Daisies have always been one of my favorites to photograph.

I’m starting a self-portrait project where I take a self-portrait every day for 2016 with New Toy*. At the end of 2016 I will compile these into a video and you can witness how time ravages this beautiful visage.
These photos are not meant to be particularly ambitious. Just me, in my ordinary backgrounds of my life.
It is possible that if you attend a party, wedding, mission trip, or sporting event with me, you could get drug into this project as well.
I should note that due to my history with point & shoot cameras, I will be surprised if I finish this project and don’t break New Toy before 2016.
Here are the first few images:
I won’t be posting these pictures on a regular basis, but if you feel so inclined, you can follow along as I post them to their gallery. Click link below:
*Not really new at this point.
There were a surprising amount of submissions this week for it being a holiday season. Hopefully we build on that this week.
Submissions for RED:
Carla Stensland
Kim Barker
Christopher D. Bennett
Angie DeWaard 1
Mike Vest
Angie DeWaard 2
So what is this week’s theme?
Let’s have a look:
This should be an interesting one. It might be one of the more difficult themes, but I hope that doesn’t scare anybody away. As always, I’ll be excited to see all the submissions.
GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING NOTES
No new subscribers.
No movement on the secret handshake development front.
So the walk down memory lane now concludes. With a look at the images that were in the calendar that early this morning will be taken down from kitchen walls (most common place I’ve seen the calendar hung up), office walls, cubicle walls, and placed gently in the trash with yesterday’s coffee grounds. 2015 Photography 139 Calendar I bid you a fond adieu.

Since yesterday was the end of year and a holiday that many people celebrate (not me though, I don’t need the calendar gestapo telling me when to start a new year) I would like to take a quick moment to thank everybody that has continued to be an email subscriber to this here blog.
Off the top of my head and I apologize if I miss anybody:
These people are all original subscribers or at least haven’t changed their email since August 22, 2011. Which is how far back the records from off the top of my head go.
