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.

After a two year hiatus (maybe more) I have started going back to Xpose. I hate the gym, hate a regular routine of working out because it gets so boring, but stripperobics is so much more interesting than any other gym.
I think the website is amusing in that they claim to revive "the lost art of exotic dance." The phrase conjures up images of Aztec warriors in terrifying masks gyrating around.... pyramids?
I'm far from good and have never been graceful. But it's fun, so much fun and I love seeing women of all shapes, ages, and sizes getting down and dirty with their chairs. Walking in the front door, the instructors are just ordinary people. But once they are on stage they are transformed into goddesses, flexible divas full of catlike grace and slinky confidence.
Not that I have hopes of ever looking that good, but it is inspiring and as I said, fun.
