About 365

This project has its roots in the friendship of three photographers. Jake May, Libby March, and I met at Central Michigan University while working for the school newspaper. Since then, I've graduated and am on an internship in Indiana, while Jake and Libby are still pursuing their degrees in Mt. Pleasant. During my last semester at Central, we critiqued each others work and pushed each other to do more, go farther, and not settle. Hopefully this blog will be an extension of what we started there. Sean Proctor deserves a shout out here since he was the one that we got the 365 idea from in the first place. He shot the last of his 365 photos earlier this year.

I know we all have different reasons for wanting to take a photo everyday, and I think those reasons will evolve and change over the next 365 days, but for me I'm simply hoping to document my life through the discipline of continually producing work. I'm entering a major season of change and it will be interesting to see how that is reflected in my photos. "Fish or cut bait," one of my photo teachers told me. Here goes.

The only rule - one photo per day - for 365 days.

Jake May - 365
Libby March - 365
