I've created different series for different subjects. When I get new shots for that subject it gets added to the series. If I had to stick to one subject for years I'd be crazy. I can't even do it for a few days.
Very well written, I like their suggestions. I've got about five long-term projects going right now, everything from a few months to four years in length.
I'm fascinated with this now. I think I will also have multiple subjects.
For example, I want to do something that is in one location, and get it over the course of ten years, to show the passage of time.
Then I really want to take on a subject that embodies the south. But what? Barns, disappearing mom and pop stores, front porches???
Lol apologies, I'm thinking out loud
I have numerous long term projects to which I add when I find an appropriate subject. Ex: barns, windows, lighthouses, reflections, wrought iron, benches--to name a few. It is exciting to add a new example to one of my "collections". This keeps me motivated and interested.
I work pretty long hours in the world's most plain office building, and I've photographed every thing in that building there is to photograph. Ten times over. :) And one day I just sort of decided to embrace that - it's hard to explain, but I kind of blather on about it in the set.
I have all these display ideas - I saw an exhibition once on Art:21 by Hiroshi Sugimoto that I really liked. But...then it felt a little like copying, and I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere near on his level, so it'd be pretty cheeky to copy him. :) So I'm still working that part out.
I'm working on a photography book called Light Trails of South Carolina. I just shoot trails wherever I go in the state.
I'm spend the next four years shooting photos of about 40+ reenactments of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.
I'm shooting time-lapse photography along the east coast from Virginia to Florida for a time-lapse video called Coastal Landscapes: Volume II.
I've also been working on an assignment from National Geographic for about six months now. I thought I would be done by now, but it looks like it will take at least another year. I'm shooting a photo spread on the Gullah people from Charleston, SC to Savannah, GA.
I've got my 365 pictures into the albums by series. The albums that are from april to april contain the pictures that do not fit a series. I still have last year on here until april comes at which time I will be deleting them from my fb page to make room for the new year.

That's about all I'm doing. ;)
