I have been documenting my dogs life HERE for the past 8 1/2 years with monthly galleries of his experiences and his adventures. It's forced me to seek out things to do with him so the photos aren't lame every month. He has no idea, but he's allowed me to experiment and become a better photographer as a result. Sometimes he gets extra treats for this. I have resisted, on the other hand, trying to document every living second of my 2 yr old daughters life. I still take loads of photos, but the concept of documenting over experiencing moments is something I am constantly aware of. Especially in this day of never-ending image taking devices and platforms to publish images (like this blog) Rather, its sometimes nice to seek out the stuff that we never really think about taking pictures of or remembering..even though they are integral to all our daily experiences. I like to call it the "in between" stuff.
