I am going to partake in a photo project, based on an article I read in a magazine last year. A mother of two, melancholy like me, decided that taking a photo of something that made her smile each day would help her focus on the happy, positive things in her life. I am going to do the project for the same reasons, except I am not a photographer and I do not have a whizz-bang camera. I do, however, reckon that I will have some excellent subjects for my pictures.

I am going to try to find things other than my children to photograph. It’d be easy to take a photo of them each day because they always make me smile. I am also going to avoid taking photos of things. Eg my new car makes me smile, but it doesn’t add anything special to my life (it just goes up the driveway so excellently!). Therefore, I will avoid taking photos of materialistic things.

Rules:

1. Try to take photos of different things (don’t be repetitive in subject matter).

2. Avoid taking photos of objects because things don’t really make us happy (well, you know what I mean)

3. I’m allowed to take more than one photo each day if I am having a particularly good day.

4. If nothing makes me smile, I can resort to subject matter for which I am grateful.

5. I *have* to take a photo every day, even on my phone if I have to.

6. I can change the rules at any time.

Perhaps some soul-searching will happen for me this year.
