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 someone else hit the shutter for me.
My current 365 Project gallery is here!

Again I've been spotty with Dailies. I try to get out and explore and experience my new city but even if I managed to do or find something cool, I'm unable to put it into a decent frame of reference through the lens. :\
Wednesdays I have free, so off we went to explore the famous Fisherman's Wharf. I've never been there before, even in my half dozen or so visits to the city before we moved here. Even mid-week, the place was packed. I really don't care for tourists or crowds, but it was still reasonably fun. that is, until I got hungry and my feet got sore. I love that we can access most parts of the city with a simple Muni ride, living only 1/2 block from the Muni station and countless bus stops. And the weather is so often so perfect and sunny.
I was worried about getting a tan actually, but I figured that I'm just not used to being in the sun so much.
You can't tell this shot was taken at the Wharf, and maybe that's a good thing.
This is a wonderful city and I love it but I am a little homesick for my friends and family, I admit.](http://photos.smugmug.com/Portraits/365/365-ish-2008-ish/sp/496197747_5PcAC-Ti-1.jpg "schmoo > March 18, 2009

Dan and April took us on a very long hike today. Under the beating sun we walked, stumbled, tripped, and hopped across rocks for 5.62 miles to end up amongst a cluster of sinking old houses and a stinky marsh. It doesn't sound like a lot but given the terrain it was quite a trip. The birds, the bugs, the decay, slippery mud and the racing trains were a nice change from being shut indoors most of the week.
Top that off with excellent Thai food at Amarin in Mountain View and you have a pretty good day. Thanks guys, it was fantastic! :)
