Wonders never cease. I’ve actually stuck to one of my NY resolutions: to take a photograph of Finn every single day for a year, using my DSLR. (In other words: to try and use more sophisticated camera equipment than, say, an iPhone to capture a year of Finn’s life.)
For the most part, I’m adhering to the rules I set for myself at the start of this challenge. There are still a few things I need to work on, though.
Namely, I need to be a little better about taking my camera out of the house. I have, on a few occasions, but most of the time, I’m taking photos of Finn in our home. Which is very small. And has terrible light.
We’ve also been really busy, lately, for lots of reasons. As a result, I often forget to take a photo until the end of the evenings, and we’re amassing an obscene amount of photos in the final hours of the day. I swear my child wears more than just pajamas!
And, of course, I’m still not actually in many photos, myself.
I’ll work on those things, but I’m still pretty darn impressed with the fact that I’ve managed to stay committed to this project for over two months. When I was home with Finn during the first 4 months of his life, I took a dozen photos every hour. There are, literally, THOUSANDS.
Lately, these daily DSLR photos are the only pictures we have of our little guy. I’m glad I’m being intentional about taking them.
