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 miss my mom. We have a lilac bush in our yard which blooms each spring and fills the entire area with its lovely scent. My mother loves the smell of lilac and it always reminds me of her. When I was growing up we had a huge lilac bush in our yard and to me the smell of these fresh purple and white blooms is linked with the colorful hazy, lazy summer sunset.
We're so busy these days and I feel terrible that traveling only 3 states away is outside of our immediate grasp. I know we'll see my parents soon, but it's never soon enough.
