Routines

365 Project Returns?

Posted in Goals, Personal, Photography by

I want to start a project, but I’m not sure how I’m going to do it.

I want to improve my photography and my self-esteem. To do that, I have this idea of resuming my 365 [photo] project. Take 1 picture everyday for 365 days, but this time, each photo needs to be a portrait of people—preferably people I don’t know.

I’m aware that this is how Humans of New York (aka HONY) started, but being a copycat is not my goal. I want to improve my tolerance for rejection.

Brandon Stanton’s goal was to take 10000 pictures of people to improve his photography.

It’s not as easy as it sounds. I feel like Filipinos are way more conservative than americans when it comes to having their photos taken by a stranger. People are understandably paranoid. I need to think of a way to make my subject comfortable to have their photos taken.

I need to start something that will put me outside of my comfort zone. I’m setting a deadline for myself to start this project before June.
