      Not sure what phone you have, on my iPhone I can press on it and it saves to photos.

    Thanks for this series! I've found it really helpful. Not sure I'll be able to watch live tomorrow, but I have a question. I'm excited to document color, but I also have a newborn and would like to document the rhythm of our days at this very particular moment in our lives. Any tips on combining the two approaches?

      Hi! Congratulations on your new baby - how awesome. Here's a suggestion for documenting the rhythm of the day with color as a side-subject: set your alarm to go off each hour of the day you are awake - when the alarm goes off write down what you are doing, take a photo, and look around to see if there is anything colorful around you when the alarm goes off. If so, snap a photo of that too.

    I love this project, though with snow still outside, I wish we were doing it a bit later in the year!

    Thank you for this series I've loved all the ideas and inspiration. The colours are just starting to change with the cooler Autumn weather. I am looking forward to documenting day in the life with this lens. I love colour.
