month of mornings | a look back


I really enjoyed my 'month of mornings' photo project last year - a week each season (summer, autumn, winter, spring), equalling a months worth of photographs (28 in fact, which makes the month February, I guess).

I didn't give myself lots of rules - just seven mornings in a row, with anything until noon counting. Although only once was the photo taken that late in the morning, most often I was done before breakfast - or at least before morning coffee. I think splitting the project up into seasons worked well - not only did it keep the images interesting, but a week of photos is a challenge, without becoming really hard work.

Actually, I think picking the image for each day was probably the hardest part - I almost always had plenty of extras, especially on the days I took the camera on my morning walk, in order to catch the sunrise.

a study in contrasts

winter & summer
Something I thought about during my month of mornings project was trying to visually capture the difference between the seasons. We don't have snowy winters, or lots of autumn colour - most of the trees around here don't even loose their leaves in winter. If only I'd thought about it enough to take a photo in the same spot every season....still, I have a few examples of the way plants & places change with the seasons...
