With a 365 the photographer publicly takes the responsibility of taking and publishing one shot each of the 365 days which make a year. It’s a tough project, which forces consistency and dedication.
I wanted my 365 to be like a diary of my life and my ideas, so I needed a camera to always bring along, wherever I had to go, whatever I had to do. It wasn’t easy since quality and compactness are not exactly synonymous in digital photography.
Finally, for my thirty-third birthday I bought myself a Sony NEX-7, a great little professional system. With it I started my own 365 project (actually a 365+1 project, since 2012 is a leap year), which will end when I turn 34. I made the rule that every picture in the project must be taken with the NEX-7. Each photo gets published along with a short story on the project blog.

If that will be the case, […]

They always made me laugh when I was working here. First of all, I think I saw them only in the movies from the 70’s (besides […]

I liked the abstract monochrome shape of the thing and the white dust giving it the right amount of textures. So, can you guess the object?I spent the day […]

And it was 9.15. I ran out of the house and […]
