For week 2 of the “Project 52 Weeks”, the theme is Joy. If you missed the first blog post from last week, you can see it here: Project 52, week 1: Introductions.
For the last week, I’ve been racking my brain and trying to think of something clever for this topic. After a while, I came up with the idea of photographing Chase in midst of all his toys (trust me, he has LOTS) – toys are fun, right? So I gathered all his balls and ropes and stuffed toys, sat him down in the middle, and took a few photos. But somehow, the concept of joy didn’t really come across at all. So I thought about it a bit more – what IS joy to me?
The answer was ridiculously easy. Chase’s big smile. His furry ears that flop as he walks next to me.
A lot of the time, the simplest solution is the best one, and the little things matter most. Not to get philosophical, but while I was trying to think of ways to be clever and incorporate lots of props, I missed what was actually important and the truest interpretation of joy. So I just put Chase in front of the sunshine-yellow wall in my dining room, promised him yoghurt and liver treats, and there you go. You gotta admit, those ears are stinking cute.
