So I tried and failed at a Selfie Project in 2016. I’m trying again in 2017. Last year I took the pictures with Blue Boy. Who you may remember is my Canon point & shoot. This year I’m going to take the pictures with the front facing camera on my… Read More »Selfie Project of 2017
Here are a couple of daisy pictures I took back in May, but never published. They might be a bit of an acquired taste. Something about them just feels like maybe these pictures were lifted from a snuff film. Maybe that is just me. So much more backlog to clean… Read More »Backlog Cleanout – Daisy Vol. 1

Back at the beginning of 2016, I had this dream of taking a selfie every day to document that growth of one awesome beard. Well. I made it a few days into April. As I’m going to rekindle this project for 2017, thought I’d look back at my favorite photos… Read More »The Failed Selfie Project of 2016
