If you asked me what this blog will be about I would have to be honest and tell you that my plan is for it to be about nothing. But it goes a little deeper than that because I believe that it is all the “nothings” in our life that make it add up to something. We go through life focusing on honoring the monumental, the hallmark celebrations such as birthdays, weddings, etc. But it is the smaller moments that we experience that come together and build our life.
Two years ago, I began a project of taking a photo every day. My initial intent was that this would provide me motivation to focus each day on my photography hobby. However, what has evolved is something much greater to me. Over the past two years, I have built a pictorial diary of my life and what has become evident is that there is something – even though it may seem to some like a nothing – to celebrate in every day. The project has forced me to become more aware of those moments and… to be more watchful so I don’t miss them.
Occasionally, one of my photos will force me to contemplate an idea and it is those moments of “nothing” that all add up to “something” that I will be trying to share here throughout the year. I don’t know how often I will update and I don’t know what kinds of things I’ll be focusing on – I plan to let the blog evolve itself.
I hope you will be interested in checking in occasionally (or possibly even subscribing). It should be an interesting journey!!
