#LANoir #Selfies
I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, I think, is that you really must make the self. ~ Mary McCarthy
So I'm on a quest, several actual, but more on that in the creative quest blog. This one is to post a photo everyday for a year. Rules are that it must be a new one, from the DSLR, the point&shoot or the cell phone. Can't pull from the stash. When I travel I'll schedule posts, which will mean that I'm allowed to mine the files during that period of time only. We're going for quantity, not necessarily quality.
To say this will take me out of my comfort zone is an understatement. I've done a monthly quest of photos, words and exercising. I floss and take my vitamins virtually everyday, which I've tracked for 4-5 years. I've been exercising relatively a lot for maybe 15 years. Or often enough to impress my 'I hate gym and especially volleyball' self. So I'm thinking it could be done.
By the end of the year I want to own the identity of photographer internally and not just physically because I run around with a 'real' camera. I want to become one with the camera like I am with words. Notice I didn't say I wanted to be 'good' or completely camera/technology literate. Nor did I say the images have to be 'fine art'. I just want to believe in the elevator speech I blurt out. I want the latest Iteration of Me to have strong roots.
