Day One Hundred and Four

by on Jan.28, 2010, under project 365

I had a whole story written out for today but I thought it would spark a totally non-photographic discussion. It had all kinds of keywords, such as eco, green, thieves, poor, toxic, selfish, proud, spiritual, problem. Let’s just both look at the image below and I’ll just throw one question out there: why is there no eco fee in Kenya, for example? And if I have it wrong and there is, I’d like to see a receipt.

Day Twenty Three

by on Nov.08, 2009, under project 365

As I have said before, this is a learning project. Why am I saying this? Because there are so many things that I try while making these photographs – different techniques (of lighting), different concepts, different stories. I must say that after making a good photograph I really look forward to tomorrows shot. I know that at some point I will get tired and energy will run out and I will be so much inclined to go take a picture of an empty bench or something else. Some day I might have to end up photographing the dumpsters or some garbage. I just didn’t know that that day would come so early in my project.

Oh.. and the stuff on the ground was already there. I didn’t crawl through the dumpster to get myself props. That day did not come yet.
