Normally people start their 365 (or 366 this year) projects at the start of the year.
I really wanted to document the interesting times in Ollie's life - so I started from the day he turned 4 months old, on the 4th October 2012.
The first 3-4 months of his life were such a blur for us and for him.. that I just knew I couldn't commit to taking a photo a day.
Now, however, this little fella is making us laugh constantly, and it just seemed like the perfect time to start the project.
I've been putting it on Facebook primarily (as I didn't have my website/blog set up yet!) so I thought I'd give you a rundown of the first 29 photos before I continue with daily posts for the rest of the project.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely words Kate - and thank you for the warm welcome!
DeleteMacros are close to my heart, but I've always shot little bugs and pretty flowers. I'm thankful to be able to use the lens to shoot some emotion now :) xx
I loved looking through your photos - they're gorgeous and so much fun! You have such creative ideas and I really love your Macro images as well. I've been longing for a Macro lens. ;-) Welcome to the Documenting Delight group! I'll look forward to following your project!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa!
DeleteI love my macro lens.. and it seemed like such a waste not to use it to capture the fine details we often overlook :)
