The 365 Project - March Wrap-Up
It is now April and I’ve just uploaded image number 94 of my 365 project to Instagram, which means I am well into the second quarter of it. I’ve got no intention to quit yet...it is still a lot of fun to try and come up with an image every day to upload.
As the river runs
Just south of the city of Lund the river Höje (well more of a creek these days) runs through the fields and narrow woodlands along it. It's also a nice place for a stroll or a jog if you're so inclined. I chose the first of those two options, and captured these photos along the banks of the creek.
Green Celebrations in Copenhagen
Some days it is easier than others to be in street photography mode. March 17th is definitely one of those, if you're anywhere near a place where St.Patrick's Day is celebrated in some shape or form! Since Copenhagen is one of these places I've made it a tradition for me to go there to enjoy the sights and sounds of the day.
Street scenes in Malmö
In the last few weeks I've done a marginally larger amount of street photography after quite a slump in the first weeks of this year. I guess it has to do with the light returning after the short, dark days of winter. After all us photographers are "chasing the light" most of the time, and I think people out and about at this time of year do the same!
At the Con
This weekend I went to a local science fiction convention with my 13 year old nephew and much against my own character I didn’t take a camera with me. Weird huh? Well...not really. We were there two years ago, and then I tried to do both “baby” sitting and photography and that’s just not doable. Also, given how insanely crowded the place gets it wouldn’t really be possible for me to take any good photos had I been there on my own. My DSLR is just too big for that.
Still liking my project!
I’ve now done almost two months (complete but for one day) of my Instagram 365 project and it is still fun to do. I’m two twelfths, or one sixth if you will, done and hopefully I can keep this enthusiasm going well into the year.
Shooting graffiti...a new project?
A few days ago I listened to an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, The Candid Frame, hosted by Ibarionex Perello where he had the photographer Mick Victor as a guest. They talked about his project of photographing graffiti, tags and other decorations and markings on walls close enough to make them more abstracts, and therefore more "arty". I thought that sounded so utterly removed from the street photography that I often do that I just had to give it a go!
It's Double Exhibition Time!
It is a rare treat for me to be able to say that I’m showing photos in two locations at the same time, but at the moment that is actually the case. It's even rare to show them in one!
