Stumbled across the 356Project website recently. A friend on Facebook is doing it. I have to say I am quite tempted to give it a go. Some of the photos on there are very good and others are interesting from a reportage point of view. Too often my camera sits unused from week to week.
What holds me back is that I'd need a camera with me all the time and I won't be lugging the D90 to work and back every day. I don't really have a compact - although Sarah's old 4MP Ixus has taken a few good shots - and my phone camera is pretty ropey.
Have either of you tried a self-imposed challenge to take a photo a day?

The slow path to very imaginable wealth
FT article
Latest stock sale - ironically it's an article by Roger Protz, who writes regularly for me in my day job.
Image zoomed end of August, article dated 17 Sept, sale of image only turned up on my Alamy records today - again proves that zoomed images months before may turn into sales.
Brings total earned from the stock experiment to just over $500 from around 450 images.

Challenge 10 - Much Less Scary
Here's another one. This time I am a bit more presentable. Taken with off-camera flash behind the sewing machine so that I was illuminated. Manual focus attempt to get my face sharp - not the machine - has only been partially successful. F7.1, 52mm.
Challenge 10 - NSFW
This was an attempt to get away from any vanity associated with this challenge! Me looking at my very worst after 30 minutes on an exercise bike. Do not pixel-peep - you may well be scarred for life.
Off-camera flash pointing straight into the face from below, camera directly ahead. F3.5, 18mm.

Challenge 10 - for me, obvious really...
f8, 1/60s, ISO400, 16-85@56mm, off-camera flash. Chiltern Brewery Bitter, 4.8 per cent ABV.
Challenge 10 - Self Portrait
On reflection, this challenge could turn out to be aesthetically very upsetting. ;)
f8, 1.6s, ISO 400, 16-85@85mm (through 50mm)
Focus issues caused by shooting through the second lens which I didn't have time to nail down.
