I tried something different in June. Inspired by Stephanie Purl-McPhee I used the app 1SE to record a a photo from each day, which it then mashes into a video. Here's mine for June:
June was weird. A lockdown, two vaccinations, getting back together with family and friends. I had some frustration around knitting, a cancelled holiday, some chilly mornings. I don't really feel like this captured the spirit of the month. There is a Sunday there where I ran 15 kilometres, and then met up with friends at a brewery. I forgot to take a photo of the group, so the whole experience, or at least the day, is just (another) picture of the beach. Nothing touches on the feeling I had, 14 kilometres in, standing at the world's slowest traffic light when Leon came back for me! Or how that first beer tastes. Or the joy of being out with friends old and new (although here are plenty of photos of that.) Or that doughnuts represent zero community transition in Victoria.As a deeper point, I think think exercise pulled me out of "the moment". I would think about what I was going to take a photo of in the mornings. Rather than just enjoying a moment, I'd feel a need to take my phone out to record it. I think it was a fun experiment, but one I won't repeat. I might do an "end of month" post though, because looking back can be quite nice.Or maybe I'll just keep it in the here and now.
