No.130: The Coffee Project, Six Months In

The past six months, I’ve been quietly working on a little photography project (it’s one of my goals for 2018).  At first glance, it totally looks like one of those cliche, “Take a picture of your coffee” projects that get tons of eye-rolls.  But to me, it’s actually a lot more.  My morning cup (or sometimes afternoon) is my physical reminder to stop and notice: books I’m reading, school mornings, the weather, new purchases that I can’t stop admiring, time with little ones, etc.  All together, the photos tell a pretty cool story of 2018 so far.  I’m excited to see it to the end.

    This is such a cool idea! I love it. I'm thinking of doing that one-second-a-day video project for next year because I just think they're so cool!

      I've been recording one second everyday since we moved into this house, so almost an entire year now. It is by far my favorite project ever!! And we finally have some home videos now, haha!

    They look beautiful all together! You should be proud of those pies.

      2018 has been the year I discovered pies and homemade bread – so glad I have that represented in the photos!

      This was the first time I put ALL the photos together and it just brings it to another level! Can't wait to see what it looks like at the end.

      It's been a creative challenge, but has started to become as much as ritual as drinking my coffee.
