When Girl Meets Camera

If you've followed Miles from Ordinary for any period of time, you may have come across a post where I discuss my love/hate relationship with photography.

It's like a bad relationship or something.

It's weird.

But bottom line is that I adore it. And while visiting MOMa while in NYC a couple weeks ago, I began to realize just how much I miss spending time with my camera and seeing things from a different perspective.

As I've done the last few years (but with no success) I have decided to ONCE AGAIN tackle a 365 photography project. One photograph a day for the next three hundred and thirty-three days (I've already managed to get two days under my belt). The thing that is different this year is that there are no rules. I'm not going for a theme (although I would like to do one self portrait a week). No plan. No agenda. Just me and my camera which has been woefully neglected.

I have to say I am pretty excited about the project and getting reacquainted with my camera especially with school starting up again next week. The daily project will give me a mandatory break to flex my creative muscle.

Should you wish to follow along I set up a little blog for the project: When Girl Meets Camera. I can't guarantee the photography will be any good or the words accompany the photographs will be meaningful, but there could be a gem or two!

Remember when I had this grand idea of dedicating a blog to my Daily Square Project?

Let's just say it didn't work out quite like I thought it would. Mostly because I am the most indecisive person I know and kept changing my mind as to how I wanted to approach the project. But also because it ended up being a very time consuming. So....I'm ditching the extra blog and will be doing monthly updates here.

Woohoo!

I am happy to say I am right on track with making one granny square a day. I've decided that instead of making a different style or use different colors every day, I'm going to work on a set of squares for an afghan until it's finished.

The first one I am working on is for my mom. She picked out her colors and so far I love the result! The colors work really well together and the yarn is coming out really soft. It's going to be a super cozy afghan when it is done.

I've also been making hats like no bodies business. So far think I've done a dozen in the last week alone (I know....where I find the time, I just don't know) and have four more to go! I've been a little crazy, but it not only gives me an excuse to buy more yarn, it's also helping to add to the "scraps bag" to use in a really color granny square afghan I plan on making for myself. It's a definite win-win for everyone involved.
