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.

Road trip up the coast with Andy, Ian and Nick! What a great day. I forced myself to not work this morning and instead caught up with school, then we had a leisurely scenic drive up the Pacific in Andy's convertible. It was great, even though I got a little sun/wind burn on my face.
We threaded our way through golden hills and twisty, misty mountain roads, colorful little towns with great coffee shops and dappled redwood forests. The forests smelled so good, I just closed my eyes and inhaled the earthy rush. Looking up through the canyon of dark green reminded me of being a kid again, lying down in the back of my parents' car and watching the treetops fly by.
This shot was taken in the old lighthouse at Point Reyes. I was running out of ideas for SPs but the chair in the corner was perfectly lit. Ian shot me shooting myself, and I didn't know until afterwards that Andy was stuck to the window. I had a really good laugh after the fact! Whatta freak. :D
