365 — Johnny Patience

I'm doing this for one hundred days today. That's so hard to believe. I'm also in the US for 100 days today, which is even harder to get my mind around.

I'm so glad I committed to do a 365, to remember the moments Rebecca and I made alone. I learned so much and I've tried so many things photographically that I would otherwise have never done. Some of my favorite pictures ever are from this project and if it wasn't for Gary's constant encouragement, we would possibly never have tried darkroom printing, which completely changed my life and how I see my own photography.

This project has been very therapeutic and helpful for me on many levels. I dare to fail again and try new things, get out of my comfort zone and evolve. I allow myself to make mistakes. I'm very thankful for that. I'm very curious to read how Rebecca will feel after she completes her first 100 days.
