We are half way into January and I should make a list of some sort which I could call new year's resolutions, goals for this year, a business plan or some other title. But this year, even though I love making lists, I only have one major goal.
My resolution for this year is to be inspired and creative.
Ha, easy enough, you might say, with all the inspiration out there from magazines, internet, available apps and books. But I not only want to be inspired, but I want to turn the inspiration into creativity.
I already started the year with project 333, which is a year in pictures. 333 are the days I want to document, one picture a day of moments that are easily forgotten otherwise. Knowing me, there will be days I won't be able to shoot. The project is posted on my personal facebook page and I will post a few images on my blog as the months go by.
This project was inspired by two other amamzing photographers I met at Barb Uil's workshop last year: Rebecca Chalmers and Lindsay Burnham Nichols. And we all have been inspired by Barb Uil's book ‘For The Love’ … which is a must get if you have children and love pondering in photography.
”A simplistic guide and adventure into opening up your world and allowing time to breathe, time to love, and time to embrace what you have. An invitation to explore your creativity, whilst also recording the moments that your heart tells you that you must.
“For The Love” is a gentle reminder to mums, dads and grandparents that we need to slow down, record, and remember these precious days.
“For the Love” is a guide to keeping a detailed time- line of your children and their life for them to cherish forever. And to create gifts to share with others. It’s all about creating just for the love of it.”
Hi Ute
Lovin your 333 project and of course everything else you've been doing! Hope all is well.
