18 Years

I've been working since late December to take a picture a day for at least a year, and I will say it's been pretty hard some days to find something different, something interesting to photograph. I will also say it's been a very rewarding undertaking; I've gotten used to taking my camera (and assorted gear) everywhere I go, I've been working to overcome my inhibitions in photography, and I've more than once enjoyed looking back at the previous five months.

Today, I just read of a man who took a photo a day for 18 years, long before digital cameras were invented. 18 years! Wow. My limited experiences over five months multiplies my appreciation for what he did. It even inspires.

18 years of Polaroids. Think about that. Under the link, see some of his photographs, including the one taken on the day he died in 1997.

The collection is being put on the web by friends here.
