Everyday life 2009. That's the title of the challenge I took in January. Take a photo every day for the year. That is truly a challenge for someone that photographs milestones and events only. I see my life that way. I can't remember the day to day routines and events. Yet, these day to day happenings are what life if made of. These are the things that make up what we are, physically, emotionally, spiritually. It is what we do every day that determines our lives. Good habits or bad habits shape our lives in the present and future.
So what about our mundane daily lives? We didn't have digital clocks when I was young. Yet the novelty of that transition quickly wore off. All of these changes, had they been documented with the excitement I felt when they occurred, would have seemed exciting and shocking to my generations to come. It makes the significance of the everyday more important. What will they remember about me?
