COMMENTS
This is the week I figured out that I need to be taking my photos on the ROAD. I realized this on DAY 102. The flipbook I eventually want to make needs to have the same background. I started out with a background that was close to our house and covered in snow. When the snow melted, I realized it was not a back drop that I could use. It is big huge bummer, but once I found the road, I knew that was the location. It is going to be a much better final 365 day composition. What a painful realization.

COMMENTS
I am almost at the 100 day mark for this adventure. Too bad, I won’t be able to use the images in the final product because I did not understand how dramatically my background would change when the snow melted. That is what I get for starting a documentation project in the dead of winter.

COMMENTS
This week is a re-enactment week. In reality at the the beginning of this week, I was Florida. On the beach of Fort Lauderdale. I am struggling with how to be accurate in my documentation while I travel. But there is also a part of me that wants these things to be a constant—I document the clothing in the order that I wore it and in the exact same location every day. I have my reasons for doing that will be a part of the big TADA if I ever get there.

I have done three of these posts in three days. I am trying really hard to catch up. In real world time, it is actually WEEK 16, not WEEK 7. I have finally gotten a good system down, but in order for it to work, I need to catch up. This is the week after the week in California. I notice three things. I am kind of slob, which I know is related to travel recovery. I really want to warm clothes like I did in California. And the lightening is incredibly unpredictable this time of the year.

This is the first travel experience. I had to resort to some selfies which I am not that get at. The fun thing was that California meant I got to wear warm weather clothing which is always fun for a Northerner. I love California.

COMMENTS
It is great to get some new clothes into the rotation. This week, I actually felt like my clothing made sense. I even repeated several pieces, but they look different paired with other garments. Things are coming together. I am kind of amazed at how different I can look day to day. If you want to follow the action day by day you can Instagram @talesofastitcher.
