I’ve tried (and failed) at Photo a Day projects before. But ever since I saw this article on that photographer’s film Photo a Day project, I’ve really wanted to do one myself. I originally shared that link to Facebook back in January, and what I said then still holds true, so I’ll repost it here.
There’s something about the way film captures a memory that is different than digital. The images aren’t as “perfect,” but they bring something with them that is lacking in photos taken with a phone or a digital camera. They feel more emotional, more like they are capturing how you remember something rather than just how you saw it. Maybe that doesn’t make sense, but it’s just different. Better, a lot of the time. I miss shooting film.
In the spirit of “better late than never,” I’m going to be starting my own “film photo a day” project, from September 2019 to September 2020.
One photo, each day, one year, with one camera, and one film.
Let’s see how it goes.
