I’ve started shooting and posting a photo a day, on an online community. It’s a pretty common project, the photo-a-day. You can find all sorts of permutations all over the photographic web. I’ve done several of these in monthly installments, but this time it’s open-ended.
Like always, the importance of daily photo challenges is to actually make work, instead of letting your skills get rusty, or, perhaps worse, just talking about it. There’s always a temptation to become armchair experts, with today’s hyper-connectedness magnifying things even more. My pocket portal to the internet is a constant temptation to fixate on things which don’t matter.
I don’t consistently write blog posts – that should be quite evident by now. That doesn’t mean I’m not writing. I’ve been trying to put together a long-form piece on photography for a long while now. Photography isn’t hard to write about, but it’s hard to make a coherent larger writing project out of, I find. But taking a daily photo and posting it redeems the day. I’ve turned something in.
