New photo project, week 1





Hi, there. I'm brushing the dust off this blog to use it as a tool in my latest get-through-January campaign. I need creative outlets and have missed taking pictures, so decided to do a daily photo project again. Independently, I set a goal to do something outside every day. While I didn't intend it, these two goals have a symbiotic relationship. I'm more likely to get a picture if I go outside (because my typical days alone at home are BORING, move along, nothing to see here), and I'm more likely to go for a walk if I have a purpose. My leisurely walks aren't raising my heart rate, but they are raising my spirits.

I set some parameters to challenge myself: NO EDITING! Not even cropping. These are straight out of the camera, and taken with manual settings. A couple in this first batch (I'll post once a week) are from my phone. It's not great quality, but I had it on me when I didn't have my camera, and felt those images were worthy to document.


Jan. 1. Samuel sledding.

Jan. 2.
Jan. 3.  Three sets of concentrating eyes: Elise, her teacher and Beethoven. Elise was pulling Bach from memory. Phone.

Jan. 4. It was fun to watch the horses a bit and have them eventually come toward me. I imagined capturing their cold-enhanced, cloudy breathing when I set out on my walk, but that didn't materialize.

Jan. 5. Samuel's science fair project of measuring solubility.

Jan. 6. Snow break after Samuel's first deacon duty of clearing driveways. The snow was so heavy! Phone.

Jan. 7. Self-portrait.

By the way, I think Elise is an incredible violinist. She knows how to make it sing. I love listening to her play!
