Week 4: Final Reflection

In my opinion this photography project helped me to become more creative, because I had to take pictures on a regular basis and the more days passed by, the deeper I had to think about what to take pictures of and became more aware of what I am grateful for, for example the beautiful nature in my backyard or in the park. The most difficult part in this project for me was to take pictures regularly, and sometimes I just simply forgot it. The most valuable part was all the things I realized that I am grateful for through searching for picture motifs. Yes, I would recommend this project to other students, and even though it is a lot of work to have your own blog, it rewards you. I think another theme for a project like this could be to just focus on different kinds of nature, because in my opinion nature is very important and beautiful and we can learn a lot from it.

Day 18: Sunset


I love watching sunsets, they are so calming and beautiful.

Week 3: Reflection

During the 3rd week of our photo project I did not feel that different as I did after the second or first week, this project is now more a daily routine that I got used to. It is getting harder each day to find something that I am grateful for, I have to put lots of thoughts into it.

Day 12: Fire place


Our fire place is very cosy, I love sitting during the winter time in front of it and just read a good book or watch TV.

Week 2: Reflection

The second week of our 20 one grateful project kept me looking for things that I am grateful for, it got harder to think about things that I am grateful for. But taking pictures every day and looking for good objects throughout the day makes me be more aware of the world that I live in, and that is very good and helpful.

Day 11: Piano


I really like playing the piano, I started taking a piano class last year. Learning songs and playing them in front of people gives me confidence.

Day 10: Dance


Ballet is my passion, I have been dancing for over 10 years now, and I love it. You can express your soul while you are dancing and it is so much fun, but also lots of hard work.

Day 9: Sleep


I am grateful to have a nice bed that I can sleep in, because I know that there are countries where many people can not afford one.

Day 8: Reading Time


Gossip Girl is one of my favorite book series right now. After the TV show was over, I started reading them, and although they are very different from the show, they are addicting. I love sitting down and relaxing with a good book.

Week One: Reflection

During the last few days I noticed a difference in my photography, I think that is so because I started to take pictures of things that mean something to me and not just of random objects. I also noticed how many things and persons I can be grateful for, and how blessed I am. I have wonderful people in my life, I just had to realize it.

Day 5: Comfort



My favorite seat in our living room, I love to read or just watch TV while sitting in it. This seat makes me feel at home, and it is right next to the fire place which is perfect during the winter.
