About Project Photo
Project Photo is an online gallery of the various photo projects created by Dan Gronitz. A few of these projects will be open to the public which means you will be able to contribute to certain projects. Skill level should not be a factor should you decide to participate. All that really matters is the image you submit. There will be more information on "public projects" and how to submit an image once I finish "cleaning" up the site a bit more.
The idea behind Project Photo is to catalog my progress as I attempt to learn the ins and outs of photography. With many of my hobbies, when I start out I quickly find a "comfort zone" which I later tend to stick to wholeheartedly. I get into a rut and then find that my passion for learning new techniques slows down. I don't want to trap myself into only one "type" of photography style. Project Photo is my attmept to prevent that by serving myself (and you from time to time) different projects that will pull me out of any comfort zone I may have stumbled into.
For each project there will be a title, start date, length and description. The title should give you a good indication of what the project will be about but if you have any doubts the description will provide more details. The start date is obviously the date and time the project will start. However, the length of the project will vary anywhere from a second to a lifetime. There are some project ideas that I have which may require us to snap images at a specific time - maybe not right down to the second, but you never know.
I'm not sure of the future of this site just yet. I'm not sure if it'll become more of a community or more of a personal gallery down the road. Either way I hope the site becomes a source of inspiration to you to develop some photography projects of your own.
