I've seen some fantastic images in recent threads, but would really like to see photos - and hopefully a link or two - from a personal photo project you've taken on. Finished projects, works in progress...I want to see them all!

Although it is not intended to save the world or anything, here's a project I call Intersections:

Here are a few sets I did last year. The process was sort of interesting, but I haven't done any more since then.
I composed these sets "after the fact." That is, long after the pictures were taken, I organized some of them into themes. I'm not sure if that's the proper way to do it, but hey, it's just a hobby!
I used the Porta set generator and the simpleviewer flash viewer:

Interesting idea. I am working on a big one at the moment, but here is one that I hope never ends. This is a small sample of photos of corner stores I took across Atlantic Canada with my Holga. In the beginning, it wasn't really deliberate. I threw my newly acquired Holga in the bag not quite sue what it's good for. Somehow, corner stores fitted the bill of a good Holga subject and I pretty much never really shot anything else with it. If you like the photos below, here is the link to the collection so far (at least the part I developed, scanned and posted to flickr).

I'll bite, I have a couple of long-term projects. One I've particularly enjoyed (but was not shot on RF kit, sorry) has been visiting the beautiful Arnold Arboretum here in Boston throughout the seasons. I'll be honest though, it got started entirely by accident, and I'm ashamed to admit out of my efforts to produce something colourful for the walls of my friend's apartment. Having succeeded in that goal, (there are five 11x11 prints on display there) I then couldn't stop...
The set (which is not well-organised yet and could do with much weeding and tidying) is on flickr, here. Here's one of my personal favourites:
Pretty much the entire set was shot with one camera and one lens, apart from two periods when I broke it that is. I somewhat wish now in retrospect I had used one film for the colour, because it would look better if it was more consistent.
I am currently on a bit of a street photography trip which would certainly be more normal RFF fare!
ps - great thread, there's some really nice and diverse stuff here!

Here's the link to a photo essay I did on carpet weaving in India. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=611003
It was all shot using Leica 3g and 3f. Lenses used were 3.5cm Summaron and 5cm Elmar.
Link to series about a local boat builder. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=621754
Except for the last shot during launching all with M4, last shot was Rolliflex. Used a 21mm Super Angulon for the workshop shots.

Glenn, that essay on carpet weaving is great. Both the color and B&W look like they could have been shot in the 40's or 50.

Just about everything I do is a series.
here is one I did over 3 years in the local black community http://bobmichaels.org/SouthApopkaIntro.htm
here is one I did shooting for six months just on the Daytona Boardwalk http://bobmichaels.org/boardwalk-intro.htm
here is a short one day series shot September 11, 2006 at the World Trade Center site http://bobmichaels.org/intro_9112006.htm
here is a recent series shot by four of us of a 110 mile road that travels across the state of Florida from one coast to another http://www.alongfl50.org 44 prints from this series are on exhibit at Orlando City Hall from last week until January 2010.

I've been working on a series of photos documenting the behind-the-scenes stuff at a local community theater.
I have a couple slide shows on my own Web site. And here are a few shots that are on my Flickr account:

I had a look at your flickr set. The close-ups are wonderful! They're very... um... ethereal, or 'spacey'. The out-of-focus colors are mesmerizing. Thanks.

bojanfurst, awesome Holga shots, I love the pictures.
I'm like Bob Michaels, nearly everything I do is for one of my long-term projects.
Here's some of my favorites:

Every Friday at Noon. Santa Fe's weekly antiwar protest.

A few months ago I started posting pictures on a personal blog.
There are only photographs taken with my mobile phone and then converted to black and white. It is not really a project; but I like to share those shots, since they are the product of the fact, that in that particular moment I had a camera (mobile phone) with me.

A Gay Old Time
A Gay Old Time
I've been going trough my old files, posting old photos on my blog, and sometimes running a series on a theme for days or weeks. Right now I'm posting photos and writing copy from the early to mid 1960's mostly about the gay and lesbian community in Boston and Provincetown on Cape Cod. The photos are B&W and shot with Leicas. I'll probably get bored with this theme pretty soon and start on another. Rather than making new prints or doing negative scans I'm scanning frames of off the old contact sheets, perforations, dust spots, an all. It gives the shots a very vintage look.
I currently know some gay guys in local politics here in the Miami area, and I met a couple of lesbians at a birthday party a few weeks ago, so I might expand the project into a "then and now" type of thing.

This is a project I did on the lane that runs behind my house.

Recently started shooting large format macro and toning the results. I think I may keep doing this for a while.

Sort of a project I guess, a book for my inlaws and their parents as well as other family members I did for Christmas one year.
