1/52

Georgia inspired me to take a photo every day this year. That’s 366 photos (more, actually, because one photo is never enough). I”ll blog a portrait of the children once a week, hence 1/52. I could post a photo every day but that would be adding another job to the list and frankly, I don’t need the pressure.
I take photos to illustrate my words. Writing will always be my chosen art but I find, when I’m writing professionally, that sometimes the deadlines, editorials and all-day-typing turns the creativity into a chore. A sad truth. I like composing a story through an image. Light flares are nice too.

One thing I’ve learned about taking photos – you only get better if you take your camera with you wherever you go.

Poet is teething and likes to chew her toes.
Che cut his toe after a vigorous game of tennis.
The foot theme was unintended.

    like this idea!
    I'm going to do a once a month family portrait instead though!
    I take way tooooo many photos of my daughter and blog way too many times about her as it is!

    Hey Jodi,
    I just saw your profile come up through Georgia's group 'Documenting Delight'and I recognised you straight away. I'm Amber Hamilton (well new last name now;) ), our Mums used to work together.
    Just thought I would stop by and say that your blog is divine. Truly, your words, your pictures, your babes, your home…all just beautiful.
    I have been looking at your posts and have been inspired already. Just lovely stuff.
    OK, starting to sound a wee bit stalker-ish so I will taddle off now.

    You're so right Jodi, I've got to bring my camera around with me more often.
    It really is about having it with you when an opportunity arises.

    your right Jody. having a camera on hand (if you are able to) all the time is such a great way to improve photo taking. your portraits are lovely. i don't think you can go wrong with such adorable children 🙂
