A year in my life
In 2008 I will try something new: documenting myself each day. I will do this by taking a self portrait each day and posting it to my A year in my life – 2008 set.
I have seen several people create so-called 365 day projects”. The first was Matt Haughey whose goal was simply to take a picture each day. Matt has since embarked on a much more ambitious project. On flickr I have seen several people partake in “365 day projects:http://www.flickr.com/groups/365days/ where they take a self portrait each day. However, it took my discovery of the ever awesome macaddict, who is already on his second 365 days, to get my inspirational juices flowing.
Since 2008 is a leap year, and I wanted to cronicle the year, I couldn’t really make a 365 day project. Therefore, my 366 day project is named A year in my life, and started today with the first day of 2008.
The rules I have set up for myself are very simple. I take one self portrait each day and upload it to flickr. The picture must be a self portrait, and it must be taken on the day it is uploaded. I am sure I will end up bending the rules when I forget or feel too busy, and maybe there will be some pictures in there taken with the crappy camera in my mobile phone, but the aim is to have uploaded 366 self portraits when 2008 gives way to 2009.
This entry marks the public beginning of my project.
