Appears to be an interesting project but I have a hard enough time getting my head around what I'm likely to be doing tomorrow, let alone whether (a) I'm likely to be here in 2021 and/or (b) whether I'll remember to go back to this website and see the output in almost 8 year's time.

I do hope this fella is a superb photographer as people are going to be a bit hacked off if they've waited all that time only to have to wade through a load of photos of a quality they could have seen on some of the less exciting sites on Flickr........ ???

I've got a decade-long project going too. I hope to take a picture somebody likes. I'm in year 7 so far. I D&P my films immediately and show them to as many people as possible.

I hope to make it. But perhaps I should just take a picture for me.

If you get bored waiting here's another ten year film project, but it's done and already dusted.

Hi Sandeha - thanks so much for sharing. It's such a wonderful project. As I have mentioned on here before, I sometimes miss a narrative on FW. But yours are spot-on. Love the nudes, the sea, the old cars especially.

Glad you like it Zap, it was a very healthy thing to do from a psychological perspective ... and cheaper than printing.  ;)  Good luck with yours.

This sound like a great idea for me.

I play with the camera and shoot, somebody else looks after editing, back up, presentation which is the stuff I am crap at getting around to :)

Well, the photos in the galleries he has included on that site are very strong, so I dare say the final Uber Gallery will be impressive, but I'm not sure I'd last the pace.

Although, I assume that the 'lucky' annual editors have to do all the D&P/Scan work...in which case I like the cut of this man's jib. What a very nice way of getting other people to do all of the hard work for you.

If anyone wants to curate my output (not a figure of speech!) for the next 12 months I'll even start shooting something other than instant film again  ;D

Sorry, but just one question springs to mind.  Why?

He'll be mighty ****ed off if he has forgotten to take the lens cap off.
