January « 2011 « Nicole Ishida Photography

I’m still working on my final “look back at 2010” post. So far I’ve shared favorites from the places I’ve been and the things I’ve seen. Next up I’ll share some 2010 photos of the people I love, but in the meantime I thought I’d stop by to share my favourite face(s) of 2010 for the latest I heart faces challenge.

I didn’t have to go far back to choose this photo. I took it on a train while we were on our way to Narita airport after a wonderful vacation in Japan. I just love the pure joy that you can see in their faces and this is the image I try to bring up in my mind every time they fight and cry and complain. We are blessed to have such happy children (for the most part) and I think this photo is the perfect reminder.

Part two of quest to share some of my favourite photos from 2010. You can see part one: the places I’ve been here.

Looking through my favourite photos for “the things I’ve seen” has been a great reminder that I need to take more photos of the everyday. Perhaps it was due to the amount of travel that we did, or the fact that I quit project 365 after just a few months, but I found that I wasn’t very good about documenting our day-to-day lives this year. Definitely something I plan to focus on in 2011.
