  • Tell Your Story – A Photography Challenge

    So I have been dreaming about you. Intrigued? Well you should be.

    You see, I have big dreams for the Learn with Jenny community. And I want you to be a part of it. One of the most important things that I have learned over the past year is this…
     

    No one can tell your story better than you.

     
    I have written before about pictures that I wish I had of my childhood. So many ordinary moments that I wish I could celebrate and reminisce with through pictures. But there are also pictures now that I haven’t taken that are part of my story. Pictures that you haven’t taken that celebrate your story.

    I have participated in a weekly Project Life link up every Tuesday. My favorite part of looking at the PL pages is seeing all of the stories told through words and pictures. Yes, I love the pretty papers and embellishments, but I rarely remember them. I do remember the pictures I see, stories I read, and the celebrations of the ordinary in others’ daily lives.

    So next Friday, May, May 18th, I will have a link up to your blogs where we celebrate our stories through photos.

    Your assignment is to take 5 photos of:

    1. Your morning routine.
    2. The contents of something you carry around on a frequent basis.
    3. A thing that you pass everyday that you have never taken a picture of.
    4. Your happy place.
    5. Someone who makes you smile.

    {My happy place}
     

     
    If you don’t have a blog, feel free to email me some of these pictures, as I would love to share some of them on my blog and facebook page. Email me at jenny@jennymeyerson.com

    This is not a photography contest. This is not meant to add to your to do list. No scrapbooking is necessary. And if you are single and don’t have any children, this is for you too. It’s simply 5 pictures that help tell a story about you. A story that perhaps you have never told until now. Remember, no one can tell your story better than you.

    Starting Friday, May 18th there will be a link up every Friday. There will be 4 themes every month: Tell your story, A Heart of Gratitude, Project Health, and Speaking our Dreams out Loud/Life List. More details to come shortly. Just wanted you to get you excited about things to come.

    Jeff and I have decided to really give this blog a real go at it. We really feel that a difference is being made. Thank you for your support, kind words, and energy. Your comments and emails never go unnoticed or unappreciated.

    Blessings sweet friends – Jenny

    Oh this could be fun! I’m starting to think outside the box when I’m taking ‘daily’ photos especially for PL.

    I’m JUST getting into the paper and embellishments…haha How ironic….

    5 pix on a friday. DONE!
    thanks Jenny

    I read this early today and have already started writing down ideas of what story to tell for each picture. I also added two more things to my list for this week – the outside of my house (standing in the middle of the street, just a full view of my house right now) and evening routine. And that will round out my 7 6×4 pictures for my PL this week. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love this idea! I take lots of everyday pictures, and I think I have a picture for each of those points from my week in the life at the end of April. I’ll definately be playing along, and can’t wait to see what everyone does! :-)
