45 Days

It’s been 45 days since launching this site and it’s been quite an interesting project so far. I thought I would interject here and comment on a few of my observations so far. First, I would say that it has definitely accomplished one of my goals and forced me to actually think about photography each and every day. Almost to the point of being a burden, I have had to try and be creative and think up something new for each photo. While this may not seem too difficult to most, I quickly became very aware of the fact that I have no life. And so I rapidly ran out of backgrounds and props. Another observation is that I really don’t like photos of myself very much. While it seemed great in theory, actually seeing the pictures start to accumulate was a little eerie. I think that overall it’s still a worth while project, but I have been thinking about modifying the theme a bit and maybe focusing on a new subject each month. I just don’t know if I can handle 365 days of just me.
