Dear Diary,
Without getting involved in the public display of humility, I started the one camera/lens/film challenge about 12 hours ago. I now realized that my creativity has been artificially stifled so I am hereby removing myself from the challenge. Yes, I am weak but firmly committed to making good images so it's back to my old ways. Good luck to y'all!

I would say that the 1 lens, 1 camera body is not a purist approach to this Nirvana-esque goal.
Since the lens could come off, I propose that only fixed lens cameras be considered.

Dear Diary. Day one.The beginning of something unknown
Since I am about to embark on a 1 year long experiment of just using one camera with one lens, I have to by default, use a digital camera on this one, if I am to allow for any photographic moment to prevail. But, I will use a Leica M mount lens to keep with the spirit of the challenge. (ZM 50mm f/1.5 C-Sonnar T*... I will only use f/1.5 as a further limitation)
I have been experimenting with the sacred "Film Noir Look" for a week or so... My images at the offset will reflect this for now.
I guess hellenhill and others have inspired this at the moment.
Taken Today... My start day.
I may not post an image everyday... but at least once a week.
I am not a traveler, so, my images are very local.

I enjoy using some of these cameras too much to not use them for a year, but I really like the idea of this. I even have a fixed lens 135 that would be perfect, it's even a zone focus so I would learn a lot.... but.... I don't think I can do it.

Could also drill a hole in your lens cap and use same lens as a pinhole camera too I guess, any more possibilities anybody can think of with just one single lens?
