et al
I saw myself in a photo recently and thought that’s not what i look like only, of course, that is. I’ve always been one of those people who didn’t like having my photo taken because it never seemed I came back from the processor looking anything like the person I thought I was. Now I wish I hadn’t hidden from cameras that weekend at the lake with friends when I got drunk, really, for the first time. Think how awesome it would be to review those memories now, messy drunk camping hair and all.
That’s why I’ve starting a project not unlike a million other people. 365 days of getting to know myself through the camera’s eye. Only, you know me, it’ll be more like 365 days but only 45 images. I’m not that taken with myself, thanks.
I will sometimes post the photos I take on the ndv but not always. This really isn’t about the rest of the world getting to know me as much as it’s about me getting to know me.
How positively flowers and shamrocks and love beads sounding of me.
Eitherwhichway, you can check out the first of the, you know, 45 here.

A blog friend of mine was doing this too. It didn’t last long though. I think the daily picture is even harder than the daily blogging. i look forward to seeing the results (being a photo buff - not a stalker)

i think that the project is a wonderful idea - and the photo is very cool… madison did a great job! i have been thinking about doing this as well - as i am losing weight, i thought it would be a great motivation to see myself change every day from the person who would prefer photos shoulder-up to someone who doesn’t quite mind having a full-body shot. i am also realistic and know that i will most likely take about a photo a week. best of luck on your project, i can’t wait to see the rest of your photos.
