the photo-of-the-day project

I have decided to embark on the "photo-of-the-day project" once again this year. I did pretty good with it last year, until I hit August. Then, I was in first trimester of my pregnancy and lost all motivation. It happens, I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. I still took tons of pictures, and that, of course, is the point.

The hardest part of this project for me isn't remembering to take the pictures, it is in the organization end of things. The date on my camera isn't set right, so the days are always off and I can never remember what day I took what picture. (The simplest remedy to this would be to look in my camera manual and change the date. There's a thought...) So far, I am up to date on my photo organization this year. Smile. It is only the 6th!

Then I don't know what I should do with all these pictures. I think I would like to make a Blurb book at the end of this year. I have ordered several books from this company, and I have always been really happy with them. That seems to be the simplest thing for me to do. I bought a Project Life kit last year, but that approach needs to be updated all the time, which I struggle with. So many people do awesome things using that kit, but I don't think I can do it.

So far I am using this blog as inspiration (Oh my gosh I love all the photos on this blog! The composition of them is so interesting, beautiful lighting, etc.) and labeling every photo with the date and a little title. Then, at the end of the year I can drag all the pictures into a Blurb book and it will super easy. I love super easy. I am trying not to get too caught up in the little details that usually deter my projects: obsessing over the size of the font in each one, etc. I just need to do it!

Here's today's picture:

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hope you take some pictures!
