Everyday, until she turns 50, she is going to try these jeans on and photograph herself. By the time she has actually reached the day, it will be too damn hot to wear them anyway, but it is about the hurdles and the journey, not necessarily the gold medal at the end. Right now they are slightly snug, particularly in the thighs. She isn't sure that will get better, as she reintroduced herself to the weights at the gym today, working especially hard to rebuild strength in her legs.
Still, everyday she will stand in front of this mirror, hoping the piano bench she is standing on holds up for the whole fifty days, and take a photograph of herself in these jeans. She is a visual person, so the camera as the tool for transformation suits her well. She also always needs a project, angles and light to figure out, everyday a chance to get it just a little bit better.
