24 Hour Project recap

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

The 2017 edition of the 24 Hour Project was the first time I have participated so I was a bit unsure what to expect. I took the afternoon off from work on Friday with hopes of getting a few hours of sleep. I did lay down for a bit and got some rest but sleep was elusive as the excitement of the pending 24 hours was too much to overcome. What this meant was that I was about to be up for 42 hours before falling asleep early Sunday.

I met up with my friend Jake at 11:30 Friday night and we drove into Milwaukee. Our planned first stop was the area around Oakland and North. I posted my first photo of the night in Von Trier at 12:13am and enjoyed a tasty Founders Breakfast Stout. Second shot of the night happened just outside Von Trier as we left at 1:03am. From there we took some photos around the donut shop on the corner of North and Oakland and then had a drink at the Eastsider.

Bars in Wisconsin close at 2am so we wandered the area a bit but quickly decided to find people at Ma Fischer’s Diner. This was my third photo, outside the restaurant at 2:31am, and my fourth inside at 3:29am.

24 Hours, 24 Photos

I’ve wanted to participate in this event for the past couple of years but the timing has not worked out. This year the timing is right and I’m really excited for it. 2017 will be the 6th edition of the 24 Hour Project where photographers across the world document the human condition in their city for a day and post one photo per hour over the 24 hour period. The first year there were 65 photographers covering 24 cities and it has since grown to nearly 3000 photographers in over 700 cities worldwide.

My bud Jake immediately committed to the project when I asked him if he wanted to join me and we have decided on Milwaukee, WI as the city we will document. I’ve loaded up on extra batteries for my Fuji X100T and will rely on good food, lots of coffee and plenty of determination to make it through the entire day. You can check in on our adventure this April 1 (no joke!) by following both of us on Instagram and I’ll surely have plenty to share from the project so expect a followup post here as well.
