I’m excited to share that I’m involved in a super lovely photo project this year called The Hours. The idea being that this collection of photographers (there are 40 of us) each share a photo we’ve taken at a specific hour, each month having a different hour as we work through the clock. For January it is 7am, February 8am etc.
My friend Audrey asked me to join in which definitely was part of why I said yes (cause she’s super lovely) but also because the idea of taking photos at a certain hour lights me up. I love going for photo walks but I do find they are often at a similar time of day when the light is the brightest.
Light has been one of the things that drew me into a love affair with photography. I especially adore late day light, as it moves so quickly and I’m reminded of the beautiful impermanence of it. So heading out for a walk in the dark to get a 7am photo felt outside of my ‘light’ comfort zone in the awesomest of ways.
I’m not sure if all of mine will be selfies. I’d love to give myself the freedom to take any kind of photos that arise. I’m also excited to be getting my DSLR out even more for this project, especially since my phone is my go-to camera so often.
Since there are so many people involved, there are 4 posts per month on Sundays. I’m a part of the first week crew so each month you’ll be able to check out my contribution over there along with the other inspiring photographers involved!
Y’all are welcome to join in with your 7am photos this month (and join us any month) with the hashtag #thehours2015 and you can find out more over at The Hours website or The Hours Instagram or Facebook Page too !
