Week In The Life : Tuesday

Happily taking photos and keeping up. While I am low on the #, I have just what I want. Today is a sick day, something I have never documented. It should be interesting to capture it.

My favourite picture was the one of me cooking dinner. It's technically pretty bad and not very interesting to others but I love that I have a pic of myself cooking...takes up such a large part of my day and I never think to document it.

Here is the picture of me at the library.

I am trying to blog my progress as well but I am keeping an open word doc on my computer to jot down all my thoughts. I am trying to express more of my feelings this time around.

This is the first time I've done Week in the Life, and the whole family is involved. My 6 year old daughter summed up every detail of her day on Monday while I typed it up. I'm embarrassed to admit that it was the first time I found out about some of the cool things she does at school! Thank you for having me slow down, ask the right questions, and really listen to the answers.

Wow Ali!!! realmente es un proyecto ambicioso e inspirador, inicié con mis fotografías, aunque realmente son pocas si pieso que en una sesión para un album tomo de 50 a 100, entonces para un dia deberían salir muchas más, pero aunque mi cámara está siempre conmigo mis actividades me hacen olvidar que debo fotografiar...ya me acostumbraré...me encanta la idea, finalmente es el objetivo: dejar plasmado el testimonio de la vida, capturar la imagen con la fotografía y enriquecer la esencia con las palabras, es realmente hermoso, aunque no se si sea capaz de hacerlo, ya de por si mi vida es un caos de papel....no imagino la próxima semana, pero si procuraré dejar documentado mi primer proceso de documentar un semana!!!

I noticed & loved all the flowers too. :)

I'm a little behind with the downloading and journaling part of this, but I do have pictures and other "stuff" collected. Just need to sort through and post a link here at a later time...check back...it'll keep me honest!
Ali, I love how genuine you are and want you to know how much I appreciate all the tips and photos you are posting. Awesome inspiration!!! For the first time today, I put my camera on my dashboard and took a photo.

Ali, I am *so* enjoying this project! In 2008 I took the photos, but did not complete the album. I think I'm going to go back and use those photos and add the journaling that I remember... I still think it'll be so cool to look at. This year I'm keeping it simple... taking the photos, sorting and blogging some of the best to work through them. Keeping journaling each day by writing things down as I go. Next week I plan to put it all together. Thanks *so* much!
Here's my post from Monday's pictures:

You always have beautiful flowers scattered around your home! I've had days with that many pics... takes longer to sort through and clean them out than it does to take them! Makes me nostalgic for the days of film... Don't get me wrong, far more benefits to digi, but in many ways easier. There were not hundreds of pictures to sort through!

I took lots of lots of pictures too.
One is at my midwife as I got acupuncture to make the birth of our first daughter easier. Will it help? I don't know yet.

And the second shot is to document the growth of my belly. Feels like it's exploding recently!!!

I like, that they are not perfectly in focus and best quality. Thats what makes it a snapshot that documents the magic of the moment in my eyes!!!
It is an amazing journey, and I am happy to feel triggered to document it more!!!
Thanks!

The album set has ALL YOU NEED! I bought it first and downloaded it to see what else I would need to get and was pleasantly surprised to see it had everything! Cannot wait to use it - I am a big picture girl so want to see more of the week unfold before I plug in the days - but am so excited to know these templates are waiting for me at the end of the week! =) - pennyscraps

Whew! I thought I was crazy to have taken SO many photos in one day. I am having fun with the project, but realizing that there aren't as many things to capture EVERY day. Some things are repeats, and that's cool. I'm also putting emphasis on THINGS now. Like my son's cup, detangler for his curls, etc. I still need that photo of me sitting at my computer though!!!! :)

I am constantly being amazed at the power of me. The past couple of days have made me realize how not so insignificant the moments in my day are. I started out thinking my story would be oh, so boring but since documenting especially how I feel (and not what I try to do for everyone else) I found that I do have a voice and it is not boring! That put a smile on my face.

You are amazing Ali! These photos are genius because they show you, just your "really you"!! This week, I can't do the project this week, so I know I will do it next week (holidays) and the one after too!!!! One for holidays with kids and one for "work time".

I'm loving this project so far, although it's been a challenge to find ways to take interesting photos at work. Thanks for leading this!
Here are my favorites from my Sunday: http://larillos.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-in-life.html

OK Ali, I have to ask. How are you taking great photos in the car???

My favorite photos from day 2 are on my blog...except I forgot to add one of my little girl....maybe I'll go back and edit one in. We didn't do much on day 2 and we've hardly done anything so far today! :)

Oops...here is my website....www.stiglets.blogspot.com

I love that Beth.

Following your prompt, I finally posted a couple of favorites from monday and tuesday on my blog:

And now that my kids are a little older, that quote hits me right in the heart :(

My fave from yesterday...http://www.flickr.com/photos/dnsvm/4540227345/

haven't uploaded any of my photos yet ... planning to do that at the end of the week ... but my favorite photo from yesterday is a picture of my daughter (8mos) eagerly crawling towards my son (3yro) as he's playing with his trains, much to his dismay, of course.

Robyn, your album totally rocks!!! I hope you will share how you made it because I would love to know! :)

I am doing the same thing with the Word doc open all day but it is true that it is more facts than thoughts right now... I am having a hard time going "deeper"...

What a beautiful idea Ali. I was so moved by your photos. I realize now that though I love to craft & I used to love taking photographs & journaling prolifically that I have laboured under the misconception that scrapbooking has to show a polished life (and I've felt ever since gaining weight that I don't fit that picture, so I stayed out of the camera & have never tried Scrapbooking my experience out.) Your everyday photographs--and that poignant quote--made me realize that my life is memory worthy. That's more powerful that I can say! Thank You!
