New Project.

I know it has been a long time, well over a year since I posted on my blog. I would say from being busy, but actually, just lazy and forgetfulness.

A lot has happened in the past year. Christmas 2009 I spent 2 hrs in a snow ditch waiting for a tow in the middle of a SD Blizzard. Bought a car. Lost friends, and gain some old ones back and new ones, only to lose the new friends (they weren't important) also have a journey of finding my place in this world which I hope to say is with someone. As well as many other things in between.

So my project is going to be some photo projects. First one is, "A day in the life....." and Josh agreed to be my subject. I follow him for a day, take pictures of his life, people, objects, views. Everything I feel I want to document.

The other, which makes me very excited is "100 Strangers" I basically get 100 people to allow me to photograph them. I ask a few questions about their life, and document it. I think this will be exciting and I am very pumped to start this. My first subject I think will be the old guy who collects cans around town on his bike with a little trailer behind him :)

Partially this was inspired by my little cousin who is doing a 365day project. As well as by the person who bought me my new camera and has put faith into my ability to capture people/moments.

So I will post here when I do my first project "A day in the life....."
