Project 365: Photography by Kenneth Diaz


Do you know what this is? It took me quite a while to figure it out!
Fellow blogger and friend, Kenneth Diaz, launched Project 365 last year (2010) with the objective of taking at least one picture a day.  On his final entry, he wrote some insights he learned after taking more than 365 pictures in one year!  Great insights that I personally uphold as well, that's why I'm sharing them here with you.


  • There are lots of good pictures out there waiting to be taken and it can be a simple matter of opening one's eyes.
  • Corollary to no. 1, always bring your camera with you, even on the most mundane occasions.  You never know what'll come falling from the sky after taking that left turn on the street.
  • Creativity requires ***a lot of work***.  It can be exhausting, but ultimately, rewarding.
  • Still, it helps to be lucky ... most especially in photography ...
  • I'm starting to appreciate this thoroughly postmodern notion: Nothing is original.
  • Very Important: Things aren't always how they appear to be.
  • Empathy is useful.  But so is a sense of humor.
  • Technical perfection is not the end all and be all of the photograph.  It is the story.
  • Sunset photos are cliches, but one can't help taking a picture of it every time you see one.
  • No matter how many times it's been said, or how corny it sounds, it still rings true: the world is beautiful.

  8. dili ba pag leica they have this thing called 'range-finder' focus? tama ba? baka sa lain model ni. actually dili ko expert. just read a little about it before hehehe

    if they're the same, get the lumix na! even the lens of the lumix is a leica so solve na kaayo ^^

    they might release a new model at the end of the year. i would want to wait for that just in case ^^
