For my Photography and Moving Pictures class we worked on an "everyday" assignment. This is a collection of pictures starting from September 1st to December 1st that showed things that happened in my day. Most of these were shot simply using my iPhone camera. Some are nicer or more pleasant then others but I choose to focus on more on things happening around me. However this lead me on to thinking about a longer project. I'm now gearing up to take on a full 365 starting on New Years Day. I'd like to do 2 sets, one with my SLR and one with my iPhone. I'm moving to California in just 6 weeks and knowing I'm going to have to take a break from school. With that I'm focused on devoting a part of everyday to my photography. It will be a challenge but I'm going to be immersed in a whole new world and I want to share my new life with everyone. For now here's my last 3 months... =)
