At the beginning of January, I began my first photography project, Daily Discoveries. This project documents simple moments that I capture everyday, my version of a 365 project.
I must say that I absolutely ~love~ it! I have truly began to look at the world differently. All throughout my day, I am constantly stopping, observing, and taking in the little things. Previousy, I was under the false impression that there had to be some event, some special scene, for me to photograph – how wrong I was!
I find that some of my favorite pictures are those of my normal, everyday life. There were times before that I would notice something and say to myself, “Man, I wish I had my camera…” Well, now, I do. I admit that sometimes carrying my camera with me everywhere I go is a bit heavy, but I have vowed to get a larger purse!
My love for photography has strengthened as a result. I wake up and think, “What I will I capture today?” It’s my little extra something to look forward to during my day. The best part is looking back at all the images I captured. Little pieces of my life, that otherwise, I would have forgotten – or would have gone unnoticed. If I feel this way after a month, I can’t imagine how I feel at the completion of this project.
My favorite image of this month? It’s this lonely leaf taken on January 7. I love the softness of this image.
Do you have a favorite image that you took this past month? I’d love to see it!
and my camera too is heavy which means i leave it home more times than not when i am not intending to take photographs… today i will act as though there are photos calling me from everywhere and haul it along in my bag.. i already have some bigger bags i could use
