life in 12
i finally did it! i dreamt up this project a while back and procrastinated for a little while on it. then i shot some images and still dragged my feet over the post because i struggled with the presentation and the design. finally i can move forward! i would like to present to you my new project...
life in TWELVE
LIFE IN TWELVE IS …
me committing to going over once a month for twelve months. I will document life. I will tell a story in pictures and in words. At the end of it all they get a book. One that holds their story, their legacy, their proof that they were here.
WHO ARE THEY?
grandparents, first time moms and dads, newlyweds, a high school senior, 20 year marriage veterans, an author, a celebrity, a photographer, a small business, a corporation, models, bus drivers, doctors, happy families, challenged relationships, you, whoever you are .. whatever you are.
WHAT IS THIS?
a documentary, a story, a challenge, a personal commitment, an opportunity for expression, a time capsule, a chance to explain, a visual journal, a journey, a goal, a legacy, a release, a quest for truth, ordinary, creativity, a photographic novel, a life, your life.
WHEN DO I COME OVER?
before brushing your teeth, during afternoon tea, while you meditate, as you put your makeup on, while cooking, on Tuesdays, on weekends, when it’s quiet, after everyone arrives, right before the storm hits, first thing in the morning, last thing at night, any time is the right time.
WHERE?
at home, in the office, at the grocery store, in bed, in the car, under the sun, at the nail salon, at a restaurant, on the famous couch, in the infamous room, at your desk, in your mind, in your environment, out of your comfort zone, wherever your life happens.
WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS?
to document a story for the generations to come, to share a perspective with others, because life goes by so quickly, to presere a memory, because we are our own reality shows, to mark a milestone, to give as a present to ourselves and the ones we love, because if you don’t do it no one else will.
