I have loved looking through the lovely photos of A Year of Mornings.
I love the story behind the book.
I love the collaboration and the outcome is stunning and simple.
I thought I would give it a try myself.
The result was MY mornings and the early hours through my eyes.
I put my camera next to my bed so I wouldn't forget!
I captured three mornings.
None of the photos have been edited so you can see the natural light.
It was such a fun experience and really helped me look at our home, light and mornings with a new perspective.
What do your mornings look like?
I love photographing and chronicling mornings. I did participate in a group about Beautiful Sundays and mine were always in the mornings. Maybe we can start a small group where, people take shots of their mornings once a week (or more) and share the why of the picture. Do you think that seems fun? Then create journals or an Apple book using the pictures. I'm rambling...too tired and too much wine...Anway - I'd love to work on something like that!

Beautiful images of your morning, Jeanne. Love that morning light in your shots. It's like photographic poetry, don't you think?

Oh, I love these photographs and this idea! You should do this once a week & (as mentioned above) begin a group. Soft morning light is just pure loveliness. Love this post. :)

mine look a lot like yours... except that the laptop and coffee will be seen on the front porch...
beautiful photos "log"... think I'll have to try this myself!

Your photos are beautiful.... I like this idea and may try it later this week. (Oh, my, it's Thursday already, isn't it?) Okay, one day soon. I love morning light, so this is a great excuse to take pictures first thing one morning!

You have lovely mornings. I have to be honest. My mornings are pretty ugly.

What a great post and I love your photos as well as Jackie's idea! I don't think my morning pictures would be as lovely as yours, I'm usually running around like a maniac!

totally cool idea! my mornings are spent sitting on the back steps waiting for oscar to go poop. Yes, a very glamourous life I lead! But my morning always includes a pot, yes a POT of coffee! (with coconut creamer)
Posted by: Lissa | July 16, 2009 at 09:17 AM
I've thought of doing this... maybe I will!

Beautiful pics. My morning looks scary...if I view myself in the mirror that is:)

wish my mornings looked like yours....
Posted by: kasey | July 16, 2009 at 01:15 PM
Lovely mornings! I think I will do this. I love the idea of looking at things in a new light and since my eyes are barely open for the first hour I'm awake, this 'otta be interesting. Thanks for the inspiriation.

I enjoyed your photos; morning light is lovely to capture. I will watch for it tomorrow...around here:)

Posted by: Lori | July 16, 2009 at 02:19 PM
what a fun idea. love how your's turned out. They looks so romantic and thoughtful. Mine - not so much ;) But, if I take photos perhaps I will look at it differently. Thanks for the pretty shots & idea :)
Posted by: Alyssa | July 16, 2009 at 02:41 PM
very cool! I love the idea and your take on your photos. :o)
Posted by: Sara Duckett | July 16, 2009 at 03:51 PM
agreed - my mornings are typically frantic - as i'm not a morning person. but - what a great challenge this is, as i can really slow it down and try to see the beauty in it....!
THANK YOU for this post!
