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!

I always forget to reset the time zone on my cameras. Anyway, today I had to work but in the afternoon Trav, Shiz, Kevin and I went out to the Emerald Bay area to scout. The sunset was so beautiful, even though it didn't make for good photos. The mountains around us were too tall to produce too much in the way of great shots down where we were (Eagle Falls) but I couldn't help but look up at the rocky crags and remember a perfect day not all that long ago when the sun was kissing the tops of the peaks in Zion National Park.
That alone gave me a sense of peace and familiarity.
I've lost my landscape mojo, but it was great to be out. I love this company, and my company, but stepping away from the indoors was really necessary for a short time.
