A photo a day, from 2016-05-12 to 2017-05-11 (maybe 2017-05-12:). Each published (here) exactly one year later.

I started this project when I realized, I use my digital camera almost every single day. I always carry it with me. With changing lenses. Mostly two, maybe 3 or 4 when traveling. Most of the time I keep the same lens mounted for a view days. But once changed, it can take months or longer to get it mounted back to the front of the camera sensor.

My camera back is tall, but not wide. So it doesn’t matter if I have a small range finder lens or a long tele, basically it takes the same room. One lens or four, just more hassle to juggle them, but for carrying it doesn’t matter.

So after a while I got used to it and I realized, every woman in this world carries a hand bag with her all the time, so if they can, it is not such a hassle actually. Of course, my back is more like a colt holder, ready to shoot anytime ;).

So some day I realized, must be many weeks after the 2016-05-12, that I made photos daily in a row, might as well carry on and make it a 365 project. It still was much later to dig into the picture archive to identify the exact date where I had a day missing without any photo.

So today is one day left to complete it, I hope nothing gets lost before the second round starts in two days with publishing one each day, again for 365 days. Actually I expect that to select a photo and to edit it in Lightroom each day might be much more of a hassle and challenge than making the photos. As well as more time consuimg.

But I am eagerly waiting for this to start, as recently the focus has been on getting something on the SD card each day, which naturally did cut severely into the time being able to study the photos and learn from them and to make something out of and with them.
