Time, time time...

What can I say!? I don't have enough of it!
Time is a funky thing - you know it's there -you record it or just acknowledge it, try to speed it up or slow it down, re-wind, fast-forward...time, time, time.
Our first project is all about paying attention to something specific at a specific moment of time for 7 days. Wow - could be anything!
I initially wanted to take pictures outside of my room on the balconey in the early morning - you know, sunrise, construction work, mist...would have been great except I could never wake up that early and my roomate would have killed me for all the noise I made. So Plan B.
There is one thing that changes constantly depending on how busy I am, what time of day it is, so many things - that thing is my bed. My bed becomes my dumping ground during the day - clothes, books, bags, it all ends up on my bed. So at 4pm every day for 7 days, I took a photo of my bed as it was.
It was a pretty humbling experience: I seem to be a pretty messy person! After doing this project I'm kindof convicted to make some lifestyle changes!
Fascinating thing time is. This project was a good reminder that every moment is significant. No matter what is going on, how hectic things are, what you can't wait for or what you wish you could take back, every moment is special because you'll never get that moment back!
The pictures of my bed show that no two 4pm moments were ever the same - some days worse than others:), but each one unique.
So there - make every moment count!
(and try to keep your room clean...)
