I thought one of the ideas behind the 365 days project was to help people get to know themselves. This poses a problem when you find you don’t like the person you’ve come to know.

A major re-evaluation is required, as I’m not sure I can spend another 322 days photographing this person.

Following that confession, the conversation with other Flickr members doing the 365 days project went back and forth for a while, after which I concluded:

You are right. Like ourselves or not, we’ve got to learn to accept ourselves, or make some life changing decisions.

The guy I’m taking pictures of has lost his sense of fun, become boring, lost his passion and is just going through the motions. That’s what I’m seeing in my pictures. Now I’ve got to work out, do I want to change him and if so, how?

Oh boy, was I in for a shock …

Future Gary says …

I don’t like the original shot I picked for today, so I’ve switched it. Here’s the original picture.

And this is the text that went with the picture above.

I need to be busy today, so this is to get my picture out of the way. I promise to stop playing with negative space soon.

These tiles are a colour to die for. I must try and get a macro shot sometime that does them justice.

The stupid thing was, my first job after taking this picture was to clean the shower, at least the glass is now clean enough for a standard shower shot.
