365 Days

365 Days – a project to take a self portrait every day for a year. The rules are simple. I must be visible in the picture, and I must take the picture.

I’m with Stoopid (365: 44) — Okay, it’s official. I’m stupid. I left my house keys at work and found myself locked out. So, I went for a beer and a curry while I waited for Elaine to come home and let me in.

Waking Up (365: 42).

Essential Maintenance (365: 41) — I had a much more serious pic. but opted for the more light-hearted again.

Planted Reflection (365: 40) — My 365 Days set takes itself far too seriously, so this had to be my choice for today. Taken at the end of a business trip to Leeds.

I Love my Camera (365: 39) — My Valentine.

Waistcoat (365: 38) — My other shot was so negative I had to go with this one or give up.

Something Traditional (365: 37) — Something traditional = No imagination today.

Sunday Reading (365: 36) — I like the shadow at the top of the frame, I noticed it before I started taking the shot and wanted to include it.

Don’t Look Now (365: 35) – At the very last moment I’ve decided that this is my photo for today.

Resting (365: 34) – I haven’t got any enthusiasm for photography right now. I’ll get this over and done with for the day, and go back to sleep

Sneeze (365: 33) – In the last few days I’ve been coming down with a cold, and taking these self portraits has become a bit of a pain. This picture is awful, the alternate is slightly better, but this one sums up how I feel. 1   2

The Red Dress (365: 32) – For my final foray into the Copycat mini-challenge, this was going to be ‘The Red Shorts’ but then I thought I’d go one better… 1

Deliberate (365: 31) – Or if you prefer. ‘Red tie at night…’ Re-edit. I typically had one hour to grab and process a picture each day. So many of the shots and much of the processing were hurried. 2

I’m really not Amber or Cherron (365: 30) — Copycat of a copycat. I just couldn’t resist the copycat mini-challenge, especially when the wig mini-challenge surfaced on the same day. Two posts, one photo, result. The wig, strangely enough, is mine.

February Sunbathing (365: 28) -After a long walk to the shops and back via the in-laws, it was time to sit in the garden and enjoy the sun. It wasn’t long before I decided it was warm enough to disrobe.

Foot of the Stairs (365: 27) — I discovered that after you’ve taken several ‘yards’ of feet pictures, as I did to take this photograph; feet start to look a bit odd. When I was a kid, I hated exposing my feet, I’d sit on the beach with my socks on. No longer.

Looking Up – But I’m Not (365: 26) — Another desperate last-minute picture. I leave myself so little time to take these pictures that it all gets quite a rush.

Portrait by Candlelight (365: 25).

Lunch in the Office (365: 24).

Eyes (365: 23) — None of the pictures I took today really worked.

Old Fossil (365: 22) – Based on the November 2006 National Geographic cover.

This is me — like it or not (365: 21). I’m fairly comfortable with my body, and I’m trying to learn to accept the changes that come with age, but there are always things one would like to change.

Proof that British men do know how to use a bidet (365: 20).
