Ordinary to Extraordinary

Category: Ordinary to ExtraordinaryMicheline @ 10:22 pm

What once was so fresh and exciting has become ordinary… The repetitive work, responsibilities and duties of everyday life can, I find, sometimes steal the beauty.

I am not sure why I would ever want to set myself up for another project – LOL!!! Yet, the idea doesn’t seem to want to leave my head… maybe not an idea… more like an inspiration? I want to try for one month from March 1st until March 31st to find the ordinary extraordinary.  That is, look at life differently when I get up in the morning and search for the treasure. I honestly have no idea what form that treasure will take each day. It was there when I was a child – it must still exist now. I want to capture it with my heart but also being a visual person I want to capture it with my camera. So here begins a daily series of photos of my extraordinary ordinary life. HA!

I can’t promise you how this will look, what time of day it will post or whether it will even be interesting to anyone other than myself but I thought I would share it anyway – after all isn’t this what a blog is for? Well… maybe a business blog isn’t supposed to be for this type of thing but at least it still includes photography. :}

Until tomorrow,

Micheline Ryckman

P.S. An apology in advance – we have moved into a rural area in Creston, BC and sometimes our internet isn’t always entirely reliable so if I miss a day it probably is my internet connection… please bear with me!

P.S.S. Oh also… I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the comments to work properly here on this blog so I will post these daily thoughts and images in an album on my facebook site as well – if any one out there wants to comment…
