So, while I love doing the Project 52 album, I also find myself wanting to do more with Project Life and documenting things. Since I'm not in the position right now to do any catch up on my old photos (which I hope to do later), I am trying to incorporate little projects here and there into my memory keeping. I noticed on June 20th, that Ali Edwards was doing a "day in the life" project. The one thing that always held me back from doing this type of documenting was the fact that if it falls during the week, I am at work most of the day, so I thought that may be boring. And I was concerned about the investment of time to put into it. Well, I have to say, it was not as time consuming as I thought it would be! And, yes, most of my day was spent at work, but isn't that the point? To celebrate the everyday moments and goings-on. I wouldn't be true to myself (which is a concept I try to stay close to when memory keeping) if I wasn't honest.
So, my process was to take a picture every hour and then post to Instagram with a little bit of journaling as the caption. This kept it very simple and I had all my pictures in one place which was awesome and made for an easier time when I put them into my layouts. I started at 7am and went through 2pm. I decided at that point I should probably focus on work for a few hours :) Then I picked back up at 5pm and stopped at 8pm. I did not do 9pm because that is bedtime and I wanted to keep that time to spend with family. Some people set alarms on the hour, but I didn't worry about that - I just kept it free and easy, no pressure. I tried to take some photos from different perspectives and I feel this was a good way to experiment with the camera timer and angles. I really enjoyed it and I would definitely suggest trying it! As for putting my photos together, I used the Big Shot 7 and Squared Away 15 for my layouts with the Midnight Edition and Project 52 Fresh Edition kits. I also used my Phonto app to add the title to the 1st page. So, here is the final product - Enjoy!
