turning nothing into something

floral burst and a stroll down memory lane

It finally happened. After an inspired mostly* daily photography practice for my big juicy delicious year, I had a frumpy dump week.

Yes, I’m still taking photos. But with all I documented over the past 7 days, nothing felt compelling enough to share. I never got that tickle of excitement while uploading and I even had to go look at this year’s 365 book after taking a photo to see if I already took one similar… I had. (To be fair it was Finn sitting on his pineapple Squishmallow — and yes I’m keeping it because you can never take too many photographs of your sweet elderly chi.)

Anyway, I knew this day would come and I’m okay with it. In fact, I realized not having much to share this week was an opportunity to give you an update on this project I’ve been working on.

To make a long story short, I’m combing through, re-editing and organizing roughly 15,000+ images to find my favorites from 2017 on. I’m proud to share that I’m 2,500 photos in and revisiting this time of life has been moving and nostalgic to say the least.

This nothing sure turned into something very special.

* There was a time when I did everything with such a rigid intensity. From art to exercise and beyond. Now, I approach all of my ideas with deep trust and flexibility. What peace.

Okay, I feel like there’s so much more to share but I’ve got to get to bed. I look forward to what next week will bring and even more so to ironing it out here on the blog.

In the meantime, please, tell me — what are you working on? What are you excited about? I’d genuinely love to hear/see.

I’ll catch you next week,

Elyse’
