I've been giving some serious thought to embarking upon a year-long daily photo project, and today I just decided to go for it. As daunting as this sounds, there are many things motivating me to do it right now, namely the opportunity to grow as a photographer.
Ever since I was introduced to James Kochalka's American Elf, an amazingly simple and awesome and beautiful daily web comic, I've been noticing moments in my daily life that I want to point out/remember/express. As a collection, American Elf is simple and poignant and SO inspiring, creatively speaking. Here's the first one EVER all the way back in 1998 (and he's managed to keep doing it to this day!)
I doubt that I'll be able to keep up this project as long as James has, but I had I similar feeling today as in this comic. Here's my first photo to get things kicked off, but you can keep up with the project on my Flickr page: My Photostream
This is a totally awesome picture!
