I loved this project from Samuel Ryde.
The idea is really simple.
Every day at 12:34, Ryde has an alarm that goes off, and he takes a photo of whatever he’s doing at that moment.
And the purpose of the photo is not to capture the best or most beautiful memory from that day, but rather to capture ordinary, daily life.
It makes a difference looking at his images and knowing they were all taken at exactly the same time of day.
Constraints make us more creative, and they can make the end work more powerful, meaningful, and beautiful.
I also love that Ryde picked 12:34pm for no other reason than it’s the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in sequence.
Ryde has kept his photo-taking streak for 10 years. As someone who is almost 3 years into their blogging streak, I’m inspired because I’ve still got a way to go before I hit that milestone!
