Photographic Projects for 2009 ?

Covey · 05-01-2009 11:10pm

I have a few on the go already;

I hope to finish a project on Postmen and women , which is 2/5th finished and the rest more or less planned, .

I hope to go back and complete something on the displacement of people I started 3 yrs ago in the Golan Heights.

A project on the Bank Crisis that is in the conceptional stage and may need a collaborator later on.

A very risky collaboration between myself and a non-photographic person thats way outside the box. Won't say more at the moment as it's still a bit iffy.

Four or Five more in various states of conception, that may never be born. But, I do hope to get through another four or five projects in any event.

Add to that the normal "street photography" and hopefully a bit of nature stuff thrown in as well.

Somewhere in between, do a bit of work, study, eat and sleep .....

For me, as a previous poster said - take more photos. i just bought my first DSLR - A Nikon D60 - so will be doing portraits, trying out some archtectural pics and of course a lot more of urbex

Explore more off the beaten track in my city and just shoot more.

A colleaugue at work just spent 5 days in Yosemite shooting the park at sunrise after fresh snow.....amazing shots.....but I have had enough of snow for a while....so maybe some B/W Yosemite in April and the playa in Death Valley in May or September...

I'll be doing SoFoBoMo again round about April. And less of a photo taking project as such - but i reeeeally need to sort out my wedding portfolio.

At the moment I'm looking to get into something but i'm at a loss so I need to wait for inspiration to hit, in the meantime i suppose i'll just keep on wandering round shooting randomly...

it's the waiting for inspiration bit that made me start this thread in the first place. I've started a list for myself of things I want to get done this year as I missed a few things last year...

It's been said elsewhere recently that productivity helps creativity - that you're more likely to come up with something if you're just out shooting anyway - so the suggestion is to just start a casual project on something that interests you, and see where it goes. The photojojo suggestion of doing 30 images of a single subject is probably a good help in that case. But I just can't seem to decide what to shoot. I want to have that 'new eyes' feeling I got when i started using the holga lens...
