discovery project – nine month review

gabriellekaiphotography_september_mosaic

I began the first few days of September in Italy.   Looking back at this month’s mosaic of my Discovery Project, that makes me smile!  I am transported back that beautiful place – and my heart soars when I look back at the images I captured there.

I have to be honest with you – I missed a day this month.  For reasons that I do not wish to share with the internet, I did not take an image on September 11.  I cannot begin to explain to you the pit in my stomach when I realized at 2AM that I had not taken a picture that previous day.  But I’m not going to beat myself up about it.  As a mother, I know how hard I can be on myself sometimes.   I am not going to throw in the towel.   Why?  Because  life happens.   I knew when I started this project that it would be hard – but I made a commitment to myself.  The very next day, I pulled out my camera and clicked away.  Missing one day is not going to stop me!  At the end of my project, I’ll continue for an additional day.

My favorite image from this month?  Taken on September 19, 2009:

I love this month’s photos! And don’t worry about the missing one, as you say, life happens. It’s definitely not a reason to stop the project.

Hello,
I came by here from Relyn’s blog (she has blog rolled you). Congratulations on your first gallery show. Am sure it must have been a big hit.

My favourite photograph of Sept is here – url below, because it taught me a few things.

I always like to put thoughts to my photographs and feel that I learn a lot. My favourite one for August is here:

I find it amazing that you manage to take a photo everyday! I’m lucky if I pick up my camera once a week! And that’s even before two children! So don’t feel bad. You’re doing awesome.

And you take such quality photos too!!

Your photos are amazing!! Such a nice retreat from a busy day. Just added your blog to my google reader. And don’t worry about the one day. Seeing all these images together shows how talented you are and one day won’t take away from that. I always thought it would be neat to do something like this, though I am completely lacking in photo skills. I guess I will just have to settle for living vicariously through you. ; ) Not such a bad deal!!!
Congrats on the gallery!

Wonderful mosaic. Just getting a moment to catch up a little on your blog. Your vacation photos are so wonderful. Love your work.

It would be so tough to choose a favorite, but brown paper packages tied up with string sure has me smiling.
