whimsy

By

whim·sy  {hwim-zee}
n. a light or fanciful humour; something quaint or unusual.

Lately I’ve been approaching photography in a way that feels anything but carefree. I’m realizing part of this is due to my 365 project. You see, I began that project with the intent of documenting how 2010 felt in daily increments. So I came to think of each photo as “What do I want to remember from today? What was beautiful/real/truthful/honest from today that makes it different from yesterday and tomorrow?” 

Real, truthful, and honest sometimes ends up heavy like a sack full of rocks…
and here I am trying to cross a stream.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my 365 project. It’s kept me afloat this year, making me accountable for showing up and doing something creative each and every day. I see it as a beautiful way to find gratitude in our daily lives. And yes, gratitude for what is real. There is importance in seeing what we do with each day we’re given, even if it feels mundane. Through this project I’ve found that sometimes the most ordinary things can be beautiful, like the simple act of driving home with the radio on.

But today? Let’s get lighthearted. Capture something just for the sheer amusement of it. Like pink flamingos on a turquoise car. Today, share with me your whimsy.

  9. This is my first year doing 365 and I have really loved it, though there are some things I would do different , or rather that I will do different I am for sure doing 365 again this next year.. I did not really go into it with such a deep meaning, I really went into it to just document all sorts of things in my life, some small some big. But through that it's really changed the way I see my world and the moments and things around me. It's been an amazing experience!
