Last year didn&#8217;t go so well, I gave up pretty early. I&#8217;m going into the 2009 Challenge with modest expectations. The challenge is a photo-a-day with a new theme everyday. The details of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.photochallenge.org\/2008\/12\/2009-challenge\/\">2009 challenge<\/a> are on the Photo Challenge blog. The daily theme is posted the day before, so you don&#8217;t have much time to plan. <\/p>\n<p>I know I won&#8217;t be able to take and post a photo everyday this year. With work, kids, vacation, etc it just isn&#8217;t possible. I&#8217;m hoping for 300 shots for the challenge. Even those 300 might not be daily, but if I know starting out that I can&#8217;t get one a day, I won&#8217;t be disappointed if I don&#8217;t make it. If I get 300, I&#8217;ll feel I accomplished my personal goal. And I think that is the point of the challenges &#8211; grow as a photographer and have fun. <\/p>\n<p>After five days I&#8217;m keeping up. I&#8217;ve taken and posted a shot everyday. It&#8217;s not easy, and they aren&#8217;t are all shots I would normally post. Since the Photo Challenges use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33224129@N00\/\">Flickr<\/a>, I finally went ahead and upgraded to a Pro account. I still prefer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\">Zooomr<\/a>, but will be posting all my photos on both sites from now on.<br \/>\n<strong>Day 1 &#8211; Chair<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\/photos\/ghegenbart\/6638014\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zooomr.com\/images\/6638014_c8a307fc08.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Day 1 - Chair\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 2 &#8211; Pen<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\/photos\/ghegenbart\/6644240\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zooomr.com\/images\/6644240_c2d5500a64.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"358\" alt=\"Day 2 - Pen\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 3 &#8211; Music<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\/photos\/ghegenbart\/6651220\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zooomr.com\/images\/6651220_a67831beb4.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"Day 3 - Music\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 4 &#8211; Book<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\/photos\/ghegenbart\/6655276\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zooomr.com\/images\/6655276_7a726f0c82.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Bedside\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 5 &#8211; Window<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooomr.com\/photos\/ghegenbart\/6662343\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zooomr.com\/images\/6662343_b000274abb.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Day 5 - Window\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying the Photo Challenge again this year.
