As far as the project was running, it was kind of difficult to keep it up with the initial idea I had in mind. I decided to slightly bend the criteria I placed for myself and I’m sure it was for the better. No comments, likes were pretty low, and follows were also low. I did get some random likes off of having popular tags.

[Soldiers in Life] Portraits of Texas Army National Guard Soldiers (TXARNG) in our lives. TXARNG Soldiers are first responders on a State level emergency like a natural disaster or border control, but they are in everywhere around us. They sacrifice themselves to serve the nation. . . . . #pnm3379 #instagramproject3379 #soldiersinlife #nationalguards #photography #photo #project #army #soldier #heroes #texas #follow #proud https://www.instagram.com/p/B80KbnhA7Yl/?igshid=1lkgb34nffp46

I will likely continue this project because it provides subjects to practice different lighting and staging techniques.

My great aunt and uncle had a large lot behind their home in town where they grew some crops. It was big enough my uncle tilled it with tractor. One day when we went over to visit, he gave me this little porcelain figure he uncovered while tilling. I was about four years old. #pnm3379 #instagramproject3379 #possessions #figurine #found #antique #porcelain #collectibles #nostalgia #texas #urbanarchaeology https://www.instagram.com/p/BulrSIFnsW9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjrf1tdpspmx

Positivity. Something people often lose, something that comes last in our days, something that is forgotten. So many people get wrapped up on all the things that go wrong that they forget all that went right or even all that showed light in their day. I want to capture some light in my days and positive moments that uplift my spirits through this project. Just a reminder that the glass is always half full.

This post did attract as many likes although I did gain more followers by the time it was posted. I believe it was because of the time of day. It was posted on a Tuesday afternoon right after lunch time.
