Partial
Back on 1st January 2008 I started out on the 1.1.1 Challenge set by Claire to capture the year 2008 in photographs, taking a single photo, every day for the whole of the year…
Anyway, 6 months down the line and with the Challenge Cafe hosting a competition strictly for “New” work, then I thought what better than to highlight this challenge once again… and to show that I’m still at it!
Every new day brings a new picture…
I felt that this self portrait reflects a lot of what I have been doing lately… a lot more black and white and an ever growing love of high contrast and drama.
Here’s to another good 6 months…

What a fantastic angle, love the light, and the play between dark and light… great job Paul. It conveys a feeling of deep reflection, of hope and almost longing as well… yeah, I like it.

You simply can’t go wrong with high gamma & contrast.
This is strong work! (In the style of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”...heh.)
I like it. :)
