Photography
Back in April 2011 I started lining up my tripod with some marks on the deck and taking a photo of the backyard. I did that as often as I could for a year, sometimes missing days because it was too dark or cold. I was planning on making a time-lapse but settled on this version modelled after the process I used for my Everyday photos. Two years later I'm finally sharing the result.

I've been loving the work by Tokyo-based photographer Suguru Azuma (a.k.a. Airnude). He's got a great Instagram feed and this documentary video explains his photographic process. He tries to minimize the amount of time spent between first seeing something and then making a photograph of it. It's a process at odds with mine but I gave it a try this week.
My average face from Oct 23, 2011 – Oct 22, 2012.
I’ve been taking photos of myself since October 23, 2011 in the spirit of Noah Kalina’s project of the same name. I saw this averaged image of his 12½ year video by Than Tibbets and wanted to try it with my own data.
For the first year I was taking the photos using the Everyday app for iPhone. The guides in the app have been helpful lining up the shots but I’ve moved to a bit more of a built-in solution: I’ve got a repeating alarm set up to go off at 6:38 each day and then I use the iPhone camera app with the grid to loosely set the shot.
I haven’t seen too much change in one year—the hairstyle is the same, a few lines have deepened—but I expect this to be ongoing.
