When I started my photo-a-day project, I had so many rules around it. Stuff like…
🌠 Only one selfie a year! Matter fact, let’s make my birthday selfie day.
🎇 I must personally be the one to click the shutter.
🌃 All shots should be landscape shots with the same 3:4 ratio.
🌅 It’s not a beauty contest. The photo that best tells the story of the day always beats the aesthetic one.
I’ve abandoned a lot of the rules, and I’ve probably forgotten even more. I’ve done this for thirteen years, so technology has changed. The norms around photography have changed. The platforms for sharing has changed.
But the one rule that’s stayed the same… perhaps the only rule… is that last one.
