One photo a day project again 2017 & into 2018 here….
Sunday 11th December 2016. It has been 1 year since I started this project which began as a 30 day experiment. I then continued with a few more rounds and ended up keeping it going. It has been a good discipline and has served as a visual journal. Some of the photos are pretty mundane and a handful are a little more interesting and I can see new work developing out of them. I am going to continue taking photos regularly as a result of this. I will share new projects and bodies of work again here in future. Thank you for being on this journey with me those of you who have followed this. In the meantime I share other work regularly on Instagram so please feel free to follow on there.

Having shared a photo everyday for 30 days, I had a 2 day gap, then decided to continue for another 30 days. It is the same very simple premise (See Day 1 text at bottom of page).
This is a documentation process.
Over the period of this project, I am discovering what draws my attention, observing any repetitions in subject matter, whether a narrative of sorts emerges, or if there is an underlining feeling that has continuity between photographs.
I am watching this project unfold organically with no destination for the arrow. This is life; a succession of moments of awareness, some sharper than others. Life can be beautfiul one minute and utterly mundane or banal the next. We flit between many states throughout any given day. Now, the unfolding of this project continues.

Project (Daily discipline):
Keep in the habit of seeing with the Artists lens.
Have camera with me every day.
Share one photo from that days collection, every day for 30 days
(regardless of whether happy with it or not)
Simply capturing one moment of awareness, no matter how simple, mundane or seemingly insignificant.
See what happens…
