Design Storytelling

Thx to Scott Thrift @mssngpeces for reminding me of something I miss daily.

Jonathan Harris’s Today project.

This compilation film of all his photos taken over one year serves as a reminder of the sparkling gems that use to await me in my inbox each morning. How I miss that brief daily moment of visual joy.

I’m sorry Jonathan stopped this project, but it’s good to hear why he did, what it meant to him and that he misses it too.

“I miss it now, too. I miss having this archive of memories. I feel my memory atrophying already, getting weaker than it was.”

“I use stories as a technique to organise the past. And I think there is a real lack of storytelling now, among all of us. We’re all living lives that are so fragmented, so moment to moment… there’s not that time to create stories and make sense of your experience.”

“That’s one big thing that I learned doing this project, you really need privacy. I think you need space in order to contemplate and grow.”

Jonathan’s need for space and privacy is our daily loss, but it will surely result in him producing ever more inspiring projects for us to enjoy in the future.
