here I am, hiding from myself again.
100 days! wow, can't believe I made it. 100 days in a row (more or less) taking a photo of myself. I never imagined I'd embark on such a journey.
in November 2010 me and Robyn began living together and a whole new chapter of my life began. after living in a small apartment by myself for 5 years...this was quite a change. also worth mentioning is Robyn comes with a ten year old son. I tell you all this because along with a change in living situation, I changed my creative focus.
when I was living alone, I was all about my music. I spent the last two years creating my definitive musical album. it was my fourth such effort and I really feel like it is my best work to date. when I completed the album I put it on the internet for people to download for free, and that was that...nope, still not a rockstar. I'm just a drop of water in an endless ocean of recorded music downloaded daily onto the internet. I'm getting too old now to keep setting myself up for the heartbreak of pouring myself into something that no one pays attention to. there is still love in my heart for making music, but for now I'm done trying to be a rockstar.
enter photography...when I was a teenager my dad gave me his old Minota 35mm camera and I took a photo class at my jr. high school. my teacher, Mr. Hyndman, saw something in me and really encouraged me to keep taking photos. which I did all through high school. after I graduated, I no longer had access to a darkroom and so my passion for photography was lost for awhile. in 2003 I got my first digital camera and bang! I was back on the wagon...taking tons of photos. I loved it, but I had no audience and my hard drive filled up quickly. once again, my passion started to wane and I all but stopped.
so now, here I am, new living situation, done with music projects for awhile...I needed to do something. I've had this Flickr account for quite awhile but wasn't really doing much with it. I decided to go Pro. quickly I found the 365 project. it seemed like quite a challenge, but the photos from the group looked like a lot of fun. I decided to take the plunge. I thought for sure I would have given up before now, but here I am...day 100! I certainly wouldn't have made it without the comments and support of the Flickr community and the friends I've made on here.
over the course of this project I have become a much better photographer and my passion has been re-ignighted. seeing your photos inspires me more that I can tell you. thank you all so much for viewing my photos and leaving me comments! here's to another 265 days! (whoa, that seems like a lot!) cheers!
