month in objects: July

lush spa: because sometimes you need to cash in a gift certificate and #TreatYoSelf to a fancy schmancy massage / photos: because analogue cameras and long walks over the q'boro are my jam / shell: because solo day trips to the beach are oh so necessary / library receipt: because I've rediscovered my love of libraries and I want to shout it from the rooftops / burnside flag: because getting a table at one of astoria's hottest new restaurants is reason enough to celebrate / flashlight: because my trusty light finally kicked the bucket but that didn't stop me from carrying it in my back pocket every night / inside out: because it is one of life's little pleasures to sit in a darkened movie theater on a hot and hazy tuesday afternoon and let the tears roll down your face because the new pixar movie is just that darn good / binder tabs: because it's time to get serious about the wedding binder / tennis ball: because ball + wall = diy back massage

month in objects is my documentation system for 2015 - each month I create and photograph a collage of items that represent that month - and then toss most of the actual items in the trash. By the end of the year, I'll have 12 photographs and (hopefully) a lot less clutter. read january's story and the origin of this project here. want to see previous months? february / march / april / may / june
