Lots of fun photos will be taken on New Year’s Eve, but here’s an idea that involves something more.

Gather your loved ones for a group photo (or you  could do this individually, too). Each person holds an object representing one thing that happened in their life in 2011. It could be a diploma for the graduate, a new pet, a cast for that arm that got broken, and so on.

Take the photo and immediately you have created history! Take one each year, and before you know it, you will have created a visual story covering many years with your loved ones! It’s a great thing to do, and gives you something to look back upon year after year. It’s such a simple thing to do, takes hardly any time at all,  and can be a very meaningful project!

Have fun, and Happy New Year!
