Each picture has to be different than all the others, no repeats, and I'm going to blog all 730 of them. And I have to print every single one to put in my "picture journal" for 2011.
The goal: 1 whole year documented, and journaled in a new and different way.
The reason: Because it sounds fun? And challenging?
Actually it's more than that. I'm sad to say I'm a horrible journaler. I try to keep up, and write about things I know I will want to remember for a long long time but it never ends up happening. So I'm left hoping I can rely on my brain to keep up with all the exciting things happening around me.
So this is my attempt to do journaling in a way that comes alot more naturally to me--pictures.
And because I wanted the challenge of having to take, and edit, 2 pictures every single day for a whole year. I want to be pushed to think creatively with how I document my life over the next 365 days.

The name: Authentic is my one word this year, and it seemed like a fitting title for this project. Here is where you will (hopefully) find bits and pieces of my "authentic" life.
"I can't write stories, only moments, because I think in photographs..."
Much Love.
