One Year in 40 seconds -- life in snapshots

One Year in 40 seconds by eirikso.com

I wanted to do something like this for years, but it is one thing wanting, and another is actually doing it. Amazing in its simplicity; the feeling of wonder it creates.

Katya, the protagonist of the novel I just finished writing, takes hundreds of photos a day, documenting the mundane of her life. She drinks her tea, she takes a photo of the mug. She goes to the bathroom, she takes a photo of the empty toilet paper roll. She focuses on the lines and forms, on the colours and shapes.

I met a woman once who was taking daily pictures of the sky. I also met a woman who wanted to take photos of the sky, but never did.
