April 1: Day 1 of 100 Days of Light.
I’ve “participated” in the 100 Days of Light Challenge for a few years now. The premise is simple— let the light inspire you to take photos for 100 consecutive days. Despite my best intentions, sometimes I make it through just a little of the 100 days, other times a VERY little. The good news is the community is so cool, chill, and French that they’re like, “You do you. The point is to learn, practice, and be inspired.” And in this era of little-kid-entrenched life, I’m grateful for ALL the “you do you” energy.
And to that end, this year, I’m honoring photos I’m taking in real time, but also those I’ve taken previously but never brought to completion. Like this one!
Last year was the only year since I learned about the challenge that I didn’t even attempt it. Louie was just a couple weeks old, and I was deep in survival mode. It seems only fitting that now that we’ve come a full year from then, I’m back to celebrating the light. And how perfect that the most luminous guy we know is cloaked in backlight as we celebrated his first year as a member of the crew. He’s such a sunshine-y kid, and the perfect first day of what I hope will be 99 more days of photographing (and living) light.
