needles & vectors

Ever had a bad day where you just can’t seam to focus on the things that are good in your life? Those bad days used to be very common for me but now, they’re few and far between. But, still, I have those days. On those days, I sit and force myself to think of all of the things in my life that are going well, of all the people who love me, of stupid things like the foods I like or a pretty house on a nearby street. Of course, on bad days, it’s hard to thinkof more than a handful of things.

So, my new project is this: develop a photographic list of the things which make me happy. As soon as I can get my hands on Matt’s camera, the list-building will truly begin. Look out for a new page on the blog soon with all of the images I come up with (and maybe a few blog posts here and there). I’m going to probably start by snapping photos of anything in my house then my neighborhood then at school and, finally, wherever I have to go to get photos of the things that make me happy.

The list won’t just be big things like Matt  or learning something new but the small things like an ice cold Diet Coke or a perfectly organized closet. Anything that makes me smile on a bad day or giddy on a good day, I want an image of it.

(What makes you guys happy? It is people or places or things or smells? I want to know, be it here or on your blog. I really am curious, not just trying to feel loved through comments. This is something I spent a lot of time thinking about, what it is that makes other people happy – especially little, silly things.)
