This is my third round in capturing my day in the life! This time, I decided on New Years Eve 2020 to round out the crazy year. I am going to apologize ahead of time for explicit language…but whenever I reflect on the year that is 2020, my first thought is, “What in the F*ck?” But my next thought is always that my family rocks and how lucky I am to have friends near and far who I can still talk to. On a day to day basis, it is absolutely true that family drives me crazy and there are (many) days where I shouted, “I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE,” but despite all the changes from the pandemic, there are amazing days and thankfully, tons of giggles that echo through our walls.
The truth is that some days, I don’t want to photograph for myself. The pandemic and the feeling that I am living the same day over and over again have sucked so much of my desire to create. But heck, even when I don’t want to photograph, the kids are still growing rapidly..and I know that the second I get out of my rut, I am going to regret not documenting such a strange time. And you know what, I have never ever regret choosing a date to document a day in my life even if I wake up that day not wanting to do it. Getting my film scans back ALWAYS reminds me to be grateful for all that I have and the pure process of making these images has made me more intentional in looking around for the little things that make my life mine.
