If you’re into photography and you can face Mondays, you might be interested in Plataforma Humana’s 100×100x100 project. The idea is to take pictures from when you wake up until you go to bed, taking on an average a picture every 10 minutes. Pictures of everything, anything that comes up, the bread (muffin, bagle, scone) that you eat for breakfast, the car in front of you, the old lady in the bus, your boss, your computer, your pen (pencil), everything or nothing, depending on what you do. The perfect excuse to take pictures of all that you wished you can take a picture of at some point in your life, but never had a good reason to do so.

The idea behind the project is to be able to see through a web page how many different people around the world spend a MONDAY. The project began 2 Oct 2006, but it appears that they need more entries. Go for it. I want to see what YOU do on Monday.

See what my dog did this past Monday? If you happen to see a love-crazed canine and a gold-digging feline hanging around your neighborhood, let me know.
