365 self portraits. Can I actually do it? Inspired by many others, I decided to give my creativity a kick in the pants with a Daily Photo project. With life happening too fast, quite often I lose the spark that drives me to pick up the camera. Hopefully I can maintain not only this project, but the ability to develop more as a photographer. Ideally, the majority of these will be self-portraits to help me get over my image complex and to document the most important, memorable moments of each day.
My rules:
1. At least part of myself in each shot. Every 24 hours.
2. EXIF data pulls rank. I travel and can't always upload on a timely matter, but the timestamp is as the timestamp does...
3. Try to document the dominant activity/event of the day. This is a journal-type project for me, too.
4. Having help is OK. While I always set up the shot myself, occasionally the location requires having my husband or a friend hit the shutter for me, or just stand there so my camera isn't sitting in the middle of the street unprotected.

We've all been very busy here in Scotland but when I remember I try to think of something creative for a daily. Today wasn't one of them, I admit.
After a late night a portion of us got up at 4 AM for a sunrise shoot at a lovely little lighthouse. I admit that while the hike was refreshing, it was not really entirely necessary to be awake at that ungodly hour for the light/weather that we had.
Overall, the day was fine. The sun came out hours later and I did manage to catch a small 40 minute nap. I don't expect to get great sleep on a workshop of course, but I am also still suffering from jet lag.
I can get used to not remember what day of the week it is. I also can get used to the idea of many aspects of a photography workshop in a foreign country. ;)
