I have been wanting to do a photography project of some sort forever. One project that I have always been interested in is doing a self-portrait every day for an entire year. I remember January 1st of 2009 watching a group of my classmates at Hallmark and many other around the world take on this challenge. I watched as some gave up and others prevailed. Now its my turn to give it a shot. I’m starting on January 1st 2010 and ending on December 31st 2010.

Why would I do something so time consuming and challenging you might ask? For two reasons the first being I have always wanted to keep a journal but I never really enjoyed writing. Now I can with the pictures I take of myself. I can depict what happened that day in a single photograph and add a caption at the bottom. Not every photograph is going to be about what happened to me that day, it could be some off the wall random cool self-portrait I decided to make. But like every photograph it will have a reason and a purpose which I will be sure to add in the caption along with what happened to me that day.

The other reason I’m doing this is to keep my creativity up, to keep things fresh, to practice and get better at what I love to do.

I am excited to start and I hope you all follow along with me as I create an awesome self-portrait every day for an entire year.

Wish me luck!
