Taking a photo a day is a huge undertaking with big returns if it’s done with intent. The 365 photo challenge is a popular concept that motivates the photographer to shoot one photograph a day, striving to look for something fresh and different day to day, and tell a compelling story after compiling it into a full year long project–and that’s what Mission: Pic is trying to take to the next level.

Years ago, Street Photography wasn’t possible. Photography was something that was very cookie cutter–it required a long exposure time, a tripod, a studio, etc. Colloquial photography was very proper, carefully planned, and didn’t allow for much in the way of candid captures. But when 35mm film was developed, professionals gawked at it while consumers were able to capture candid moments of their every day lives in the streets for the first time. Years later, it would become truly serious in the hands of some of the world’s first photojournalists–then continue to solidify itself during the Great Wars. This process of documenting every day life would continue for many years and become a trend.
