1000 moments

I love taking pictures of people. I think people are so interesting and unique and so changing that's it really awesome to capture anyone in one moment of their life. It's fascinating how different everyone is, even though we are all still human beings. 

I just ran across Karen Walrond's blog Chookooloonks, which seems pretty cool in and of itself, but is more importantly when I found this awesome idea: taking 1000 portraits. She has set herself a goal to take 1000 pictures of people, for no other reason than to do so. I LOVE this idea. Seriously. I thought about doing a Photo 365 project where I would take a picture of a person everyday, but that would end up being 40% Katy, 30% Kavya, 30% other people; and as much as I love Katy's face, I love diversity too. But the idea of taking 1000 portraits . . . . 

I think I might do it. Could I do it? Definitely. (Especially since I expect to have seventy more years to try).  I want more than just a portrait though, I want words, and an explanation of that moment in someone's life. But that's totally do-able too. This is going to be great.

Here's a picture of Katy, just for fun and cause I think she's cute :)
