[the project]

Sun Aug 2, 2009, 11:36 PM
I have decided to challenge myself. I'm going to take a one picture of myself - once a day, every day, for an entire year. I am too used to being behind my camera, and never in front of it. I want to teach myself to be comfortable with photography in every way, even if that means being on the other side of it.

Another reason I want to do this project, is that I feel that I am not very skilled at taking self portraits, or even being creative. I think that if I force myself to take a picture of myself every day for an entire year, I will not only improve as a photographer, but become more open and creative with my photos. I will be forced to come up with something new every single day for an entire year - I'll HAVE to be creative.

And as a final reason as to why I'm doing this, well, lets just say I am one of the most unmotivated people you will ever meet. If I can do this project (with everyone's help and encouragement), I feel that I'll be able to make a lot of improvements on myself and my life.

So here I go:

A change of scenery seems like a good idea right about now. I like your idea.

Thanks for watching me, but I can't promise anything spectacular anytime soon.
