New Project.... "A Portrait A Day"

I know I've been lacking on my "weekly assignments" and "what's on my desk"photo projects.... Well for the last month, at least, this is due to the weather... but your right, no excuses. Soooooo after skimming around the web for more ideas and how to's.... I came up with a new project.

Following along with my tag line... "Up close and portrait" I will try to take one portrait of myself, each day for the next month. I would like to do a year, but with my track record, lets see if I can make it through one month.

This will be a collection of random images, either staged or not, up close or far away... but it will be some sort of portrait of my self or my life that day.

DAY 1


Here is my first shot... taken with my N95 Cell Phone Camera. I was not to happy with the way it came out, so I turned it B&W and played with the contrast. Funny thing about this shot is that the ear in view is in so much pain. I am in a wedding in a few weeks and I received jewelry to wear as a gift. I had not worn earrings in so long that my holes had almost closed up.... After a few painful pushes the holes opened... now I have to suffer through a few days of pain while they heal. But here it is.... Day 1 portrait.


Happy Shooting !

Piper Portrait

Portrait session with my dog Piper. You would never guess it from these photos but Piper hates hates hates to see my camera. Usually all I ever get is a profile, she does not like the flash. This day she was super excited... ok maybe it was over the rawhide in my hand... yeah I had to treat her to pose... but come on... doesn't she have the cutest natural smile for a dog?
