But now it’s over.
It is one thing to take photos every day…
But it is another thing to create a blog post every day.
And after one month of daily blog posting… I have learned that it just isn’t sustainable (for example it is 3:38 am and I am still working on this post.)
This 365 project has showed me that having to photograph my life and then share it every day does not feel quite right…
I have worked hard over my life as a photographer to keep some separation between my personal life and my work.
So while I would like to continue to try and take photos every day… I may not share those photos.
Partly because my life just isn’t (this) photogenic every day…
And partly because I commute for work several times a week…
Which leaves me photographing during the very few (very dark) hours that I am home…
Which means that after a year of photographing every day, I will either have a very complete series of HAH in the bath,
Which will upset my Midwestern Grandfather, who already disapproves of the amount of times HAH is not wearing clothes in photos.
Or I will have a very repetitive and tiresome series of HAH sleeping… especially since I am not creating incredible themes around his sleeping body and I can’t convince Arann to let us get a puppy so I can take cute photos of them sleeping together.
The good news is that now that I am blogging again… I hope to keep that momentum going, maybe even once a week.
And I am very grateful for all the encouragement I have gotten from people who have visited this blog.
It is because of all the kind words I received that this resolution has lasted much longer than any of the other resolutions I made.
But now it is time for me to take a break…
And I look forward to sharing again when I feel like I have something really awesome to share.
somewhere between a handshake and two kisses 
You always have something awesome to share, but I can understand the need to find balance. But please DO keep the blog going, it’s special.
Hello Paige,
Congratulations for sticking to your 30-day blog commitment! It was fun to admire your photography, but I’ll admit finding time to look every day did escape me at times.
Congratulations for sticking to your principles, values and family. Those are the things that make YOUR life worth living and that’s what you capture in your work. It’s having a life worth living that makes it all worth living for. Doreen
(In case you are curious, my friend is Elizabeth Boothby from Petaluma, CA and that’s how I discovered your blog.)
