I admire the people who have the fortitude to commit to a “daily 365 photography challenge.” I am not one of them. I might be able to complete the Michael Beirut “100 Day Project” if I chose a very clearly defined project, e.g., take a photograph of my left hand every day for 100 days (and assuming I didn’t get bored of it). But maybe a month. I think I can sustain a daily project for a month (actually, just four weeks). So that’s what I’m committing to do:
Take one photograph a day each day for a month, organized by the theme “Still Life.” Each photograph posted here.
I chose still life as the type of photography because I want to improve my skills using flash. I tell myself I can produce 28 photographs (in addition to any other photos I might take). And I tell myself this will be a good exercise in developing my photographic skills. I tell myself this will be long enough to be useful without being so long as to be a burden. But I tell myself lots of things that turn out not to be true.
In any event, here is the first photograph:
