January Via Instagram

Remember how I attempted to do a 365 project last year?

Well, it royally flopped. I got so behind on picture editing last year (especially after I started shooting in RAW format), and I eventually gave up.

This year I'm trying a simpler route by doing the #photoaday challenge on Instagram. Fat Mum Slim has been creating a photo challenge each month with daily prompts, and I decided to get in on the fun.

The challenge is perfect for me because: 1) I don't have to spend a lot of time editing, 2) I can automatically send my pictures to Flickr via Instagram, and 3) there are others doing it along with me!

I did miss some days in January, primarily because my husband takes his iTouch to work and then I'm Instagram-less (tragic, I know). But here are some of the snippets of life I captured last month:

    This is a great idea, I just started with the February challenge. Does Flicker put the photos into collage format?

      No, Flickr just makes it easy for me to download the photos onto my computer.
      I used Picasa to make the collages!

    Amazing pics! I love the simplicity of them. I'm so glad I found your blog (I found it while searching for a crock pot yogurt recipe).

    Great idea! I love the idea of prompts for pictures because I often can't think of anything to take a picture of, especially because I don't have kids, and each workday is pretty much the same routine.

    oh wow! were you trying to do 365 with raw photos? i would be totally behind as well. i am so not cut out for all that editing. LOL.

    that's why i love IG so much! it's so cool & so user friendly. all your photos are so fun to look through.

    thanks for linking up!
