Project 365: Week 31

A lovely week, and my photos are food- and book-centric, as per usual. I am obsessed with the picture of the peaches and raspberries, as you can probably tell. The trouble is that I’ve been working a lot lately, so my camera doesn’t come out to play quite as much as I might like. But I’m remembering that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts – I made a test book of all my photos so far this year and was blown away by how awesome they look all together. I can’t explain how much I love this project.

I hope that your weekends are as magical as mine has been. I hope you’re meeting some special people, and doing a lot of giggling, and feeling safe and happy. xo.

 

July

How much do I love creating these monthly videos? Answer: a ton.

Like almost all of my favourite pass-times, it’s a creative outlet for me at every stage of the process. I love practicing shooting video, I love editing it together, I love listening to new music all month hoping to find one great song to pull it all together, I love trying to match up moments in video with moments in the song. And I love love LOVE sharing it with people, even those who aren’t in the video. I’m proud of this work, and I’m thrilled I’ve kept up with this project. I didn’t make it a goal for this year, it just came about organically, but I’m so excited to have this documentation of 2012.

As always, I hope you enjoy.

In the comments – how was your July? What were the highlights for you? Anything fun planned for August? I’d love to hear about your lives.

xo. Happy Monday.

Project 365: Week 30

Great week. It’s definitely hot, humid, and sometimes dreadfully rainy, but despite the weather I’ve still been having some wonderfully summery times. Discovering new Chipotle-esque restaurants (and going back twice so far – we don’t have Chipotle here!), slaughtering a pineapple, painting.. all in good fun! I’m off to have brunch somewhere no doubt lovely. I hope you are about to kick off your weekend in a splendid way. Make sure there is good food and drink! xo.

Project 365: Weeks 28 + 29

Whoops, I completely forgot to do my Project 365 update last Friday! What with all that crazy cake baking, it totally slipped my mind. No matter, twice the fun this week.

My photos, as usual, are pretty food-centric. It’s strange to say, but on days when I stay inside all day, the food I create can be the most interesting subject around. But it’s summer, so I try to go outside as much as possible!

I’m more than halfway through this project, and I have to say I’m totally thrilled with it. I’ve kept with it, sometimes even taking a photo late at night when I get home, and I’ve never missed a day. I love that I can look back on some of the photos and know exactly what was going on in my life that day, while others surprise me! I love that I’ve gotten to know my camera better. I love that I’m satisfied with how *some* of my photos look, for the first time ever.

Thanks for reading. Also, this is my 100th post this year! Yippee!!
