Long-Term Project, Part 5

The Benefits
We can’t have a decision on long-term projects without also including some fun, now can we? After all if there are no benefits, why bother?
One of the most obvious benefits is that you’ve taken on that challenge and accomplished what you’ve set your mind to finish. Also, the motivation that comes from knowing there is a purpose behind what you’re shooting.
Who wouldn’t like seeing their work being displayed at an Art Gallery or in book form? This would also give you that great since of accomplishment besides possibly making some cold hard cash.
It’s good to have something to do when other work is slow. Really helps to keep that photographer in you moving and maybe even trying some new things.
Good luck! I’d love to hear about your long-term photography projects.
Here’s links to the rest of this discussion in case you missed it.

Long Term Project. Hmmm. Interesting reading your outline, thoughts, and plan. I have never thought about this in this particular manner. You have, however, certainly laid out something to ponder.
I wish I could do a long term project…but I’m in so many different directions that it’s hard to keep up. I think of the blog as my long term project. I can’t seem to go a day without a post.
Good luck on the projects!
