The idea is to take and post one picture each day for each day in December. The goal is to record something that happens each day and post with why you took the picture or what it means to you.

Suggestions:
1. Step a bit out of your comfort zone - new photographic technique, pp technique, share something important, do a self portrait, take a candid, etc.

2. Keep up on posting and commenting.

3. Record in your comments why you took picture, what it is, how you felt, etc. Even comments such as, "I was tired and bored so here's my boot" tells us something.

4. This isn't about creating a great picture every time but more about exploring yourself and others in the DPC community.

5. When you really, really don't feel like taking a picture: take lenscap off, click, lenscap on. See rule 4.

6. Your spouse and kids make great subjects. If they're not used to it by now, they will be by the end of December!

7. Post processing steps if you think others may not know the technique.

8. Boring, mundane, and posting several days at once are allowed.

9. If you can't do every single day post what you have. We're not keeping score.

Rule:
1. Have fun.

The above suggestions can be revised as necessary.

It's a great chance to learn about ourselves, others, and try new things.

For those who want to play, post here and I'll update the list. I'll create the picture thread at the end of the month.

Results from the bimonthly slice of October can be found here.

I may be interesrted, as I loved the last one we had. I did all mine in the postcard format, and may do that again with this one.....

Sherpets - October 2007 - Slice of Life - Postcards/Snapshots

I need to do side challenges, as they help me to get out and about to take photos, even on a bad day.

Yes, I will do this one with you all again, and hope lots more join in, as it is so much fun.....

Sherpet in, who else is going to join us.....

That would be fine, just be aware that you'll probably receive fewer comments than those who post here.

I will try my best to keep up, December is looking to be a busy month, but I really do enjoy the 30 day self-challenges. It's nice to look back at the end of the month, it turns out to be like a "daily digital diary".

I'd like to try.

I'm a sucker for 'Slice of Life' because I always end up learning so much, I'm in for sure.
11/27/2007 02:28:10 PM · #19
I will join, more so I can comment on peoples stuff. Hopefully I can get more photos than what I did in October, But I made a tone of comment through it and I love learning and commenting so it is fine by me.

Ok. Life has slowed down a bit and I am feeling lost without a side challenge now (I gave up on textures before even starting). My portfolio has suffered greatly as well.

I think I'm in for this again.
11/27/2007 05:53:45 PM · #21
WOW we are getting a great collection of names for this side challenge.

I am really looking forward to doing this again, as I learn so much, as I love commenting on everyones images.....

Come and join us as we have such a lot of fun.....
11/27/2007 06:01:58 PM · #22
please add me to the list :)
11/27/2007 06:15:30 PM · #23
I'll do it. I'm dying to post photos from school. I was in the facutly room today and noticed there are many photo ops right there - everyday at lunch.
11/27/2007 07:50:55 PM · #24
