I think it was Nessa who asked what this whole 365 thing was all about. I've been meaning to answer the question but hadn't got around to doing so...

I'd seen it on someone else's blog and thought it sounded like fun, that was a while ago and I hadn't realised that the project was open, I thought it was invitation only... I was wrong and so, after that little revelation I decided to give it a go.

My primary motivation was to put myself into a situation where I had to get creative at least once a day... the secondary motivation was to get happier on the other side of the camera. I usually get all sorts of depressed after I see pix of me... and happily, of these shots there are a number that I'm really happy with. Mostly because of the creativity factor rather than any particular attractiveness factor.

Anyway, there you have it... why I'm doing 365days. The basic premise of the exercise is to take a photo of myself everyday. Only self portraits are allowed, framed, set up and photographed by me. No external help other than a tripod and a self timer when necessary!
