Ok - I thought a bit about this little photographic challenge of mine... Had several ideas.. but this is the one I choose for today, something that I remember doing as a child. I thought a daisy chain, let me tell you it was not quite as easy with adult hands as it was as a child. Just to make it a little more difficult I got home to find that my lawns had been mown and I had s serious lack of daisies. Now this is not normally such a bad thing but on the day one wants to make a daisy chain it is a severe blow.
I read a blog post from kind over matter this morning that made me think.. Although I am an artist there are days I completely get lost in everything that is not creative. I was thinking that this might be a nice creative exercise, to take five minutes ten minutes a coffee breaks worth, to look around me and see life through a child's eyes. I am going to do this for two weeks, a photographic journal... of life through a child's eyes. I think it will be interesting to see if my perspective changes, if I see a sence of freedom in my shots. I will limit myself to three photos, because I tend to go crazy and click away. This is going to be a challenge for me.... for if there sometime I am not the best at it is letting go of my inhibitions and just being or acting like a child would "carefree" Ok - I thought a bit about this little photographic challenge of mine...

Now this is not normally such a bad thing but on the day one wants to make a daisy chain it is a severe blow. Day One: Sadly I did not, in fact could not limit myself to 3 shots was something more like 30, I got carried away. So here are my favourite 3 for my Daily Creative Space. Day Two: This did not go as well as the picture in my mind insisted... oh well moving on! Day Eight: Ok, so days 3 through 7 did not happen. I go a bit side tracked. So I have to admit this challenge is not going at all to plan. But I have some great ideas lined up... again not the idea of the challenge as that was really to live in the moment and not plan shots or ideas for shoots... Never mind.
