I do like to stop at the passing of one year into the next to account for my living. Sometimes, this takes the form of a New Year’s Resolution but more often, it is a looking back to make sense of what I have done, where this has gotten me and the setting of intentions for where I would like to be in the future. As part of this process, I decided to merge my interest in editing images into books with a daily mandate to photograph my everyday life.
Pages for January 22 and 23, 2012, Everyday Stories 2012: Winter Vol. 1
I end each day by adding another page to the book and when I have January, February and March completed, I will send it off to the printers as Volume 1.

Foreward of the Book
By the end of 2012, I will have four volumes with 3 months in each book covering the 4 seasons of the year and my day to day life in pictures. It will be a visual diary. I could see editing this into some sort of show too once the themes have revealed themselves to me.

This is an exciting project and has spurred me on to be more creatively involved in the intention of my life.
2011 was a big year with many milestones and big events. For 2012, I set the intention to make an image to represent each and every day. The guidelines for the project included the following rules:
I set goals and published quarterly.
I appreciate the self-discipline and daily accounting. 2012 ended up being a pretty wonderful year. I have decided to continue the project into 2013.
