She encourages us to photodocument our day on the 25th of every month, so that by the end of a year, you have a sense of a year in your life. It always takes me a while to grasp the big picture, but it is coming into focus: I hope to tell the story of what I see and how I lived and what things were important to me over the course of a year. I have chosen some details that are documentary, but that also may evoke a sense of growth and change when I look back a year from now. For today, I wanted to show things like what shoes I wore, places I went, things we did, flowers in bloom, food we prepared or shared, people I interacted with, things I noticed around me. Now, all that being said, I was not as deliberate as I meant to be, as it turned out to be a busier day than I thought. Last day of school and all. Oh well, reminds me of a line from a John Mayer song:
"Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes"
and this line too:
"Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame"
-Lyrics from 3 x 5 by John Mayer
Still trying to fit the world inside a picture frame though - just some days it doesn't work out the way I want. Here's my attempt for June 25.
mornings always start with being awakened by Mr Hugs wonder what he's thinking?
a serious fact of my life: LEGOI am nearly always stepping over some big set-up
adorable new shoes!
