stories within stories :: 5 minute project
I like... the way words look on the page. Left justified, all lined up. Each letter shaped just so. And I like how each letter builds a word and each word a story. I like how the best stories are the stories within the stories. How, when the character in the story says, "Let me tell you a story." That's when I know, "now we're getting to the good part."
That's what I want my photography to be. All about the stories within the stories. There are photographers out there who make this look easy {inspiration} when it is anything but. But that's what practice is for, right? A 365 project, started and restarted and then restarted again. Practice.
In the round-about way of the internet I landed on the 5 Minute Project. A personal project, turned inspiration and challenge. Documenting five minutes of your daily life. Perfect for practice. So, I sent in an email saying I'd love to play along - a long shot for getting to be included in the blog, but good practice either way. And then I heard back from Dana and she was asking me to join! Little ol' me in with all the other real photographers!
For the rest of the story... 5 minute project. Thanks cousins, for being my 5 minute subjects. I'll take sunny, relaxing days with free pedicures and lots of hanging out with you guys any time!
