Pensive. It’s taking a fair bit of digging to discover why I have this picture. It turned out that I’d planned a 365 days picture — but it went wrong. This was my ‘safety shot.’
Self Portrait
Pictures of me, taken by myself. I tend to go with the official (365 Days) definition of a self portrait: “A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you” … “The main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject.”
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.

Split Personality — The three most obvious sides of myself: 1. At work. 2. Out socially, 3. Home.

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 in the Garden — After weeks of high winds the back garden fence was in need of some TLC. A few screws did the job. It is not easy standing on a ladder holding a drill and taking a picture at the same time.

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…

Stretch. I took this for the Week 11 project for the “What do you want” group. Then I re-read the brief and I wasn’t sure if it met the requirements.

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.

Breakfast (365: 5) – 06:30, and breakfast – It took me two days to get this one

You Hoo! (365: 4) – Future Gary says: A truly awful picture that might have been improved by clean glasses and more depth of field.

Morning Shower (365: 3) – The camera only has a 10-second self-timer, so I had to take a load of test shots the day before so that I could get the shot right. I have to get to work, so time is tight.

Trim (365: 2) – A once a week task to stop my beard becoming unruly.

Dressed Rehearsal – I’m not going to have much time to get my shower shot, so I need to see if it will work in advance.

Quick Pic (365: 1) – A quick picture for the first day. I just love the light in the bathroom, and the mirror comes in very handy for seeing the picture on the camera’s display.

Sailing on the River Thurne, Norfolk Broads. This could be August 1999. It could be 2000, or later…
