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 had a whole bunch of ideas for my SP today but once I got home and found a box of borrowed lenses (for my trip) on my doorstep all those ideas went out the window. Woop woop!
I took this Sigma 8mm fisheye to Japan last fall and I loved it. It's such a cool, fun little lens and I can tell we're gonna have a great time in Utrecht and Scotland. I think it is going onto my "need more toys" list, yanno, after I get all the other glass that I want.
(I know this shot is kind of scary. I think it makes me look frighteningly like Susy from Calvin & Hobbes!)
