About Project 365
It all began when Richard started blogging and posting daily essays and portraits, sharing his experience of interviewing and photographing random strangers every day for almost two years. Hundreds of diverse individuals—each with unique hopes, fears, and perspectives—answered a set of common questions, revealing a profound truth: the transformative power and far-reaching impact of empathy to bridge divides, challenge perceptions, and deepen our understanding of one another—especially through our differences.

As thousands more read these essays, saw the faces of those who shared their stories, and engaged by commenting and contributing content through audience challenges, a global dialogue emerged—one that continues to inspire countless individuals to reflect on how they see and treat others, one thought, one interaction, and one deed at a time.
