Thus in your photography project, curate and edit as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How general or specific does your projects need to be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For example, you can take more poetic license with your projects. A project which is ongoing is this general notion of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Life & Death\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The basic notion is the transience of life and death \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and my takeaway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transience of life is what makes it beautiful, and worth it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to work on a project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
No. You can just shoot a bunch of photos you like, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153single images\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and just figure out how to string them together afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is totally legitimate too. Josef Koudelka<\/a> did this with his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exiles<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009dproject \u00e2\u20ac\u201d he just traveled the globe for 10 years, and chose a selection of images afterwards to describe his emotional and mental state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are we pressured to work on cohesive projects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is certainly a pressure that our photo projects should be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153intelligible\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (understood by others). But what if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to be understood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
