I’m not good at being on time really. Ask anyone. I have the very best of intentions but life gets in the way, and my head is always full of other thoughts and things to do and I forget, procrastinate, etc. So when the New Year rolled around and everyone began the Project 365, or Project 52, I just didn’t bother. I KNEW I wouldn’t be able to keep up, especially in the crazy months ahead. But I didn’t want to miss out completely, so I decided to do something different. Project 12 will be one image a month, of our whole family (me included!) doing whatever we happen to be doing. Capturing some memories of what our life is like now. I don’t want my children to grow up and look though the albums and not see anything of them with their ‘Mumma’.

      So here’s #1 of 12…yes, it is a rough start. No-one wanted to co-operate! I wanted a picture of all of us snuggled on the couch for Friday movie night, but the kids were not happy I was getting in front of the screen while setting up and Greg- he just doesn’t like pictures. Plus he was just showered and says his hair looks like- well, you know what. Oh well. It’s still a memory right?! lol Besides, Kingston is waving!

      Gotta love the ISO capabilities of the D700- no flash necessary and this was a dark room with the exception of the light from the tv!

      Awwww, sorry the family wasn’t as interested in doing this….I still think it’s a nice capture. And your kids will thank you (some day). 😀

      Even if they weren’t terribly enthusiastic, I *love* this 🙂

      I adore this, too! thanks for the reminder … I only have a few days left to get my shot!

      Awww, I love it Tam! Sooo cute. Part of the beauty of it is that they weren’t enthusiastic. Great capture! Have fun with your project… I may have to get on that bandwagon once I”m done mine, I’ve been loving it so much, but everyday for a year seems a little ambitious… 🙂

      Love this! I just love the fact that you captured a family activity.

      Love this idea. I think this is an awesome idea. Maybe I should get my butt in gear and do this before the end of the month.

      I love this! It is very “normal” and how my family would act! Perfect.
