Is that a photo project I see on the horizon???

Glass half empty. Glass half full.

Bed rest can be a nerve-wracking experience! But if you play your cards
right, you can use the time to dream and plan for your next big adventure.

Like most first time parents, H and I are excited about having our first
baby. I have been researching on things we can do with the baby once
he/she is out in the world.

Yes, we live a simple life. But no, we do not live a boring life, or we at least
try not to hahaha... Instead, we've TRIED to focus our time, energy and
resources on things that matter to us.

On my to do list: A tradition that H, the baby and I can start as a family.
No, it does not mean skipping traditions that we already celebrate together
with our families. It will be more like having or starting a tradition of our
own.

We haven't quite decided on what this first tradition will be. The current
flavor of the month involves a photo project with the baby. Here are 3
inspiring "traditions" that are on the mood board:

a) The Arrow of Time - Since 1976, Diego Goldberg and family have had
individual portraits taken every 17th of June. The result is a time capsule
of the past 30plus years of their lives.

b) Project 365 - This project involves taking one photo, daily for one year.
Choose one topic: yourself, your kids, the neighborhood, your work, etc etc
etc and watch what unfolds in the ensuing year. One year does seem like a
long time. Imagine doing this with a Polaroid for two decades.

c) The '76s and Sveinn Birkir - You will only be born once... Project 1976
is Sveinn's audio/visual anthology for his birth year. Here you'll find photos
and audios of important and mundane matters pertaining to that year.


What are your favorite family traditions? I'd love to hear what works for your family!
