I'm becoming more aware of how important it is to live and be alive and be motivated by all the world has to offer.
I used an Alan Watts quote in my last post, and will probably use his words in many more to come, but I have a bit of knowledge for us all: "Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence." I'm not dismissing the importance of productivity, because it is very important, but I believe there is also significance in finding meaning and completely understanding ourselves in the here and now.

Hi, guys.
I'm starting a 365-day photo project. It’s simple. From this day forward, I will create one photograph, each day, for an entire year.
A project of this sort is something I’ve been contemplating for a while now, but I only recently convinced myself to stop making excuses and begin this thing at once. I was reluctant at first because I didn’t feel like I'd be able to fully commit myself to a project of this size due to my busy and unpredictable schedule. But now I understand that it’s not about finding or making the time, but about making this a part of my life. It’s like Alan Watts once said, “The only way to understand the world around us is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” I need to make the most out of myself so I can make the most out of the world around me.
My primary purpose for embarking on this journey is self-improvement. These photographs will not follow any particular genre or theme, so expect a variety of content. I intend for this project to be a visual representation of my feelings, thoughts, and life as it happens, but most importantly, I want to be able to look back and remember every day. So, with that said, here goes nothing!

I've spent the better part of the past week storyboarding and solidifying a plan for my first assignment. The theme, as I mentioned in last week's post, is journey. It has been a challenge narrowing down a story, especially one that is fictional, but I believe I've finally arrived at something that will not only grip my audience, but present a topic that is relatable.
In short, without giving too much away, my aim with this assignment is to display the struggle of an insomniac. I want to really visualize intimate thoughts and dreams as well as the personalized remedies people use to reach sleep. Sleep, for insomniacs, is a journey in itself.
I haven't filmed much for the assignment yet, but I've spent some time getting used to shooting video. I've spent enough time conceptualizing potential sequences, I just need to make them happen.
Stay tuned for more.
