Half a Year of my Life

Thanks IAmSam :)

Thanks Shannon :)

Thank you MhDkHr!

LOL, thanks Lee! Yes, I’d agree! This challenge starts off as brilliant fun, then slowly wears away at you…! And then it gets interesting, with what you start trying, just to amuse and distract yourself. And the camera is always out so I don’t forget to take a pic!! And is funny tracking my work stress levels through the images! :)

Thanks b! Glad you’ve enjoyed the series so far :)
Haha, I hope I haven’t given away everything about me yet! ;)

Thanks Paul, glad you like it! :)

Thanks Paul! Yep, kept it up, and another 3 months to go!!! I’ve been wondering about how to present them, and needed to pull together some images for next week, so thought I’d start this and use it as well.
I’ve decided I need more bright sunny pics, cos this lot is pretty dark, LOL!
I’ll look forward to seeing your year as well!

LOL brutusB3 :)
There’s a few pics taken using the self timer on the camera. Set the camera up on a tripod, compose the shot, focus, set the timer and jump into it! All still me, so still a self portrait :)

Thanks filfil, glad you think so! :)

Thanks Karen! I’ve still got a few months to go to finish my year, but I’m finally getting the year’s images sorted and selected :)

Thanks Brutus! I’ve still got another few months until I’ve done my year, but I’m definately going to keep it up :)

Thanks Kaitlin :)
And that pic was a half-arsed play with a double exposure, LOL! Trying to overlay my face with my husky, LOL! Much easier to do as post rather than on camera!

Hey Bex, thanks :)
I liked your comment, and must admit, I stalled on answering you. Made me stop and go ‘hmmm’. Good questions.
I think the person in the last pic there is certainly different. This series was begun during some massive work turmoil for me, so some of the darkess I was feeling seeped out (and into my writing. If someone has been killed in a story, they probably have a work face, haha!). But that was the beginning, and I’m now glad of it, as it pushed me out of my comfort zone and off my arse, LOL! At the start of this I’d never had any paid photography work and never had any writing published.
As for the journey, it was full of coffee and lack of sleep, LOL! But I can see light (it’s probably just dawn again though…!)

Thanks Claire! I’m glad you stopped by for a look :)
I’ve got to have another effort and pull them together right up to date! I’ve learnt that I need to get a new computer if I want to consider building the complete set with full or half sized images, LOL! I crashed out at half size a couple of times just making this one :)

Thanks Jess! You were meant to be my first recruit on this too, LOL! I’ll push you to it yet :)

Thanks MT :)

Thanks Catherine! And still going…! :)

Cheers Lloyd! I think I’ve actually been getting a second wind with this challenge (could be because the year end is drawing near, LOL!)

Thanks Globalphotos! Yeah, it’s been quite a mission, LOL!
Wow, I just realised that tomorrow is the end of my year of self portraits!!! I’ll have to pull all 365 together properly!

Heheh, you should do it! You could have some great locations with all of your travelling!

LOL, excellent solution :)

Thank you :)
Hope you get a camera that works soon then, and have fun with it!

Thanks Leah, glad you liked it :)

Haha! See, all the things you wanted to know, and lots you didn’t! :)
That tongue day was when I couldn’t rouse myself to take off the macro lens, and was bored with my eyes, LOL!

And I thought you wouldn’t be so easily scared, LOL!

Thanks zuladairam :)

Thanks Tracey! I’ve finished all my years worth of pics, then decided I’d go and do square crops for the final image… haha, a year has a lot of images :)

Thanks Christian, glad you like it!

Thanks Gethin! Yeah, you should do it. I’m so pleased I did it (and then I was pleased when the year passed too, LOL!)

Haha, you should definately do it! Then you’ll have to put some up on RB so I can see it too :)

Thanks CassPics :)

Haha, yeah, the first year captured!

Thanks Linda, I’m glad you think so :)

LOL, shucks, thanks Kim :)
