week 3.

I'm a little late with this post (my plan of Thursdays is quickly getting away from me) but better late than never. That is, after all, real life, isn't it? These are mostly of Lia because she's home with me for so much of the day. The shot of my boy running, slightly blurry, twinkle in his eye -- that is him completely.

week 2.

a rainy afternoon and some sick kiddos led to lazy movie watching and serious book reading.

The Rules.

There are only a few simple rules for this project. I want to foster honest and real emotions, real life, real people.

1. It must be your own photo and your own work. Don't fake it. You just lose out on the gifts of this project.

2. Post as often as you'd like. Weekly, monthly, daily, whatever fits into your life.

3. Comment and draw inspiration from others following our journey but do not judge or put anyone down. If I see it, I'll delete you and kick you out. No ifs, ands or buts.

4. Be real.

Pass this on to anyone you'd like. Fellow photographers, moms, dads, anyone with a camera and something they feel is worth documenting.
