Project 365: Week 17

Here it is, my Project 365 photos from the week of exams! I knew they’d probably be of less quality than other weeks, due to having less time to devote to taking photos. I’m actually pleasantly surprised that I managed to capture a few that I love! The zippered pouch, for one. And those pretty eggs, for another. I’m happy I was able to pull this project off, even if there was a day or two where I didn’t have many shots to choose from! I took a lot of Instagram photos to supplement, because I decided to do A Week In The Life – I’ll be showing you my album next week! It was a really fun project, and a great way to infuse my long study days with a bit more creativity.

I plan to spend my weekend picking up herbs at the farmer’s market, eating fresh food at picnics, and spending time with my busy friend.

Happy Friday! xo.

Project 365: Week 16

This week’s photos are a bit of a mishmash. There are also a number of repeats between this post and my recent around here post. This is mainly because I’ve been spending the majority of my waking hours sitting at a desk, and inspiration has been slightly scarce. I’ve been trying my best to capture moments, but that can definitely be a challenge when you’re studying for exams. I am trying not to be too perfectionistic about it. It’s also an issue that my apartment doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, because photos lit naturally look so much nicer than those I take at night. Oh well – summer is coming soon, and I’ll have as much natural sunlight as I can handle, hopefully!

I have two exams Monday, then I’m done for the semester! (Of course, my summer school class starts the next morning but I’m pretending to be blissfully ignorant of that fact). I’m not sure whether you’re still in school or if your exams don’t start for a few weeks, but either way: good luck! Stay calm. Sleep well. xo

Project 365: Week 15

I’ll admit: I got a little lazy once or twice this week, but I also got a little creative once or twice too! I think my favourite picture of the week is of my shrimp pasta, which I made in  my new skillet (which is gorgeous, but weighs a ton!). That was one of the best meals I’ve cooked in a while, and it helped that it was so pretty! The ginger syrup has been making a fine companion on those long studying days/nights. Homemade gingerale is the best! And of course, I still love my running shoes. Honestly, what’s great about Project365 (for me, who doesn’t have a dog or children to photograph!) is that it motivates me to document my everyday life. And I think I’ll be really grateful to be able to look back on this time of my life and see exactly what my day-to-day life was like. I love that.

I honestly can’t wait to get these printed as a Blurb book at the end of the year. Until then, I’m considering getting a book of my Instagram photos so far this year printed. If you’d like to do the same, you can use this link and enter 15OFFBLURB at the checkout to save 15% on your whole order. The ad I’ve put up on the sidebar will also work.

Happy Friday!

Project 365: Week 14

This might be my favourite set of Project 365 photos yet! My life has been so full lately – full of colour, and love and beautiful people. A few of the days, I had so many great photos to choose from! Others, not so much. But I love the spirit of this project. Love love love it. I can tell that I’m getting better at bringing my camera along, finding the light, etc. And I’m practicing with new settings, trying to find the style of photography I like best. I’m so glad I decided to take this project on.

Today is a beautiful day. I’m planning on making Martha’s mac & cheese, finishing the first Game of Thrones book, and relaxing, hopefully with some wine! Hope your Friday plans are majorly awesome. xo
