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 SP for today turned out really horribly even though I had a preconceived idea and even a location in mind. Instead of being depressed about that one, I'm just pulling an older shot from a couple of weeks ago. When I was in Scotland I did take some SPs, even though I never got the chance to process and post them. This one was from May 18 (I think!) when we were shooting all afternoon along one of the perfect blue and white beaches along the coast. There were some big cliffs there, and I had to have some fun with my shadow.
I miss it. The weather, the country, the carefree attitude and no obligations.
