Daily 5x5 #1 - My Birthday

For awhile now I've been contemplating starting a new daily project. I considered starting the daily photos again; using Instagram this time as apposed to Daily Booth, as Daily Booth's failure to reliably work with my phone was a major part of my stopping the project. Instead I've decided to do a daily video project called a 5x5.

I discovered the "5x5" one day while I was going through the Vimeo Video School. It's a very simple video, just 5 clips, each 5 seconds long.

I'm sure my 25 second videos will get repetitive, like my daily photos - lots of clouds, lots of cats. But, it's a little bit of creativity to fit into each day.

And here is my first. Shot today, my birthday:



First off, sorry about my creeper breathing.

Birthday Flowers

Goal #4 – My world as seen through a phone...

...my phone of course. It will be the one camera I should have with me at all times. Well aside from those times that I leave it plugged in charging somewhere, or have forgotten to charge it and it's lying dead at the bottom of my purse.

Plus, it gives me a reason to play with some of the photography apps I've downloaded. Yeah, maybe that won't be such a good idea all the time.

Here's the first Daily iPhone Photograph. It's of my beautiful birthday flowers. The ones in the front came from my wonderful friend jjs (What I know at 38) and the ones in the back are from my boss.
