Well, Year Two of my daily project is underway, and I have successfully managed to stick with my goal of photographing my family doing their thing. As my girls get older, they tend to be more amenable to my photographing them (especially if it means that we get to do fun stuff!). A typical “Mom, can I have some gum?” turns into “Sure, if you can try to blow the biggest bubble you can.” Simple post-dinner cleanup turns into a song-and-dance number when the camera turns her way.
Leaving my camera A) charged, and B) conveniently located on the kitchen counter has allowed me to grab it when something is happening. Knowing that most of my photo-a-day attempts will be occurring in our home on the spur of the moment has motivated me to get organized, clear out the junk and try to keep the piles of clutter at bay. I was inspired by this post in the Living Well, Spending Less blog to get us clutter-free forever . . . well, I don’t know about forever, but I’ve managed to keep the counters and stairs clean for 5 days, and I’ll call that a success!
