Week #1 | Documenting My Life | 365 Project

Pittsburgh Family Documentary Photographer | Mary Beth Miller Photography
……………………………………………………….

I am giving a 365 Project another try!   A 365 is when you take a photo every single day for an entire year.  To be more accurate, 2016 is a leap year, so it is technically going to be a 366.   I believe this is my 4th attempt, and I never seem to make it to May, but I have high hopes of getting further this time.   I plan to crate a photo book of all of the images that I capture!

I encourage you all to join me!   Although it is fun to begin on January 1st, there are no rules for a 365.  You can start any day of the year!   You can use your cell phone, you can use a real camera, do it however you want.   You do not have to share it with the world, you can keep them all to yourself.   And if you miss a day, no big deal, just aim to get two shots the next day.   Comment below if you are already doing one or want to start.   If you are doing one, leave me a link to where I can see yours!

I will be posting mine here on my blog once a week and I will be posting them daily on my Instagram feed.   Here is week #1/52 of documenting life around me.

day #1 – Making Smore’s over a fire in Daddy’s hut in the woods.

day #2 – I taught Silas a favorite childhood game: “The floor is lava!!!”
He thought it was the best game ever.  And it brought back great memories for me.

day #3-  We built 8 puzzles, played 2 games of memory
and then you wanted to play Life, my least favorite game.

day #4 – When I take away the video games, my kids remember their love for reading.

day #5 – At sunrise, two out of three boys joined me for a walk…it was only 9 degrees.
We threw rocks onto the frozen pond to hear the echo noises.

day #6 – We took a family walk into the woods, even Teddy joined in, but
he was trailing behind us.

day #7 – For some reason, it never dawned on me to let my kids wash the van at the car wash!
They each had a great time spraying the bird poo off the van.
It was.  BAD!   We have a large flock of starlings here on the farm
and I am convinced they aim for the van.
At least they are fun to watch fly around.

Check back next week for week #2 of my 365!
