Words: In general, on the weekends, Jake and I take turns sleeping in. Today was my day, and Jake and the kids did lazy morning stuff upstairs for awhile. But then they decided to come watch TV in Jake's and my room, so I was awaken by giggling and craziness and Jonas sitting on my head. Which is all super cute, but I'm also not a morning person, so it didn't seem so at a time. Of course, as soon as I was dressed and my teeth were brushed, they were as docile as fat lazy house cats. Figures.
What you can take from this:
- This photo was taken with the Instagram app on my phone. It's blurry, but that doesn't matter. It captures our morning perfectly and I might not have gotten this shot if I had run downstairs to get my real camera and come back.
- When you think of documenting your routines, don't just think of things that happen everyday. This journaling documents a weekend routine; but you might have a routine that repeats weekly, monthly, or when you're with a certain person (the routine when you babysit a niece, for instance).
- Don't just capture photos of people when they look awesome. Just taking gorgeous portraits does't do very much to document what life is like (though those are great too, we take a lot of those). Try taking photos before you or your family are washed up and fancy.
This is my unplanned documentation for the day. This workshop is about documenting what matters to you, so I'm documenting what inspires me. If you get stuck, try documenting something from the Daily Doc | Nov 2012 handout. It has 30 prompts to use if you get stuck documenting. I'm tackling all the prompts month AND doing unplanned daily documentation.
