I accepted a challenge back in May to take and publish one picture a day for one year. Little did I know, this challenge would awake the little photographer in me who has been hiding out for a few years. This picture a day gig has become very important to me. I feel like it is bigger than a silly photo a day. It's a collection. It's art. It's challenging. And I think it's inspiring.

Day 190, Missoula Rabble, Sean
While Sean was out walking in the blistering cold, I could hear Eminem blasting from his coat pocket. I asked him if he'd like to be in the rabble. "Why not? Everybody knows about me anyway," he said. "Why is that?" I asked him. "Maybe it's because I'm so damn handsome," he replied. I asked Sean why he was listening to his music without headphones. "I'm schizophrenic," he said. "The music keeps me calm. It gives me something to listen to." I asked Sean if he had anything else he'd like to tell about himself before we separated. He laughed and sharply responded, "I'm innocent."

Day 188, Missoula Rabble, Teddy
Teddy recently found out he's a father to a little girl. "I didn't know I was a father until she was a year," he said. "I'm a full-fledged father now." He said his daughter's name is Ailish which he told me means 'little miracle' in Irish-Gaelic. "She is a little miracle. She's a blessing in disguise," he said. He told me he wasn't in the best place in his life when he found out. "I was not necessarily the best father figure, but it has whipped me into shape," he said. "I've had to put a lot of things aside. Resentments, fears, and personal growth to focus on this, having a daughter." I asked Teddy what's best about being a new father. "The best part of being a dad is how in awe I am that I was able to create life when I was used to destroying life before," he said. "It has really humbled me. I'm not as selfish anymore. I'm trying to build the best life I can for this person."
