I’ve started another photography 365. I completed my first one in 2020 with the goal of becoming a more technically skilled photographer but gained so much more out of that project than the goals I set for it. First—2020. 😳 What a year to choose to document and now we have a faithful record of our activities January-December! Priceless. But some of the biggest benefits of my 365 I didn’t realize until I stopping doing it. I began to miss the meditative, conscientious act of looking for LIGHT and MOMENTS, daily. Of capturing my children’s fleeting youth and noting—logging—the incremental changes of their growth, be it in daily routine or the progression of simple things like haircuts and lost to permanent teeth. I realized how much these things matter to me; how fast they go. How much it is part of my mothering process to see them, acknowledge them, honor them… so that when the time comes, we can let them go. But it’s the light hunting—literally & figuratively—that brought me back. I need it, daily. I’m already shocked that HOW I am shooting the same old scenes is not the same old way—perhaps because I’m feeling it differently. Perhaps because of my greater appreciation for my purpose and what I’m looking for. At any rate… 365. It’s back.
