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.

At the end of the evening (365:170) – UK June 2011 – Day 5. A late night family picture of the stragglers.

UK June 2011 – Day 4. Gary and Ginger braving in the wind outside Southsea Castle.

An evening with Mick (365:168) – UK June 2011 – Day 3. To be more precise a whole day with Mick. 2 pictures

Lego (365:167) UK June 2011 – Day 2. Here I am once more in the land where the plural of Lego is what it should be – Lego.

Layover at Chicago (365:166) – UK Vacation – Day 1. The day was going well until I checked on my camera. Two-minute read

Packed and ready to go (365:165) – I had a busy day processing pictures.

A new camera doesn’t mean more creativity, yet. Let’s hope once I’ve started to master it the creative juices will commence flowing. Just one more day until we get on the ‘plane and head to the UK. I’ve not really thought about how I’ll keep my 365 Days postings going while we’re away. We’ll have to see. Today’s extras

Campfire (365:163) – Today we drove to St Louis to drop the girls off with their father for a few weeks in Chicago while we cross the Atlantic and spend some time in the UK. Alek is staying at home to work and hopefully not burn the house down in our absence.

New Toy (365:162) — Today was a big shopping day. After leaving my decision to buy a new camera to percolate overnight, this morning we went to the camera shop and dished out the dosh.

Waiting and Writing. Sitting waiting in the car is one of the few places and times I get a chance to stop and think. 2

Geek Glasses (365:160) — While Lanie’s away we’ll go have a double dip cone with the big kids and steal their glasses for a photo opportunity.

Vodka, tonic, and Indiana Jones. That’s just what was needed to relax at the end of a stress-filled day.

Shopping Day (365:158)

My legs and two cats (356:157) – Carefully framed to remain family friendly, and no, there are no outtakes.

Wall + Gary = Today’s picture (365:156)

Van Repairs (365:154) – A few days ago the van’s AC went on the blink again. This time it’s jammed on, which is better than it not working at all. It blows air even when the fan’s turned off. 2 pictures

Enough! (365:153) – Keeping this project going is becoming a chore and is taking up too much of my time.

Pumping Gas (365:152) – Is no longer a gas. In fact, it’s darned expensive, even though the price has now dropped back slightly to $3.53 a gallon.

New Gloves (365:161) — I guess there’s no need to explain why.

Waking up (365:150) – For once we didn’t hang around too long drinking coffee and eating breakfast, though it was still ten am before we were back on the trail. Two-minute read, 7 pictures

Lunch by the bluffs on Long Creek (365:149). Two-minute read, 8 pictures

Just before I stuck my head in the falls behind me (365:148) – Invigorating was one word for it. Three-minute read, +9
