Hi there everyone! It's Amy here today and I hope that you have had a terrific weekend! If you were in the path of Hurricane Irene, as I was, I hope that you weathered it well and were able to keep safe!
Today's challenge is about everyday travel. I don't know about you, but during an average day, I spend a lot of time in my car taking my kids from here to there, commuting in traffic, and just daily errands. With the recent release of Boarding Pass, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to record these unglamorous, sometimes forgotten, many hours of our daily lives.
For my project, I decided to document my husband's daily commute routine which includes car, train and walking travel to get to his work, totalling 4 hours of commute time each day. It's exhaustive and it's a major part of his and our lives. I love how Boarding Pass has all the elements for all types of leisure travel, but also fits for commuter travel as well. Because let's face it, most of us have to deal with a commute of some type at different points in our lives. Wouldn't this be the perfect opporunity to document it? This is where Vivian's awesome page comes in. She took a completely different take on the challenge of everyday travel by taking a retorspective look throughout her life thus far.
Not many of us think to take photos of our everyday transportation (I know I don't). Vivian did a fantastic job of showing us that even a photoless page can be just as expressive of a story as as one with amazing pictures.
I love what she had to say about her page: "It's definitely the most bizarre layout I've ever done, but kind of fun, too. ". I agree, Vivian! It's definitely, FUN!! And a great documentation of where she's been and how she got there! I LOVE it!
So what do you think? How do you travel each day? Do you take a train? Do fly frequently for work? Or like many of us are you a Mom-taxi? Why don't you give this challenge a go, and let us see how you travel each day! Then make sure to upload your project to our Flickr Gallery so we can all see your wonderful work!
