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.

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).

Dimples (365: 19).

6AM and only just awake (365: 17) — This picture was taken as part of a 365 days of me mini challenge to take a picture of yourself straight after waking up. Frightening isn’t it?! 2

Me And My Friend (365: 16) — I had a disastrous evening, not much time and neither of my pre-planned 365 days photographs had worked. In fact, I was feeling quite depressed, and time was running on, when the idea for this shot came to me.

A walk on the Sea Front (365: 15) — I thought it would make a change to take a photograph outside. I’m still too self-conscious to be bold and obvious when doing self-portraits, which is one excuse for the up the nose angle. 3

Running Repairs (365: 14) — This is what happens when you leave the kids in charge of the house while you go away for New Year. 3

Double trouble (365: 13) – My less serious alter ego strikes a blow for more fun in my pictures.

Waiting (365:12) – While waiting for my friends to arrive for our monthly curry evening, I fit in a quick drink and a 365 Days picture.

At My Desk (365:11) – Here I am, all ready to continue with my day’s work once I’ve got this photograph taken.

Comfort (365:10) – There are times when we all need some comfort…

Hands (365: 9).

January In The Garden (365: 8) – 14 January and warm enough to sit in the garden. 4

Late Night Movie (365: 7) – It was actually three movies, one bottle of wine and the end of the whiskey. 2

Doubly Glazed (365: 6) — Desperate shot this one. I was waiting for my lift to work and saw my distorted reflection.
