Day 253: An extra catch-up

On the highway, at 6.12pm

Day 253 (16 Aug) Friday. An unexpected day at work, but useful to get those extra things done. There might be time to get back for a seminar...or just go with the usual beer and pizza...

Breakfast reading and
working, at 6.12am

Breakfast at 6.12am is a combination of eating, reading, catching up with yesterday's news...then of to work with a colleague.

No matter how hard one tries to hide in an office with a closed door...people find out you are there and so the day goes.

In the end, the seminar will be bypassed to go directly to the usual beer and pizza, that's the sort of day it has been. The pic at 6.12pm, on the highway, I hasten to add, is not taken by me but by my passenger...lots of traffic heading north for the weekend.

Tomorrow is another day.

What am I doing?

Twelvepastsix, or 6.12, is an experiment in observation. I've long been fascinated by patterns in numbers, patterns in life. The 'SevenUp' series is perhaps one of my favourite documentaries. I'm fascinated and inspired in equal parts by the history captured in this style. The project 365 which I have discovered through Twitter, allows me, I think, a way to capture my experiment, on a much smaller scale.

My thinking was originally centred on choosing a time each day, the same time, to observe and understand behaviours in a small way. I toyed with a few ideas but decided on 6.12am/pm, for reasons set out in the first post: 6 December 2012, naturally.

The project will double as a brief journal of each day's events as well, to capture the small detail in its larger context. At year's end, I will be interested to see, just to what extent our days can be as habitual or as extraordinary as we recall.

The 'rule' is reasonably simple: I take a photo of whatever I am doing at 6.12, only the timezone may change depending on circumstances (where photography might be discouraged, forbidden or banned, for example). Most days should have two photos; most days should exist, notwithstanding crossings of the international dateline.

Finally, while this blog is inspired by community of presenters, producers, listeners and tweepsters of Brisbane radio station 612ABC, it is not endorsed by, or in any other way, affiliated with them.

Enjoy, and perhaps think...if only I'd captured 'that' moment.
