"365 Days". A Challenge to Shoot a Self-Portrait every day for a year. To push myself to be creative. A reason to get the camera out of the bag every day. To document a year in my life"
Andrew G
Sometimes I can be creative - most times not.
I saw on TV a few weeks ago Andrew Günsberg ( the guy with the locks from Australian Idol ). He set himself a challenge to shoot a self-portrait every day for a year. His reasoning was to push himslef to get creative and a reason to get the camera out of the bag every day.
Well I certainly don't need help in the latter part of the statement - for those of you who know me - me and my camera are like x------x this close! But I think the idea is a valid one and something I could look back on after I come home and for years to come.
I'm going to implement that on my 12 month journey - I really like the idea.
I am travelling for approximatley 404 days - so that's alot of Bernie camera time - but as Andrew mentioned it is an interesting way to document a year in your life - especially as I will be just about in a different place each night - I just need to channel my inner creativity.......
I am also going to select a photo of the day and pop that into a Facebook folder - I hate coming home after a 2 week trip to scour all my pictures to find 'that awesome' photo I took on 'what day' ???? I mean ALL my photo's are good ( of course ) - but there is always that WOW photo.
I generally have 2000-3000 photos from a 2 week trip. Who wants to guess how many photos I'm going to come home to after 12 months. I hate to imagine - but my motto has always been that you can never have too may pictures.
