"I've been taking a photo every day at 12.34pm for 10 years"

When Samuel Ryde got his first smartphone in 2012, he began a project to photograph whatever he was up to at 12.34pm every day.

Initially he planned to complete the project over one year, but afterwards decided to keep on snapping.

More than 10 years later, the 40-year-old artist and hairdresser from Tower Hamlets, east London, says he has documented both the "exciting and mundane" nature of everyday London life.

Despite occasionally "life getting in the way", Mr Ryde says he rarely misses the moment and wants to continue the project for the rest of his life.

I would love to look back on such a collection of photographs.

The 1-2-3-4 was novel, too. Kind of like posting on 2/22/22.

I think I'll just put them in a file on my computer where I can use the Microsoft program that comes with windows 11. Called Photos. I want to watch them in succession.
