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.

This weekend has been all about catching up. Today my mom-in-law is in town so we had brunch at the Paper Moon Diner, an absolute staple for anyone in the Baltimore area. I have more memories from the Paper Moon than almost anywhere else in the world. So many late nights, so many overpriced, weak cups of coffee drank here when I should be asleep, in class, studying in my room, wearing more clothes, less makeup, in more polite company, etc etc.
But I wouldn't trade a moment of those times for the world. I learned so much in and around this place, as did thousands of other students and Baltimore residents like myself.
The place has undergone many transformations over the years. When I first came to Baltimore visiting my sister when she was an undergraduate, the biggest worry was food poisoning and roaches. These days the Moon is quite trashy chic and tragically artsy. The prices reflect it, too, but their hummus and sprouts are still good.
I kind of miss the old place. And I kind of miss those old friends. I know they're still around but we're all part of completely different worlds. Maybe it's better not to talk.
How far we've all come. As they say 'round these parts: "See U @ the Moon"
