Spring, Sprung

The past few days have felt blissfully like summer. And if that weren’t enough, I got some absolutely thrilling news yesterday and I feel like I’m jumping on a trampoline next to the ocean while eating ice cream and pizza simultaneously. I’ll share the news asap, but just rest assured that I am furiously happy.

I’ve been celebrating the summer weather by wearing skirts, drinking fruit smoothies in the morning, incorporating Spring veggies into my diet, going for runs, having brunch with friends with the doors and windows wide open, drinking beer in the park at dusk, listening to great music, hanging out on busy patios, and soaking up the sun whenever possible.

It’s been a totally incredible weekend, and more great things just keep happening. I love Spring.

The Everyday

I love Instagram. Even though I haven’t been counting iPhone photos towards Project 365, I’ve still been trying to take pictures when I’m out and about, and little things in my daily life. This poster represents 2012 so far, and it makes me crazy happy everytime I look at it. I need to keep reminding myself to document the small details, the everyday – because I absolutely adore having those small memories to look back on. I should also probably start using the same filter every time I share a photo on Instagram, but I can’t help switching it up.. there’s just so much variety! And I love how they all look!

Here’s to the little things. Here’s to technology. Here’s to remembering the moments that make us happy. Here’s to a great weekend! Hope it’s not raining where you are. Happy Friday.

Project 365: Week 10

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!

Project 365: Week 9

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.
