I’m allowing myself a little grace from this assignment today. While I didn’t actually shoot this today, I did process it today. This is from my Friday shoot with Aux Choux. I love the imperfections of this photo as I was shooting hand-held through a glass in the display case. – Kyle Dreier

For years growing up we always had these slabs of wood from those crates in our garage. They recently found their way to my garage. Determined not to [...]
Good morning. Remnants of a quilt Amy is making caught my eye and became the subject of my shoot this morning. – Kyle Dreier
Just so you know, you may notice two posts/photos in a single day. I’m allowing myself a little grace as the intent of this self imposed assignment is to shoot. Shoot more than normal. Shoot to be pushed. So, the net will be one photo per day, but you may see me shooting to get [...]
