RE: How Taking Just One Photo a Day has Changed My Life #Introduceyourself
Very cool. I'd never be able to stop at just 1 per day though. LOL
Been shooting for more than half my life at this point, so to stop at 1 per day at this rate would mean to slow down. In the meantime, I also have a kind of 365 project I do, which is the 1-second-per-day video project. I've done 3 now, for 2012, 2013, and 2014. Some of the best memories of my life are in those videos and one became popular enough to land me in some big news outlet reports. There's definitely rewards to such projects, and not just monetary, so kudos to you on yours and it having such a positive impact on your life. It's refreshing to see when people are able to find something they can have such passion in.
Hi! That's a cool project and sounds really familiar. Is it possible I saw you in the big news outlets? Thanks so much for your comment. As a photographer, you will know that I don't take just one photo, I take many to get the right angle, light+shadows, and composition to tell the story I want to say. I agree: the memories are the most valuable reward for a project like this. I look forward to following you!
Possibly, but there were several others that were far more popular than mine. Sam Cornwell had one that began from the day of his son's birth. My most popular one also had my son's birth, but I go from January 1 to December 31 and his birth wasn't until November.
On a similar note, the collages of your sons are terrific!
Here's the video I posted if you're interested.
That was incredible! You did a great job of telling your story, I love how you varied the videos you used, I got a good sense of who you are and what your style is. You are a busy photographer, I saw a lot of jobs in there! Thank you for sharing it. I think your project is amazing. Why did you not continue? It seems like it would be overwhelming to edit it all at the end of the year.
I skipped 2015, but when the year was over I really wish I had kept it up. So, I started again for this year. I expect to be posting it on January 1. Also, if you keep up on the editing throughout the year, by the time December 31 comes around it's very easy to complete and get posted.
