Would you like to join me?

I need to take a break. August is pencilled in for book-writing madness, and I know i won’t have many words left over for this space, so I’m thinking of trying an experiment. I’ve always been inspired by Darlene’s December Views project, where blogging participants let their photos do the talking for the whole of the month, so I’ve decided I need some of that for August.

Would you like to join me?

The (loose & very adaptable) plan would be to simply share one photo per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you want. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, 35mm, video – with or without words – anything goes – for the whole of August. No pressure -  just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging.

What do you think?

I’ve been racking my brain this morning trying to think of a suitably jazzy name for the experiment but all I can come up with is ‘the August break’ so that’s what i’m going with :) I’ve even made a badge!

So if you’d like to play along leave a comment with your name and blog address and I’ll add your link to a blogroll of participants so we can all visit each other throughout the month.

You wanna play? Spread the word – it’ll be like a blogging summer camp!

  • Hi Susannah – This past month I’ve been brainstorming how to best do my “digital sabbatical” this August. I usually go offline completely…but this year I really want to stay connected with my creative community.

    I’m in the midst of a gigantic painting project, so posting one photo a day might be an interesting glimpse of how my art retreat goes…

    Count me in…and I just love your work! xoxo Lisa

  • Fantastic idea! I would love to do this as my daily photo habit has floundered once I completed my 365 at the end of June. However, is it okay if we do end up writing as well? I have my weekly reflection project that I have been doing all year, so I would not want to drop that. Or maybe I am not thinking outside the box here ?

  • Oh *sigh* Susannah. :)
    I am wanting to start up a (new – don’t go there) blog. At first it was to post pictures of hats – titled “Behatted”. What can I say, I like them. But really, I want it to have all sorts of lovely pictures (fashion/decor/art/etc), encouraging, inspiring words and be fun. I still like the name Behatted, because when someone (man or woman) wears a hat there is an assumed confidence about them. They know who they are, have their own style and are proud to show the world. My interpretation of hat wearing anyway. :) So, like me, it will be eclectic and not just about hats. I will be doing artwork – hats may or may not be involved. I just wonder if the name is a bit “naff”. But being a part of your August break might be a great start. So maybe I’ll go with it – the good thing about blogspot is that the name can change!!! Bless you!

  • Me, too! Please! I can’t wait! In addition to a month of pics, I committ to commenting a lot. Even if it’s just a smiley-face, because it totally pumps me up to get a comment from someone.

    Reply

  • I am in! I had already reduced my blogging schedule to 3x per week at the start of summer but dropping the writing for August is really needed right now. It’s been a giant summer of stress at my house. Resorting to photo-only posts will be a joy and a relief.

  • I love this! This is sort of how I blog anyway, so it seems very fitting for August. Definitely in. Thank you.
