#63 - Another Year

Can you see the special cameo appearance?

#14 - B/W Test

I thought I'd try some tests with portraits and black and white. Not too pleased with any of them, but of them all, I despised this one the least. One thing this project is going to do is make me think about how to take pictures again, and give me the opportunity to try different things.

#9 - Being Negative

Whoa! Ok, I have to admit I was really stretching to find something to take a picture of. This one was the toughest one yet. The others always presented themselves but this time, it was reaching midnight and I had yet to get a decent picture. So I was playing around with my camera on my phone and found out that it had a negative setting and ta-da! Kinda eerie but I think it's pretty interesting too. Not bad for last-minute, although I think you can tell it was last-minute.

#7 - What'd you say?

Well, one week down, and I made all of the deadlines. But there is a LONG way to go, I know. I took this with my phone. I tried to make a odd look, but also one not too unimaginable me making. I'm not sure if I ever make this face to this extreme, but sometimes I feel that I do. Most of the time it involves Emrys or Miguel writing checks again, I feel. The light above is way too harsh for what I wanted, but it was a spur of the moment type of thing. I did play with the contrast balance a little to make it look better. I don't think it's half bad considering I couldn't see what I was doing when I took it.

I know I already did a self-portrait (kinda). But one of the benefits of this project is to see how you may have changed throughout the year. And I just got my haircut and beard trimmed today and thought I should have it documented. Not that you can really tell in the picture anyway.

#5 - First self-portrait

I was standing in the lobby of my work and thought I'd take a picture of the floor tiles. Again patterns. See a pattern here? Ok, that was a little overboard. Anyway I took a picture of my feet to get my self-portrait out of the way. I know these self-portraits are going to be the toughest.
