365 self portraits. Can I actually do it? Inspired by many others, I decided to give my creativity a kick in the pants with a Daily Photo project. With life happening too fast, quite often I lose the spark that drives me to pick up the camera. Hopefully I can maintain not only this project, but the ability to develop more as a photographer. Ideally, the majority of these will be self-portraits to help me get over my image complex and to document the most important, memorable moments of each day.
My rules:
1. At least part of myself in each shot. Every 24 hours.
2. EXIF data pulls rank. I travel and can't always upload on a timely matter, but the timestamp is as the timestamp does...
3. Try to document the dominant activity/event of the day. This is a journal-type project for me, too.
4. Having help is OK. While I always set up the shot myself, occasionally the location requires having my husband or a friend hit the shutter for me, or just stand there so my camera isn't sitting in the middle of the street unprotected.

I got a new bike! I'm so happy with it because I haven't ridden a bicycle in 15 years (at least, maybe more like 25?) and it's been something I've been putting off. I had to re-learn everything but it's been pretty fun - mostly because I haven't fallen off yet. I did run into a wall once, however, and a lot of people had a good time watching me laugh my arse off.
We also went on a hike at Piney Run Park with Annie and Jimmy this afternoon, but I've been pretty scatterbrained lately and forgot my camera. The dogs had a wonderful time and the weather is perfect for being outdoors. Lately I've really been wanting to get off my butt and be outside.
If this weather holds out I am going to really enjoy biking around my lovely neighborhood. It's something I've put off much, much too long. When I get conditioned maybe going down for a cup of tea and a hummus sammich at the Bean Hollow in old Ellicott City isn't out of the question. ;)
