i loved this recent post by Stacey Woods on the creative mama

its about a 365/Grateful project that Brisbane photographer Hailey Bartholomew started in 2008

Hayley took a polaroid every day of something she was grateful for (you can view them in her flickr stream)

the idea of the project is to live in the moment & be open to simple daily pleasures, because being aware & grateful for the little things, helps you to view the world from a more positive angle

i’ve started 365 projects & made grateful lists – all with good intentions, but the habit hasn’t ever lasted

this one feels different … the idea of photographing the things i’m grateful for is challenging, but in a fun way!

i’d love to do this project with an iphone or polaroid camera (like one of the SX70 land cameras!)

but i’ve found the next best thing – this great polaroid action. i tried a few & enjoyed this one the most. everything is layered so you can toggle & adjust the effects & there are 6 different emulsions: type 600, vivid, expired & b&w + type zero & type zero expired

here are the 1st 4 days in the series – if you’d like to play along, be sure to post a link in the comments!
