ANATOMY OF LONG TERM PROJECTS #panAFRICAproject In a couple of days I board a plane bound for Tanzania. It will be my fourth visit to Africa photographing for my latest Long-term Project. Nothing in photography is as satisfying as a self-motivated photo essay. Long-term projects come in all shapes and sizes. Some may be assignments from clients while others are series of photographs that evolve over a period of time. But my favorites are the personal ones that highlight photography as a source for passion, personal expression, communication and social change. The final outcome can be as traditional as a book or exhibition or as contemporary as a website, blog or multimedia piece. 8| PicsArt Monthly
