A couple of months ago I read an article in a magazine about a mom who hired a photographer to follow her family around for an entire day to capture a true
day in the life for their family. While I'm pretty sure that I don't want a stranger following me around for an entire day with a camera (especially not into my laundry room or a couple of closets around here), I do think the idea is interesting. I think it would be fun now to look at pictures of a
day in the life when I was five years old. I really don't remember anything about being five years old except that I tortured my poor mother by insisting that I ride the bus on the first day of kindergarten (and every day after that) and kept waving at her from the back of the bus while she followed us to school in her car (if either of my children do this I think I will crawl in a hole and stay there for a very, very long time - mom, I really am sorry about that!). Anyway, I'm thinking I'll start trying to capture some more
day in the life-type moments around here, and unfortunately, you're going to be subjected to them!
So, here's a look into a typical Sunday afternoon around here:
Clay and Ethan spend it doing boy things like watching episodes of the 1965 Batman tv show on the computer after they've played a few levels of Lego Batman on the PS3
I spend a chunk of my Sunday afternoon clipping coupons from the paper
And Rachel spends part of her Sunday afternoon recovering from her 5:30 a.m. wakeup that she feels is necessary after the time change
that is a terrific idea...just make sure that clay (or ethan or rachel) actually gets some shots with you in them too. i looked back at luke's b-day party pics, and realized there is only one of me, and that's b/c i had somebody take it. it's almost like i wasn't even there b/c i was the one on the other side of the camera.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to our Sunday...Kade recovers from a busy morning in the church nursery by napping, I leave the newspaper/coupons scattered on the kitchen table/counter/living room floor, Johnny and I take naps, and Katie tries to watch as much tv as possible while everyone is napping.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea.. and I would love being subjecting to them... might have to ditto this project... love it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great Sunday afternoon!
