This is one of my new year’s resolutions…and like most resolutions, it may not turn out so hot. But I’m giving it a shot.
I’ve always been intrigued by the art of the self-portrait. It’s so common amongst artists of any medium and that alone is powerful. I’m also drawn to self-portraits because you can take one whenever you want because you yourself are the subject. There is no session that needs to be figured out amongst busy schedules — the right time for a self portrait is anytime.
To be honest with you, this winter is starting to get to me and I’m feeling like I’m in a bit of a rut. I’m hoping turning the camera on myself once a week (ONCE A WEEK?! I hope I can handle this…) will give me the opportunity to explore my relationship with my camera a little bit more and force me to git more creative. I will also admit that I hope I get some decent profile pictures out of this for Facebook ; )
To clarify: the goal is to take one self-portrait a week and post it for you guys on Friday. If I do not hold up to this and you see me walking down the street, feel free to beat me. Gently.
Above is my new haircut. I can no longer put my hair up in a ponytail.
