Join me for a photo a day...

I'm a very routine orientated person.  My alarm goes off at 5.09 every morning.  I am out of bed and out the door to the gym by 5.20 each morning.  The theory being that if I'm still asleep as I step in the gym, it'll be too late to leave.  I leave the gym at 6.25 each morning and I drive past a bakery on the way home.  Every.Single.Morning I decide how jealous I am of the streams of people coming out of that bakery with little brown paper bags of pies and cakes.  Food envy by 6.25am.  That can't be healthy.

Anyway.  I thought for the eight thousandth time this morning how I wish I had the freedom to buy a freakin pie for breakfast like all those other people.   I quickly tell myself how awesomeley healthy I probably am compared to them - clearly I still want the pie, it's just a way of dealing with my food envy.  THEN it occured to me how I have this same thought process every morning and how incredibly routine orientated I am.

All this within the 4 minute drive home. 

Then, still thinking, I decided that I haven't done enough telling of stories through my photos lately.  Considering the layout below was in 2008, and still is now, my most favourite ever, I should be doing more of this type of scrapbooking.  I love this for the simple way it tells the story, it was a candid pic, not set up, just taken as I walked past one day. 

And so today I put something to you.  I've searched out a photo-a-day challenge for March. 
It's one photo taken a day, no deep and meaningful thinking or setting up of photography equipment.  I plan on using my phone and not overthinking the prompts. 

Does anyone want to join me?  Take a look at the prompts below. 

I'll post the pics here.  I'll create a layout at the end.  It'll be a fun change in inspiration.

It's a week away though, so for now I'll find a few other things to take pics of.  Like these shoes.  I'm clearly in need of new ones.  Don't laugh at the way I wear my shoes out through the top.  These shoes have gone a whole lot of miles.  They've seen me through many walks thorugh the gym door at 5.25 each morning.  They deserve a layout, no?  Perhaps I could even add the journaling about my daily battle with the bakery. 

Laters.

this is fun. I did the jan one from fatmumslim too!!
you know you could eat the pie........down side you would need to run 10km to work it off!!....thats scary to thing that a pie can do that much damage in such a short time. So yes your right do the drive by + keep up the good work!!

I'm doing the 365 Project - 1 photo a day(366 this year). Using my phone and not set up (unless I want it to be). I'm not a regulated person so I thought I might 'fail' at this challenge but so far, so good. (I did only remember to do yesterdays photo when I went o turn my phone off before bed!). Great way to document your life.

LOL yes you do need new shoes and because you don't buy the pies - you can have a new pair of shoes he he

I have always loved that layout. So simple yet it says so muc. It gives me goosebumps each time I see it.
Oh I am sooo glad that I am not the only person in the world who wears out her shoes on the top! Bit embarrassing when you are wearing your fave good shoes and you look down and see holes in them!

OK, I'll play along, even if only to show how boring my day's can be, get up, go for a walk, go to work. Who knows I might find something interesting along the way.

I love the idea Nic and I am ready to play along too.
This wonderful layout remins me of my alltime favourite photo . Barry always placed his slippers neatly beside the bed and we woke one morning to find a tiny little pair of slippers placed right beside . Our youngest always sneaked into our bed every night for many years....by the time you get to 5 you are over returning them to their bed. I took a photo and it gives me a warm feeling everytime I look at it....that boy is now 28 and much taller and bigger than his dad.I am getting my camera out now.Not enjoying work at the moment so this is a nice challenge. Thank you Nic. xx

OK. I'm in !! Quite a few of the photos will have to be taken in New Zealand. I'll have to scrapbook about having to do a scrapbook/photo challenge in two countries. Any excuse'll do. Off to print out the list.

[Lainie]

Wow, I've never, ever seen or heard of shoes being worn out thru the top before, but I've just gotta ask - how does that happen??
I like the photo a day for a month so I'm going to join you! I hope stick to it!

[Margaret Burton]

I want to join the challenge also. I did one at Big Picture during December a couple of years ago. I like that you wrote out the list already so we can be prepared. Thanks for doing this.

Great challenge Nic, life goes by in a blur and worth taking a second to appreciate the moments (and pie)

[kathie]

Hi Nic! I've been going since January 5th! And haven't missed a day. Seeing as I don't really get the chance to scrapbook these days, I figured this is a way of still keeping the memories :). Maybe I'll be inspired to do a layout a month with them.

love the shirt...love the layout...it is actually in my fans somewhere.

I am going to play along with this photo a day challenge! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Lyndal]

Only just found this and aim to play too :)

All the great and worthy persons (whether the ancients, nowadays, as long as it are remained in human memory, none of the mad degree of love: because of the great business, do keep out these weak feelings.

This is my first time i visit here. I found interesting things to many in your blog, mostly to the debate.
