52 portraits

I've been reading about the photo 365 project.  It's the one where you take a picture everyday and do something with it and at the end of the year you have a picture from every day of the year.

It sounds so wonderful...but completely unrealistic to me.  I just can't see myself really keeping up with it EVERY DAY.

But I recently found Bleubird Blog's The 52 Project.

I love this idea.  Take a picture (or portrait if you'd like to call it that) of each of your kids once a week for a year.  I can see so many things I could do with this. I could take them all in instagram and make a flipagram.  I could make a real flip book from Artifact Uprising.  They have really nice craft and papers and a nicely-sized square book for instagram photos.  I could make a larger print book or a gif! Maybe it's a poster with all 52 pictures.

And once a week seems so much easier than every day.

I've seen a lot of people in the blogosphere talking about "goals" instead of "resolutions".  I'm not really sure I know the difference.  But New Year's has always been a time for me, and I'm sure for many, to reflect about last year, and the past in general, and look to next year.  Whether it be a goal or something I resolve to do...I would like to do this.

Take one picture of each of my kids once a week every week this year. I'm excited to see the every day mixed in with the special times...all in one place.
