First my goal was to show each season (4 grids total), then it went to every other month (6 grids total). I was pretty set on the 6 month goal and then February came and I started taking a photo every single day, mainly to document the events that surrounded my birthday. But I kept going and soon I had a photo a day for February as well.
I had made it two months and was still going pretty strong, so I kept going in March, then April and May, so on and so on.
Some days this project felt very time consuming. Some days I missed a photo and had to improvise. Some days I wanted to stop the project all together, but I kept going and I’m so glad I did.
(In case you were wondering, the first 9 and last grid months were created on my phone using an app called diptic. The other 2 grids were created on my computer in photoshop using a template I created. That’s why they look a little differen..)
I am so glad I stuck to this project and I am so glad I finished it. Even though I loved doing this project, I am not going to continue it next year. Maybe I’ll try it again in five years, or my first year of marriage or first year of child’s life. Or maybe I’ll come up with something new all together. We will see…
