To Blog or Not to Blog......

I find myself wondering sometimes if my blogging and constant pictures of my kids are boring to some of you? I question whether I put too much out there about my life, especially where my Project 365 is concerned. When I blog, whether it be to do with my project or my photography, I try not to get into personal issues like what angers me, my personal views on religion, politics, the photography industry (and trust me I have plenty that angers me in this area!) and instead try to focus on my day-to-day life as a Mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend. I try to keep my blogs upbeat and funny, with a twist of sarcasm. To me, writing has always been therapeutic. I don't really do it for others, I do it for myself. I certainly don't do it to "drum up business" as that's not the way I want to run my career. So I guess the question is - why do I do it?

Since starting my Project 365 I am amazed by how many people follow it and often send me an email telling me how they related to that certain picture or something I wrote. When I first started the project I figured it would be for me, about my day to day life and a great way to practice photography. It has become so much more than that. I have received countless emails from Moms just like me either trying to get into the photography business, or simply because they can relate to what I write about motherhood, family and everything those two important subjects mean to me.

I am a little more than three weeks from being done my Project 365 and I have had several people ask if I'm going to continue with it. I haven't decided yet. I enjoy it and find it very challenging and also a great way to improve on my work, but I'm just not sure I should do it all over again.

So, to those of you who follow my blogs - thank you! To those of you who think it's boring or uninteresting - don't follow it! I guess it's as simple as that. I will continue to blog and post my work as I see fit. There are certain pictures of my personal life that you will never see, but for the most part I am proud of my beautiful children and family and I will "show them off" as much as I can!

PS - I am fully aware that this picture below is blurry, but I love it just the same! ;)
