<p>Honestly, when I grabbed my camera and snapped a shot on January 1, beginning my<a href="http://gabriellekaiphotography.com/blog/discovery-project/" target="_blank"> Discovery Project</a>, I thought it would be a neat idea to take a picture every day.  To document my  life for year.  I had no idea what I was getting myself into.</p>
<p>I had no idea how much I would enjoy this.  How my family would rally around and support me, reminding me, &#8220;Did you take a picture today?&#8221;  How calm and confident I would feel behind the camera.  How much my style would adapt and change until it felt like &#8220;my own&#8221;.  How I would push myself by going different places and doing different things.  How much I would enjoy stopping and savoring little moments of my life.  How much I would stretch my creativity&#8230;.. I had no idea.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard for me to explain how much I am committed to this project.  I am so proud to look back and see the fruits of my labor.  And to be over the half way mark, priceless!  What most strikes me as I look back through my images is the change of seasons. <a href="http://gabriellekaiphotography.com/blog/daily-discoveries-january-2009/" target="_blank"> January</a> so very different from <a href="http://" target="_blank">June</a>!</p>
<p>My favorite image from this month?  Taken on July 24, 2009:</p>
