Not only was I threatened with death by bulldozer, but I was also blackmailed with nude baby pictures, and nobody wants their nude baby pictures leaked all over the internet. So, to avoid a baby sex scandal and being flattened to the circumference of a pancake here I am taking daily photos of my mundane life.

Every day, I post a new photo of something exciting or something that made me happy over the course of the day. Generally, my pictures feature  everything from books that I am reading, signed copies of books I have received from authors I have stalked on the street, my dog, and me just being an all around nerd. Some of the pictures are entertaining, and some just make me wish I never picked up the camera that day, and they can all be found in my Photo 365 Project album on my facebook page.

 I never thought I would ever want to do this project. I hate getting my picture taken let alone taking a picture everyday for a whole freaking year. However, I am over a month into the project, and I am not as bored/ annoyed/lazy as I thought I would be. Sure, there were a few days where I was too busy to post, but I always post to make up for the days I have missed. The project has been fun thus far, and it is kind of cool knowing that  I have photographic documentation for a whole year of my life. I know Mike feels the same way, but then  again he lives in Vegas, and lives a more exciting life than I do. However, it is still nice to know that we are going through the same experience together no matter if one of us was threatened by the other to participate.

Anyway, I thought I should explain why this mysterious photo 365 project has completely taken over my facebook page.

And, just in case anyone was curious about the drunken conversation...don't worry we saved it for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy:)

Mike: "I don't take any photo's! I spent $500 on this damn camera and I don't even use it. It just sits here on my desk collecting dust. It's a $500 knick knack."

Bridget: " Don't blame the camera for your lack of an exciting photo taking lifestyle. It's not the camera's fault you're  boring and don't take enough pictures."

Mike: " Thanks Bridget! True words of wisdom right there! Thanks for the clarification I never realized I was boring."

Bridget: "Happy to help."

Mike: " Well that still doesn't solve my  lack of camera use dilemma."

Bridget: " So start taking pictures with the damn thing! Get your money's worth. For five hundred bucks you should be using that thing on a daily basis."

Mike:"OMFG! Your right! I could take daily picture of whore's on the strip turn it  into a book and make millions. I could call it "Sluts of the strip a daily adventure"

Bridget: "Or not...who are you the guy from girls gone wild?"

Mike: " Ummmmmm yeah"

Bridget: " It would be cool to take pictures everyday and document your life though. It would be something cool to show the grandkids."

Mike: "OMG! Bridget! You are a genius! I should take a picture everyday for a year. That would be seriously cool and I would get some use out of my camera. It wouldn't even have to be pictures of me.  It could be pictures of hot chicks at the mall and freaky midget dogs on the strip."

Bridget: "Statutory rape much? Or they could be pictures of you know like Bruno your quirky dog or Janelle your equally quirky girlfriend."

Mike: "Don't call Janelle quirky she doesn't like that. I did that once and she punched me in the face and let me tell you that broads got bite. But I guess it would be cool to see Bruno and Janelle progress over a the years. You know Bruno's drool and well..."

Bridget: " Janelle's drool?"

Mike: " Yeah! You should see when she sleeps it's like Niagara Falls is coming out of her mouth"

Bridget: "EWWWWWWWWWWWW"

Mike: "Tell me about it. I feel like I'm taking a bath every time she sleeps over"

Bridget: "That's gross"

Mike: I might do this photo thing though. You know...like do it like over a year or something. Just take a pic and post it on my facebook.

Bridget: "That would be cool! I've seriously missed Bruno's drool. I think you should do it!"

Mike: "Me too and I would get to see how Bruno and Janelle's drool progress over a whole year! That would be sick!"

Bridget: " Do it!"

Mike: " I will and you should do it too! But yours should be like books. You have that whole naughty librarian thing going on."

Bridget: " Ummmm...thanks? I think?"

Mike: " No babe it's a good thing. Like drinking water when you are thirsty. So, you gonna doooooo it?"

Bridget: "Maybe"

Mike: " I'll do it if you will? So is it a deal babe?"

Bridget: "Uhhhhh...sure but you have to stop calling me babe. It's not like you will remember this is the am anyway."

Mike: "Fuck yeah I will! The captain can't bring me down! Unless I get the altzhiemers then well I'm screwed and tattooed with a dirty needle. Hello tetanus."

Bridget: "Whatever."

Mike: "So bardot do we have a deal?"

Bridget: " Sure Meyers...we got a deal."

Mike: " Well have to shake on it when I'm back in CT for x-mas. But no spit. Spit can totally ruin mexican food."

Bridget: "Ummmm....ok"
