Project 365

I really like doing this project, but I definitely struggle with it too. I sometimes feel so uninspired, either by my immediate environment, or by the photos I end up taking, or both. Some days, by the time I get back home all the natural light is gone, I’m tired and I feel like I have nothing to photograph. But I haven’t yet missed a day, and I’m proud of that. What’s really keeping me going is the idea that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” (I was reminded of this idea by Elise’s blog). When I look at the collage, I’m not overwhelmed by a sad feeling that all my photos are mediocre – I’m thrilled that I’ve documented all the mundane, beautiful things in my life. It’s a great reminder, a humbling experience. I just gotta keep on keeping on and not fixate too much on the negative.

Happy Thursday!

Week 9 already? How is it March! I still love this project, times a million. It’s just so much fun to take photos every day, I get such a kick out of it now. Some are sort of half-assed, sure, but most of the time I take a few minutes to capture the light or arrange things. It’s a fun process, and it never really takes very long. Doesn’t take time, just a little effort. And I think it’ll go a long way!

Happy Friday. If you need something to make you giggle, check out #whatshouldwecallme. It’s one of the funniest sites I’ve ever read. Enjoy! xo.

I love the progress I’m making with Project 365! I always worry I’m “slacking off” each day and not capturing a nice moment, but I also always forget how long the days are and how many surprises end up being in store. Plus, no matter how I feel about the photos at the time, I always like them much more once I see them on my computer a few days later. (Lesson here? Things always seem better a few days later?) Anyways, I’m still enjoying it a ton. I hope to get more inspired as the weather turns warmer and the weeks of school become less and less! Happy Thursday.
