photo series
Tags:Ever look back over your photos to see similarities between different times? I like finding little goodies like these - doorway photos - they tell great individual stories and cool stories over a period of time. Here's one from this last week on the coast and one from last Easter:
and
Sometimes they are spontaneous and sometimes they become planned - you take a shot, you love it, you repeat it again in a different environment. I love seeing images that do this sort of thing over time. Here's a You Tube video that showcases this idea over time: Me: Girl takes pic of herself every day for three years (updated link). I can imagine tons of different ways this could play out in scrapbooking. Goes along great with the idea of an album in progress - one that will never be done until you are gone (or you stop creating). Love that idea of a that looks at something very specific over time. Maybe I could take a photo of Simon eating breakfast everyday - mundane but remarkably beautiful.
Lots of thoughts mulling around in my head today. The camera is in hand and I am ready.

Hi Ali;
Love the photos of Simon and the doorways.
Here is my submission from the last challange, I used Kristina Contes from the Dares" "Thankful" as the one I scraplifted her style. I really loved doing this, even though the 5th wheel was covered in paper.
Have a great weekend.

oh well Ali - I should put some pressure on you to joing the challenge for December that my friends have pressured me into - it would work well given your blog for the day!

I was thinking that -- as my daughters grow taller and taller -- we should do family pictures from far enough away to showcase their changes in height against what should remain the same -- a 5'8" mom and a 6'6" dad. The 9 year old is nearly 4'10" and the 5 year old is 4' even. I can't wait to be the shortest in my family!!!!

I just did a layout with my son and a friend playing outside -two very similar photos- a month apart, but the weather had changed dramatically, I love the way it turned out.

A happy accident occurred a few years ago
when going through old photos and I discovered
that I had "sleeping" photos of all three(at that time "all") of my children. They're spread out ten years between the first two and
ten months between the second and third.
Now we've added sweet Rosey to the mix and once I get a "sleeping" photo of her, it will,
no doubt, be this mother's favorite all time
page...ever!!! I've altered the three other's
to sepia tone, to add a timelessness.
One of those projects that I'm glad I procrastinated on, or else the page would have been incomplete, as Rosey was a total
surprise!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me today. I have a to do list a mile long. But I took a minute to catch up on your posts of the last few days and checked out some of the links you provided. Needless to say, I was inspired. I put everything aside and captured my babies on "film" for a while. The results are priceless - and will last forever. Thanks for the artistic push.
