During January, several of the folks that I follow on Twitter and/or Instagram were doing this photo a day thing where they had a set list of things to take pictures that month, each day. One photo a day, or more if a picture-taking mood struck you. And then the photo(s) got hash tagged #janphotoaday. I liked the idea and wanted to participate, but by the time I caught on to the trend it was almost a week into January. And I've always been the type of person who if I was running late to a class I would just opt not to go at all. I'd rather not go then walk into a class 10 minutes late and have everyone's eyes on me, thinking "what the hell is this girl doing!?" But for the whole of January I was sitting here, on my throne of jealousy, wishing I had some list telling me what pictures to take which day and forcing me to be at least a little clever about it. So, I sat with my jealous eyes glaring and stewed. And then
I got wind of a #febphotoaday and my ears pricked up and I began salivating, as if some old dude had just rang his photo-a-day bell or something (sidenote: that is one of the only things I remember from the psychology class I took. Well, besides watching
that movie where Ed Norton pretends to have multiple personalities. Also, looking back now, I think that professor had a major thing for Richard Gere, we watched at least 3 films with him in them in that class). Anyway...
the list
Before I knew it I was on the photo-a-day bus, smiling ear to ear. So, here's a peek of the first 7 days of February's photo a day:
day 1: my view today (not the most original, I'll admit...but I was warming up)
day 2: word(s)
words (alternate)
day 3: hand (and heart)
day 4: stranger (at Krohn Conservatory)
day 5: 10am
day 6: dinner
dinner (alternate): leftover Indian food
day 7: button (from my new top)
