For over 15 years I have taken at least one photograph every day. I post photographs to this site and to my social media feeds when I have time, typically a week or two after the image is captured. Postings here and to my social media feed are lumpy, but I do actually photograph every day, and I will continue this project for the rest of my life. Sometimes I get behind in posting (as long as a month behind) – posting is boring. I never get behind in photographing.
My subjects are varied – I seek some out and others just happen. I didn’t intend this project to be diary, but it inevitably is.
For every day I include a look back to the same day in some past year – otherwise past images would be lost forever. On social media I post both current images and images looking back to the same day in earlier years, which is visually fine but can seem confusing. I’m more selective in my social media posts. I have over 100,000 followers in Instagram and X.Â
I started this project on October 16, 2009 and have posted a picture taken each day without a miss. This website is my primary tool for documenting this project.

While I think of it Woody and not being able to contact you via Insta or an available email address here… is there a chance you would be interested to come and talk about this on Photography Daily, the podcast? My kindest, Neale
Sure
Yes
What an absolutely inspirational idea, to the core. I mean this transcends 365, not that that’s not a challenge within itself, but this… THIS, is something else. Kindest, Neale

Hi Woody, I’ve been following your blog for a while now and I think your work is just great! I didn’t realize though how very hard it is to do that simple “one photo a day” until I tried it myself. I started just two months ago a similar project called Eighty Miles a Day (www.Thecityinpictures.blogspot.com) and after only 70 days, I am starting to realize just how very hard it is. It makes me admire your work even more!! Thank you for the inspiration! Best regards, Virginia
