101 things in 1001 days

Posted by: Ichimusai in

This page is in bad need of a makeover and will receive one in the weeks to come where a new 101/1001 list will be presented. I must say that I have kind of lost the track of this one for various reasons.

Introduction

This is a list of 101 things that I wish to complete photographically. All tasks are supposed to be completed in 1001 days, leaving about ten days for each item on the list. Some goals will require more effort than others and some goals will be more difficult to achieve in the allotted time frame while others may be quick but requires some other expenditure of effort or else.

The list is not complete yet, I will keep adding stuff to it whenever I come to think about something.

  • Stricken items are already completed.
  • Bold items are “in progress” of being completed.

The list started 2008-10-26!

Deadline

Last day is September 18th 2011
