Month FOUR. Already. Wowsas. This year, I’ve committed to taking at least one photo a day of this guy. Our son, Jo. This is the year he’ll be mostly 2. I did the same project for his big sister the year *she* was mostly 2, and I hope to have a matching set of coffee table books, one for each of them, at the end of 2015.<\/p>\n

This month had a couple of hiccups… reformatting a card with the day’s photos before I uploaded them (oi.) And a camera that decided to “Err” on me during a camping trip to which I didn’t bring my back up (argh.) So, I missed one day, and had to make do with my camera phone for a couple of days, using my Instagram account to fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n

It’s all good.<\/p>\n

Because this is about preserving memories. I’ve done several personal projects over the years, and I can’t tell you how vital they are. Taking time to live inspires your work. In order to be a professional photographer, I MUST also be a hobbiest. It’s how the passion stays. It’s where the inspiration comes from. And this project isn’t about perfection. It’s about my kids, my life, our memories. It’s not about creating a perfect picture every day. It’s about taking a picture every day so that I don’t forget, and being blessed with the occasional exception image\/memory I never would have gotten to keep had I not committed to try for it every day, regardless of whether I felt inspired or not.<\/p>\n

It’s all good.<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me share a few seconds my of my real world with ya.<\/p>\n
