an october project

Yesterday morning before work, I realized that I hadn’t taken a single photo for my 365 Project in October yet. And we’re already a week into my favorite month!

a note on food photography

I used to think that taking photos of food was just the hardest thing ever! It was beyond my abilities and most of my shots turned out unappetizing or just a bit gross, if you know what I mean. But after lots of practice I think I’ve gotten a bit better and I hardly ever [...]

A few months ago I read Shokoofeh’s post about her film photography collaboration project with Julie Broberg and I couldn’t wait to see what they created!

one year of photos

Last January I started the 365 project (one photo a day, everyday, for one year). I failed at taking a photo everyday and got pretty bummed the first few days I missed, but it was such a good experience and such good practice I made myself keep going. It might have helped that I made [...]
