I made it!
And I did it in the 12-14 days I said I would! (This roundup is happening about a week late, because the last week has been a bit of a mess.)
Ten days to go!
Or, knowing me and the way I’ve approached this project, probably closer to 12-14 days to go! (Remember when I said this project was going to end on 9 June? And that I’d use a real camera more than my phone? Good times.)
I’m a little bit late with this roundup. And I was a little bit (but not quite as) late getting through this particular group of ten photos.
I’m still missing a day here and there, but that’s fine. I haven’t let the project stall again, so I’m happy.
I’m also starting to think about what comes after I hit Day 100.
I’m honestly starting to freak myself out with this. Just a little.
I’ve managed to stay (mostly) on schedule for more than one week in a row!
I’m not a superstitious person.
At the same time, I’m really reluctant to talk about how well this project is going. I feel like if I do, if I talk about how I’m finding a rhythm, I’ll jinx it.
But I’m not a superstitious person, and this project is starting to go really well. Not every single day, but on the days when it does go well, it’s kind of amazing. I’m happy with this project specifically, and I’m thrilled with my photography in general lately.
This is what happened: I thought I was done putting too much pressure on myself with this project. And then I missed a day (lack of inspiration, or motivation, or something else… I can’t remember at this point), and then two days, and then I started feeling anxious about how the project had stalled….
Anyway!
Now that I’ve taken some of the pressure off – and since I’ve had fresh flowers on hand to play with – this project is fun.
Ok, so: I’m not going to try to take a photo every. single. day. That was the original plan, but this past week (and a half) reminded me how much that kind of pressure stresses me out and makes me resent the entire process.
I might have freaked out – just a little – when it came time to actually start this project.
