April 4, 2018

          My motivation to do this series was the urge to contain a day and to capture what my norm is at this point in my life. After graduation, my day is going to be much different: in location, in activity, and in people. This is a documentation of my day pictured in 24 photographs. Each photograph was taken within each hour of my day on April 4th, creating 24 images.

         This series of photographs was taken on a Yashika-Mat twin lens reflex camera. I restricted myself to 2 rolls of film; each roll of film for my camera has 12 images. I then made silver gelatin prints in the darkroom.

         Since I was unable to retake a photograph for that hour I spent the whole day thinking about what would make the best image for the hour. The next day after I finished photographing this project I woke up at four in the morning about to reach for my camera to take another picture. This project made me aware of what I see in my day and made me constantly think about taking a picture every hour for 24 hours.
