The Blog of Photographer Jacob Vorpahl.
For the last month or so, I’ve contemplated doing a 365 day photo project (a picture a day for a year) to try and jump start my photographic passion. Sometimes life just gets too busy and photography, since it’s not required, gets pushed to the backburner. I’d like for that to change, at least some. I want to do a project that will make me push myself creatively, mentally, but also stylistically and artistically. I want to broaden my photographic eye, so to speak, and a large project like that just might work. Right now I have some commitments that might interfere with a picture every day, but we might be able to find ways to work around that. I’m testing the waters right now, so here’s my first attempt at ‘branching’ out a little bit:
I had some yard work to do amongst a busy schedule yesterday so I figured I’d try and squeeze a picture in during that time. I mounted my D80 with a Tamron 11-16mm WA lens to my lawnmower via a superclamp and went ahead moving it around. It was very hard to get one clean capture since the ground isn’t perfectly flat so I decided to make a run on some concrete since it was smooth.
We’ll see where this goes. Wish me luck.
