Project 365: Closing Out 2017 • RI Family Photographer

It's 2018 now. (I still can't get used to saying that.  Hopefully by February it will kick in!)  It's been a few days since I finished out my 2017 Project 365, taking one photo every single day for a year.  Last night I went through all the photos, one by one, for the whole year.  It seemed like September was yesterday and April was last week.  It's crazy how fast time passes, and I'm glad I documented it.  This is a good reminder to document your days, whether it's with your phone or a camera.  

While I'm not doing a 365 project this year, I am still focusing very much on documenting my own life.  As a RI family photographer, I document the lives of others and want to make sure that I'm always practicing that!

As for the very last part of December, there was light.  Christmasy light.  Sunlight.  Beautiful sunset light.  And everything in between.  Rain.  Snow.  And, of course, everyone's favorite cat, Lionel.  I'll admit that my creativity flagged in the last days of this project, but I gave myself permission to go out there, get a photo, and don't overthink it.  And I did.

So here they are, the last of my year.  Enjoy all that 2018 holds, and continue being creative.
