I'll give it a go.
Splendid, I am pondering using the oldies, one week each of GFs1-5 (sans 3, which I dont have), plus either the GM1 or 5 to round it off. Lens choice not pondered yet, but going for one through the whole thing could be interesting.@JensM You *can* use any restrictions you wish, but they're not mandatory.
Anyhow, you see quite a few veterans of previous monthly challenges contemplate additional objectives,so it's probably not something you *shouldn't* do - you just don't have to ...

In all seriousness though I do have some studio and still life experience, I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means, but it does help. I haven't pulled out the kids old wooden trains yet, but given my goal of comparing the 14mm, 20mm, & 25mm focal lengths from both a fixed distance and different distances to fill the frame equally; you might see them this time.I am in, it will be fun to shift into a "whatever camera, but only the good shots" mindset. I doubt I'll be able to shoot every day (in winter many of my single in photos end up being indoors after it's dark out and I'm o0ff work, I've plumbed those depths pretty much entirely), but will see what I can get!
Thanks Matt - I'd like to participate. I had a lot of fun with SiO. Regardless of the Vision 2020 rule, I had already been thinking of doing a personal one-camera/one-lens project of my own in January. So I'll probably just treat it as a personal SiJ anyway. Either way, I'm in!
Hmm, so this is whatever tool is at hand sort of thing?

You know you want to.Hm...... Mulling this over.....
And thank you for agreeing to this.Okay, folks, I'll set up the challenge later today - and to take off the pressure, I'll even forgo a participants' list this time; the challenge will run the whole month, and every contribution is valued, even if you can only make it just one single image.
Noone has to commit to a full month, but of course, for those who want to experience the vibe of a monthly challenge, shooting and posting daily is encouraged, but please also feel free to explore the completely open format - *if* you can make it, even just once, you'll be featured in the final collage.
N.B. I've found a couple of applications that make producing a collage fairly easy - but I'm still looking for someone who'll do a better job than a mere script.

I can be so clueless sometimes. I thought to myself, "yeah, i could never commit to a 365 challenge." The trick with the Daily challenge is that there is no finish line.And thank you for agreeing to this.
I'm not sure I could do a 365 project. But these monthly challenge projects get me out shooting. Even if I end up with similar shots, it's shooting and I usually try and find something new and different. I have new continuous light I'm going to try and add to the mix this time as well.
It's kind of the "AA" principle of "one day at a time", continuosly ... In our case, it starts - and more or less ends - with "CC": Carry a Camera - at all times, or, reversely, just "one day at a time"; of course, you also need to shoot with said camera, but if you carry one, you'll find yourself using it, or else, what sense would it make ...I can be so clueless sometimes.

Repetition is the spice of life. No, wait . . .I have the E-P7 in my work bag every day. Just pulling it and using it every day is the challenge. I tend to try and think of new ways to shoot things I've shot before as it is. If I went 365 straight there would probably be a lot of repetition.
The small, simple and mundane is your friend there ... And never forget it's *making* an image out fo what you find, not just *taking* prime opportunities. But of course, you know all that.I have the E-P7 in my work bag every day. Just pulling it and using it every day is the challenge.
