Self Portrait


A friend suggested that I join Flickr's 365 Days  group which mandates that one posts a different self-portrait each day for one whole year.  I thought about it, checked into it, and thought momentarily that I'd give it a whirl.  Jim came into the room as I was photographing my feet, ankles, shoes, and hands so Jim asked what was possessing me.  I showed him the site, with many hilarious as well as quite professional photos, but he just stared at me and left the room shaking his head.  I think I lost his support. After more careful consideration, I think I'll delay my decision until clearer heads prevail. CDP keeps me busy enough!

  1. 365?? That sounds like a mission impossible. Jim might be right.

    It IS an interesting photo though.
    I see you too prefer a white keyboard.

  5. For those of us who avoid mirrors, this might be a painful but transformational experience. I think I'll pass though I'll be interested in what you decide to do, Kate.

  6. I think CDP is almost a full-time job in itself! I don't think I'd have time for the Flickr challenge. But a self-portrait a day series must be interesting to look back on a few years later or so.

  7. I think your husband's reaction was rather restrained upon being told you were contemplating joining a computer site in which one posts 365 photos of body parts. I have not seen the site, but after feet and hands and toes, people might start running out of parts to show.

  8. I think I'm on Brattcat on this one. I don't have very many body parts that are worthy of publication any longer.

  9. Ha! Jim could be right...OR he could be wrong. :) But 365 days of self portraits does sound like a LOT.
