Your archive assignment is to look for those photos you shoot every year. A family dinner, the Christmas tree, everyone dressed up for services, a celebration, candles lit... what gets photographed every year? Look through your archives. You may want to look at photo albums. Not surprisingly, some of the holiday classics I am seeing are the same genre of holiday classics my parents photographed.
Your photo assignment is to continue the tradition with intention. Make a list of must have shots based on what you have seen as you looked through your archives. Maybe shoot a different angle on the same subject. Take detail shots of what you really want to remember. Get in closer to faces when you can.
Your journaling prompts are to tell the stories, to recollect the details photos lack- sounds, scents, what happened just before, and just after. Are any of your "holiday classics" photos also part of tradition? How did it begin?
