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.

A quiet, solitary moment at the Daily Grind. Cutting back on caffeine isn't the most fun in the world, but Harney & Sons make a very fine peppermint tea that is so warming on a chilly January morning. After a week of rain, ice, and mush, the day dawned crystal clear with the bluest skies imaginable. Taking advantage of it, I grabbed a book and went to the coffee shop to unwind before running a few errands and going to work.
I've never read Little Women before. I picked up this copy for $4 at a shop when I was in New Orleans last fall and I can see why this book is, while obviously quite dated, still timeless.
Add to that a squishy, sweet banana and you have a decent morning. The rest of the day/week has not been so good, but you keep the positive things in the forefront.
One of the things I love about Baltimore is Fells Point early in the morning. The restaurants and pubs are sleepy and prepping for a busy night, the seagulls are energetic and happy and the light plays off the water like an urban crystal. Everything looks fresh and new, ready for the nightlife that Fells is so famous for.
I miss it already, that and all of the great times I've had here with so many different friends over the last 11 years. Some are still here, some are gone, some I don't even remember and some I think about and wish I could find where they were.
