Project 365: January 2019

January 1, 2019 by Brad Tollefson Leave a Comment

After failing to complete the same project back in 2016, I’ve decided to give another shot at taking and posting a photo for every day of the year. I’m sure this will be easy on the days I have work, but I don’t look forward to my off days.

Not everything will be posted on time, but I’ll get them up as soon as I can. This way I’m not backed up with old posts.

This cornerstone page will direct you to each month of the year, or you can continue on to see the posts from February.

I grew tired of paying the cost to get my film developed out of town. So I finally purchased my own darkroom supplies. (Including this film developer reel.) This should be a fascinating exercise because I have never done any darkroom work.

Project 365: 2019

January 1, 2019 by Brad Tollefson Leave a Comment

After attempting, and failing to keep up with a Project 366 back in 2016, I have decided to give it a more substantial effort this year.

While I am not concerned about finding content for the days I am on assignment. I will be looking for inspiration to provide a variety of different images on my off days.

The ultimate goal for this project is to print a coffee book including each picture from the year. Then eventually continue the project for each year to build a collection of printed books.

Primarily the project will live on my Instagram profile. But on this page, you’ll find links to posts for each month of the year.

After struggling for the first few days, January went pretty smoothly.

Photos of the Year: 2018

January 1, 2019 by Brad Tollefson Leave a Comment

Another year is in the books. And 2018 was one to remember for many reasons. In the spring I was able to follow along as Tech basketball went to Dallas for the NCAA tournament, and then I traveled to Omaha as baseball made it to the College World Series. In fall I covered all twelve football games for the first time.
Additionally, it was my busiest year to date for freelance work. Filled with many new clients and several repeats. As evidenced by some of the pictures below.

Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State

By dumb luck I caught Brandone Francis falling backwards after being accidentally hit by OSU’s Lindy Waters.
