100 Days of Things a Mermaid Might Notice
The #100DayProject can easily feel like a commitment to output
— a promise to produce something every day.
I’m approaching it differently this time.
This year, my project is 100 Days of Things a Mermaid Might Notice — a photography practice rooted in attention rather than achievement. Instead of asking “what will I create?”, I’m asking “what might I notice?”
Before starting, I’m not planning 100 images. I’m preparing something softer gentle themed prompts and ideas.
Mostly, I’m preparing my mindset.
A mermaid does not rush the tide. She notices shifts in light, movement in water, fragments caught in seaweed. The small things. The overlooked things. The quiet details.
Preparation, for me, looks like permission:
Permission to miss a day.
Permission to interpret “notice” broadly.
Permission to let the project change as I change.
The goal isn’t consistency.
It’s relationship — with light, with water, with my own attention.
It’s relationship — with light, with water, with my own attention.
If you’re beginning a #100DayProject too, maybe preparation doesn’t need to be about planning 100 steps ahead. Maybe it can be about choosing a way of seeing — and trusting that the days will meet you there.
I’ll be sharing glimpses along the way.
