Forthe first three months of 2012, I took a photo of my daughter every day and converted them to black and white. But I missed color! So it’s back to the full spectrum for this month and at least the next 2. This process is teaching me so much. It’s really much harder than one would imagine – a true 365, with no cheating, no free passes, no days off, and my reputation as a photographer on the line with every photo I post and claim as my own. It’s intimidating, it’s tiring, it’s very involved and it’s soooo worth it! I’m really glad that I’ve managed to stick with it for 4 months already. I’m learning to see the opportunities in the everyday moments, even more than I already did, to be ready for new moments and find unique backgrounds and angles in the places I am every day. And I’m learning to make do when things aren’t perfect or inspiring. It’s making me dig. It’s making me grow. And it’s testing my commitment, because I don’t always feel like getting my camera out or bringing it along with me everywhere we go. But every month, I look back and smile and am so grateful that I did it, that I have this little slice of my baby girl’s life, her story. It’s a labor of love that I will cherish forever.
