I am taking a photo of August sitting in our Eames rocking chair and wearing his pin each month until he’s two years old. I will continue the photo project after he turns two, but I will then be taking yearly photos instead. I also took monthly photos of his older sister, Eleanor.
I chose to photograph August in the same setting, our library, for a sense of scale. I am dressing him in a white onesie for the first year (purchased in several sizes ahead of time) for continuity and to keep visual distractions to a minimum. I made a felt pin for August, just like I had done for Eleanor, and the center can be changed each month with a new numbered pin.
