LIFE + PHOTOGRAPHY: Project 365

February 20, 2015 Alexandra Pettinato

Hey guys!  I feel like I start every post commenting about the snow...  But it certainly has taken over our lives hasn't it?  We have had a big week over here at casa Peres/Pettinato.  Pedro's sister, Laura, arrived from Rio just before the massive storm last Saturday.  We spent the weekend/week in the kitchen - cooking up delicious meals, visiting with friends, and doing yoga.  It was a great visit.  I'm hoping that when I look back on this year, I think less about the snow, and more about the happy memories that we have created.

I don't know if you follow me on Instagram (if you don't, you can find me @photolexx), but I've been completing a 365 Project.  I wanted to challenge myself to create a photo diary, and actually photograph something every day.  I am 51 days in, and I have to say, I'm loving it.  It's been so much fun curating the images in my feed, and actually thinking about what I am shooting.  It's also been an interesting experience using my iPhone as a "real camera".  My SLR isn't always the most practical option, but I've always got my iPhone on me - so there's no excuse to not take photographs!  (Though I've also been forcing myself to use my SLR more frequently.)  It's just a really low-key, enjoyable project.  It makes me super happy that I have really been embracing the things that I love lately.

Check out some of my adventures below!

I guess you could have just looked at my Instagram feed, but that's not really the point of the project.  I liked putting this grid together.  It was so nice to go through the photos and remember something special from each day.  Maybe I will create a book at the end of the project :)

OH!  I finally upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud, Yosemite OSX (on my laptop), and iOS 8 (on my phone).  And finally set up my iCloud account so it functions.  Wow, it feels good to have entered the world of 2015 technology.  Was feeling a bit left behind there.  Everything is running smoothly now, and it is GREAT.

I also finished putting together my first post for Mass Musings!  It comes out on Monday.  So check back (here + there) for more info on that soon.  I will be posting about yoga + travel a couple times a month.

I'm off to eat a late lunch smoothie bowl + get on my mat.  Rachel Brathen (@yoga_girl) just released a whole bunch of yoga videos with Gaiam, so I am about to give a couple of those a try.  Then it's off to an izakaya date night for Pedro + I (OMG it's our 6 year dating anniversary this weekend <3)!  Have a good one.

Until next time - peace, love and groovieness,

Alex
