Project 365: Australia

Good friends Liz & Kate have just launched the Project 365: Australia website. The idea is pretty simple:

Project 365: Australia is a diabetes themed project aimed at raising awareness of diabetes in Australia. The idea behind Project 365: Australia is that the participants take one photo a day for a whole year. The subject of these photos will be something diabetes related - a photo of a glucometer, insulin pump or a finger prick test, for example. At the end of the project the participants are encouraged to collate all their photos and send to a local politician or even the Prime Minister.

So if you’re diabetic, go along and have a look and register. If not, it’s an intriguing idea nonetheless. I’ve decided I’m going to do my own Project 365 and simply take a photograph every day for the next year, so that by this time next year I’ll have a record of a-year-in-my-life. I was going to have them centre around my experience of ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, however I realised there isn’t much that I can actually photograph except maybe a handful of pills and a shot of healthy-looking legs. So I’m going to make my personal Project 365 a reflection of my entire life, with ME/CFS and fibromyalgia forming a part of it, but not a focal point. I’ll post some of them on here (if I remember) as I go.
