This year, I really wanted to go for the Project 365 properly. Five months completed- that went fast. Though not quite as fast as the video suggests. It's made with Pummelvision - addictive, I tell you.
I am always so pleased later when I look back at the little capture of days. Even if some of them are a shot of the final moments before sleep, because the day hasn't seemed too photo worthy. It's not the quality of the photographs, it's the capturing of a phase.
When I was in my twenties, I refused to own a camera. It seemed that on many days, taking pictures would put me one step removed from really experiencing what was going on around me. Funny, because now I wonder if you can only really understand the significance of what you've experienced when you look back on it.
Or perhaps that's just age talking.
I absolutely LOVED it - and I'm just about to go and view it again. It really made me smile :0) Thank you so much for sharing this. x

Ah that's brilliant! I love the way the photo changes with the beat - excellent! And well done for keeping it up - a great keepsake.

Wonderful! So enjoyable to see.

yep, that's age and wisdom talking and you're right it all whizzes by too quickly to process in real-time so it's great that you have a photo record to keep your precious memories fresh.

I so love your Pummelvision videos! I see you've started your wristwarmers--such a fab color. And I spotted the very Charley Harper puzzle I have on my Amazon Wish List!

It's fab - it made me smile a lot (and that's not always easy ;-)

It's such a lovely idea to take a photo a day. I signed up with blipfoto last year but only managed a daily post for a few months

WOW - fabulous!

It's such a fabulous idea. It's the little moments we don't tend to record.

I Pummelvisioned my 365 project from last year after you blogged about it before and I absolutely love it! Such a brilliant idea.

Love your video! I did this with my 365 photos from a couple of years ago (http://mummy-adventures.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-video-of-your-photos-using.html). Doing 365 again at the moment and can't wait to do the video :-)

Thank you for introducing me to Pummelvision!

Your photos are so beautiful Ali and capture the essence of everyday life so well.
But for some reason pummelvision makes me feel incredibly mournful - It's like watching time slipping through your fingers. Or maybe I'm just in a bit of a melancholy mood.

What a fantastic video! You've captured some great moments.
I always carry my camera with me wherever I go. Some people have told me that that means I'm just experiencing everything through a lens, instead of really living it. But I feel that using my camera has actually made me see MORE. I really appreciate the beauty in the everyday, little things that I might otherwise miss. Now I just need to compile those moments as you did!

I enjoyed my 365 last year, an amazing record of our life and all it's little moments. You have a good eye.

This is fabulous and I now want one!!! Such a gorgeous lot of pics too Ali - well done!
Posted by: Louise | 10 June 2011 at 13:08
Lovely idea. Really super effect. Thanks!

Just to let you know, Toby has become entranced with your pummelvision video - I have to keep playing it for him!

I'm still raving to friends & family about Pummelvision after you used it last year. I really want to have a go at one of these photo projects but procrastinate is my middle name. Going slightly loop-de-loop this springtime hasn't helped, perhaps I'll go for a Project 192 for the remainder of 2011?
So glad you stick with these things. They are wonderful ways to look back over memories. Inspiring stuff Ali.
