This is my second year of making a daily photograph with intentionality. 2017 was my first year and I really enjoyed it.

I love the creative process and working to make something new every single day pushes me out into the world to see new things and capture them. I'm constantly trying new things and then working with them for several images, playing with variants and experimenting. I'm trying not to be too picky and if I get in a bind I'll photograph wherever I am.

Join me this year and see what happens. If you'd like to be a part of the journey, let me know when you are available and I'll schedule a session with you for fun. We can make a portrait, or photograph something cool that you have, or whatever.

2018 - a New Year, a New Blog

Bill Ledbetter December 30, 2017

My effort in 2017 to create a single, interesting photograph every day seems to be reasonably successful, so I thought I do it again here in 2018. I'm going to post the photos in a blog format this time, making it easier to see the last few, and perhaps harder to see them all at once.

My thoughts are about the same as last year, although I didn't write all these down at the start:

The photograph has to be made that day.
It doesn't have to be perfect, or even of portfolio quality.
It should be intentional. I don't really want a photo that lands at my feet, I'd rather actually make it with something in mind.
It can be of anything, although if I had my druthers it would be of a person or a few people.
It would be cool if the making of the photographic image advanced my expertise in a technique or gave me a new capability. I want to push myself to try new things.

So, here goes with a new year!
