Shutter September

It's September soon, and this year, it is the perfect month to start a new experiment for several reasons.

For one, September 1st is on a Monday, which is just like the most satisfying shit ever. I love when this happens, and when I become King of the World, I'll change the calendar in such a way that it happens every month. September 18 is also my birthday, which is why, for 10 years straight, I am off for two weeks. This gives me enough free time to do weird experiments like this.

So, this month's experiment is called "Shutter September." And as you probably have guessed, it's all about photography.


In one of my favorite Discord channels, a whole bunch of my friends started regularly posting pictures. Some of them have gotten into analog photography (maybe obsessively so), while others got new gear and just made their camera part of their EDC. My GAS flares up every time this is the case, but as you can see from the image above, if there is one thing I am not lacking, it's photography gear.

Here is the plan: for the whole month I will be taking my camera wherever I go and taking at least one share-worthy picture a day. I will upload these to both my Glass.photo profile and my Instagram. I hate Instagram, but it's unfortunately where most people are. If you hate Instagram as much as I do and have no Glass.photo account, don't worry. Glass.photo has RSS feeds for each profile, so here is mine, just subscribe to that.

The goal is not to win the Sony World Photography Awards (but Sony can sponsor this project, if they want; hit me up!) but to flex my photography muscle. I want to find stuff to shoot even on the most boring day, because to quote Wesley, "consistency matters more than perfection".

Wish me good light!
