Tomorrow is the first day of August and I’ve decided to take The August Break. Susannah Conway, photographer and writer extraordinaire, needed a break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging and decided to host one month of sharing a photo per day on her blog and she’s invited us to join her. Here’s her explanation:
Here’s the plan for the August break: you simply share one photo per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you want. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, 35mm, video – with or without words – anything goes – for the whole of August. No pressure - just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer…
There are NO RULES! Just sunshine (hopefully) and a bit of fun. And lots of lovely photos to look at.

With my new Story Circle Network group starting to rev up, I need to spend more time writing, and reading and writing memoir. I’ll report how that’s going in September; almost like a “How I Spent My Summer” paper required in school. In the meantime, I’m excited about exploring photography more and look forward to posting the results here several times each week. Who knows, maybe I’ll throw in a poem now and then!
If you’re interested in joining us in this August Break, please check out Susannah Conway’s blog and let me know here in the Comments if you do join. I’d love to stop over and see the photos you’ve taken!
