I love this project.
The simple act of remembering to have your camera on hand results in some of the best, most unexpected photos.
I took a ton of shots (more on Saturday compared to Sunday).
For my project this time I decided to do a large digital gathering of 3 inch x 3 inch cropped photos to showcase the weekend. I like seeing all the individual parts of our weekend brought together to create the whole. I will be uploading this today for printing along with most of the photos (scrapbookpictures.com). I have a bunch of specific stories in mind to tell once I get them back from the developer.
Here's a few of my favorite individual shots:
If you played along this weekend feel free to leave a link to your blog or project in the comments. I hope you enjoyed the process.
I would love to see how you chose to document the weekend.
Happy Monday!

Whew!! The weekend is long gone, but it was fun capturing it in detail. Thanks for the idea! I'm not sure yet how I will project this... I'm just starting to digitally scrap. So perhaps it will be a two page spread to go into a 2009 album?? I have enough shots to make its own 8x8 book, but the time? Ah, we'll see what happens. I posted some of my shots on my blog...

This looks great, I am determined to try this this weekend as will be a typical weekend with childrens netball games, extra ballet classes and a birthday party to go to. My only question do you physically crop your 4x6 photos to 3x3 or do you somehow resize them in photoshop first? I have physically cropped to 4x4 when trying to emulate yiour style but most of my photos would lose a lot if trimmed to 3x3 BUT i love the look. Thanks for sharing so much!

Hi Ali,
this was the first time I dared to make such a documentation, because I always feel like one week or so is too overwhelming - and what should I say: I really loved it!
I have blogged just a few pictures:

but I will make a mini-album of this weekend.
