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 someone else hit the shutter for me.

The way things have been going lately, it was time for a celebratory dinner at a hip Mexican place. Because really, what's more enjoyable than a limey margarita and taco salads as big as your head?
Holy Frijoles has been a favorite hangout of mine ever since I came to Baltimore in 1997. I remember coming here with college friends, particularly Jeremy. (We love Jeremy!) The place has both changed and it hasn't... the people have sloppier hair (I really don't get the hipster trend of looking skeevy, malnourished and dirty) but the space is more than twice as large and the decor has exploded out the side door. I'm never impressed by the service but I always leave feeling like I'm going to die. In a good way. Mexican food will do that to you.
Then many more great times were had in this little dive, with all kinds of friends and all kinds of times in my life.
Now, great things are happening to us these days. I'll drink to that.
