Last fall I started reading The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin (which I highly recommend). Motivated to try it for myself, I created “twelve commandments” and a goal to journal my experiences. #10 on my list is to take a “real camera” picture daily, with the idea that each commandment is focused on for a month. I took this challenge a step further when defining my goals for 2019, and committed to myself that I would take and share a photo everyday for an entire year. This project is special to me — I’ve been a photographer for nearly 20 years (portraits and weddings), and have lost some of my youthful enthusiasm for seeing life through the eye of the lens. I hope to rediscover my love for photography by doing something that’s truly for myself.
