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 finally got my 8-stop ND filter delivered in time for Scotland so I thought I'd test it out. This was a particularly well-timed idea: I have not been feeling particularly photogenic lately. I never do (hence the exercise of the 365 project) but I've been feeling like hiding and smudging myself, anyway.
I look very odd as a ghost! Maybe next time I'll try to set the camera more square to the wall so it doesn't look as though I'm falling downhill.
