When I visit Ali Edward's blog, I know I want to make something amazing with all my photos but then I get overly-inspired and decide I'll leave it for another day. But then today is gone. Sigh. So, when I read her invitation to join her in a simple project to record a week in the life of my life, my family, using my photos, featuring what I see as important today, I will admit, I got a burst of inspired energy and determination. Maybe I can do this. Maybe I'll start very soon.
Why this project? Why now? I guess it's just the thrill of having this moment in time distilled into something tangible. Something I can hold in my hands as a reminder of this priceless and fleeting moment of my life. I take photo after photo and am usually content with that being the end result. But the idea of using photos as a springboard sparks my interest. It's as if the photo is just part of the process. It's a whole new perspective and it's as simple as focusing in on just one week of my life. I think it sounds wonderful and I plan on taking Ali up on her invitation by following along with her on her blog to see what I can come up with. Why not? I'm taking a vacation real soon, so I'll have no excuse to take photo after photo for one week. This is totally do-able and I'm so excited because there will be so much to document.
