When doing your 365 project, did you ever feel pressure to keep producing better and better work? And did you ever want to quit?

Yeah it was definitely a thought in the back of my head, but I feel that way with all of my photography. For the 365 I actually felt that less than with my normal photography (over at derekwoodsphotography) because there are times I don’t shoot models for many months and there is always that thought that creeps in, “what if Ive lost my touch?" 

For the 365 it was liberating knowing I was just shooting my everyday life I didn’t have to set something up or book a location or HMU. 

Where the real pressure came in was to make sure I was doing enough interesting stuff. There was about a third of the year that Julie and I were dealing with moving, which made dealing with anything else really hard. I was really worried in there that I wouldn’t produce any good shots, or even be able to shoot at all. I got lucky that I found ways to shoot the moving process and Im actually happy with how I feel the photos tell that story. 

As for quitting I never let it be anything I was going to be allowed to do. I intentionally posted a lot about it and did the posting a month late so I would one be publicly accountable, and two, give myself a buffer.
