I think I’m around the halfway mark today. I say around because I haven’t figured out when I’m actually finishing this little Photo a Day project. I only have in my mind that it will be the week of their first days at school. So maybe not quite halfway there. But today I needed a bit of a break. I felt like I was taking photos for the sake of taking photos. So I got the camera out and took what the kids gave me. And then I put the camera away, instead of chasing them around with it all day. I gave us all a bit of a break.
I have to laugh though. Even with the zero effort put in, and the lack of anxiousness that I would miss that ‘magical’ moment if I didn’t have my camera at hand, I still ended up with moments and responses that are so perfectly them. Perhaps removing the anxiousness was the key, or perhaps I just have predictable kids. Either way I’m thinking I need to care less more often, and just enjoy the kids as they are, instead of as possible photo opportunties.
Another lesson learnt.
