it's a new year

[lizziebelle]

It was a strange year for me. Lots of ups and downs. Things accomplished, and things left undone. Actually, that's fairly typical for me.

I started out the year with a new project, taking a daily self-portrait. I didn't get anywhere near 365, and it was challenging to find new and different ways of making them, but I really like how a few of them came out, so it wasn't a wash. Sometimes it was even fun.

Here are a few of my favorites :



















This one is my favorite of all:





I had a lot of fun playing with them in different apps, especially Aviary and Snapseed. I took them all with my iPhone, and most of them were spur-of-the-moment and not planned. I'll probably continue to experiment with self-portraits when inspiration hits, but it won't be a focus for me this year. I need to find a new project to stretch myself. Any suggestions?

Those are quite beautiful. I love the shadow selfie. I love them all.

It would be interesting to have a series of photos that you can look back on to describe the year as you experienced it.

I do take photos whenever I go someplace new and/or interesting, so I do have a sort of documentation of my life. I suppose I could put something like that together. When I have the energy. ;)
