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.

May, uh... 20th? 2008
I'm really losing track of the days. Every day is shooting, thinking, brain grinding, creative constipation. The weather this whole week has been relatively uncooperative, not wet enough to be dramatic and not fair enough to be beautiful. What luck!
Today we went on a walk to a castle - yes, one of many in this country. Although there was not a whole lot to see along that stretch of road and the accompanying beach, I felt my gears turning. I loved it. This particular stretch of beach was just fun, and since Andy got the idea of composite images in my head from last night's shoot, I thought I'd try one of these fun multi-me shots. Here I am looking for the light.
