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.

I was a little late to work this morning because I was busy icing my coconut lime cupcakes.
Today they threw a goodbye party for me at work. I was sad, even though my last day is actually Friday. But it was fun and my cupcakes went over very, very well. Over the years I've indulged in my love of baking and feeding by bringing in all kinds of exotic experiments and my coworkers have done very well by making me feel loved and talented. Soon I won't have coworkers who will eat my projects, so I wanted to make sure I was able to do this one last time. These were vegan but tasted so much better than "normal" cupcakes.
Funny story about the pan: Over the years I baked so many cupcakes I eventually went all out and bought a schmancy cupcake caddy because I was tired of having icing get all messy when they slid around in a baking pan. When I renounced sugar 6 months ago I never thought I'd bake again and threw it away. Hindsight is 20/20! So last night I had to go to the supermarket and buy one of these cheap, $3 disposable lasagna trays. Oh how we backslide in life.
