Kendo 365

(UPDATE: this project was stopped 11 months in… however, the images that were taken are available on this site HERE)

A new side-project from kenshi247 editor George was unleashed on the unsuspecting public today:

The premise of the website is simple: using an iphone, take and upload a creative kendo related picture everyday (if possible) for a year.

The aims of the project are two-fold:

  1. develop a better eye for creativity whilst taking pictures;
  2. share images from my daily kendo life with readers of kenshi247.net.

I hope people will enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I do taking them, cheers!!

p.s. the picture in the banner above is am iphone taken and edited pic

    Hi Rolo,

    Yes, every single pic in the kendo365 project will be taken (and edited more than likely) on my iphone.

    If you want to develop a better eye, why all the post-processing?

  • George McCall

    I have the end, processed result in mind when I take the pictures, which is a (generally) totally different way I take pictures with my DSLR.

    In the same vein I also put tabasco on perfectly tasty pizza…

    At the end of the day, I guess, its a personal style thing.
