FIELD NOTE 01Watching the morning arrive
At the start of the day, a familiar room can feel entirely new. Light moves across a wall, shadows soften, and the shapes we usually pass without noticing become visible again.
A useful exercise is to stay in one place for a few minutes. Notice the color of the light, the edges of a shadow, and the sounds beyond the window. There is no need to capture everything.
FIELD NOTE 02A slower way through the neighborhood
Taking the same short walk at different times reveals how much a place changes. A side street becomes busy, a tree loses its leaves, a shop window catches the last light.
Choose one detail to remember rather than a route to finish. Sometimes the most interesting part of a walk is the moment you stop moving.
FIELD NOTE 03Leave a little room on the page
A notebook does not need to be a complete record. A sentence, a small sketch, or a list of colors can be enough to bring a moment back later.
Write what you noticed before deciding what it means. The connections often appear when you return to the page.
