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.

Trav and I both work downtown, but we hardly ever take advantage of this by meeting for lunch. Since I have only a week left at my job* before I start working from home, today was one of the few.
I know that I was greatly enjoying my iced tea. I also know that I have a very grim future as a portrait photographer because I suddenly wanted to include him, but had no creative prompt for him as a model. "Do... math and stuff!" popped out of my mouth. WTF? But being the nice guy he is, he obliged.
I'm surprised the shot is only slightly tilted because we were laughing so hard.
No one makes me laugh as much he does, that's for sure!
(* I just moved into a new office when I got back from Scotland. Corner office! With a window! I'm going to miss it but it's nice while it lasts.)
