Posts Tagged “365”

I told myself that I’d do one post per month, here I am, on the last day of April, reminding the internet of the self portraits I do, realising that I haven’t done this since February, and my March post was secret. It’s not that I haven’t got anything to say, I’m just a terrible procrastinator and slacker… I promise I’ll make it up next month… Pretty please.

So without further ado, what I believe are my best self-portraits since last time:

February 28th:

Portrait: 59/365 "Malice"

One of my darker portraits, conceived without the candles and just my lit up face, I preferred it like this however, it gave the picture a certain balance.

March 2nd:

Portrait: 61/365 "B is for Balloons"

B is for balloons, during March, I did a letter of the alphabet (in order) each day. It meant that March so far has been my best self portrait month, as I had to put in more work every day, and I got results like this one (my favourite self portrait of this project so far).

March 7th:

Portrait: 66/365 "G is for Gravity"

Suspending gravity, I just had a lot of fun taking his picture.

March 8th:

Portrait: 67/365 "H is for Hair"

Left the camera outside the bathroom, commenced showering, and when I had set my hair with shampoo, opened the door for a quick snap, and this atmospheric result came out.

March 9th:
Portrait: 68/365 "I is for Irresistible"

I is for Irresistible; anything else?

March 12th:

Portrait: 71/365 "L is for Life"

I have to do at least SOME picture in the nude, and when they turn out great… Why not. I have a female audience after all ;)

March 15th:
Portrait: 74/365 "O is for Obsolescence"

Not all days were born equal, including this one.

March 19th:
Portrait: 78/365 "R is for Retro"

Visiting my uncle in Horsens, he gave (or lent) me my grandfathers old camera, so I held it in one hand, and my uncles Canon EOS 5D Mark II in my other hand (yes I held a 5D Mark II in one outstretched arm/hand).

March 26th:
Portrait: 85/365 "W is for What The ...."

But there ain’t no cure, so let this fever rock.

March 27th:
Portrait: 86/365 "X is for Xerox"

Ever tried thinking of something with X? Xerox… (No xylophone was nearby).

March 28th:
Portrait: 87/365 "Suspension"

I broke of from the alphabet system for a day, taking another picture in this terrible, but wonderful, kitchen.

March 29th:

Portrait: 88/365 "Y is for Yellow"

To fully understand this picture, listen to Yellow by Coldplay.

April 5th:

Portrait: 95/365 "Don't Panic"

Alhambra Palace, overlooking Granada (Spain).

April 9th:

Portrait: 99/365 "Bond... James Bond"

The name’s Bond… James Bond.

April 13th:

Portrait: 103/365 "Photoshoot"

Go ahead… Make my day.

April 20th:

Portrait: 110/365 "I Want To Ride My Bicycle"

The colours, the sharpness, the blured background… It’s just right.

April 23rd:

Portrait: 113/365 "Ingrid"

I went to Trondheim, and met Ingrid again (not since 2006).

April 25th:

Portrait: 115/365 "Gone Swimming"

Photo excursion to a public swimming pool, just wrong.

April 29th:

Portrait: 119/365 "Skyward"

Latest picture, best Mussolini effect I’ve done so far.

So… Status. I really should write something real, and I will. I have plenty of good ideas, but all good things come… Eventually ;).

Wow, was the last time I wrote about my photo project really January 11th? Ouch.
I’m not going to go through every single picture since then, but I will present my favourites:

Portrait: 12/365 "Not Clean"

Plain old fun, I took 6 separate pictures with a moustache drawn on my mirror, and put them together.

Sometimes the study life takes its toll.

January 20th:

And sometimes you get to have fun (in Spain).

January 27th:
Portrait: 27/365 "Speak No Evil"
I purposefully drained all colour from this picture, making it seem lifeless, and then drew a smiley.

Portrait: 28/365 "First"
Not much to say, I feel the picture works, and the shadow compliments it all.

February 4th:
Portrait: 35/365 "Cabin Lift"

While skiing, I managed to catch some great light in a lift.

February 9th:
Portrait: 40/365 "Blinded by Religion"
Blinded by religion, the 3 symbols on the duct tape are the David Star, the Christian Cross and the Islamic Half Moon.

Everything works so well, although I’m unsure about the ink on my hand.

February 14th:
Portrait: 45/365 "Lotus position"
Meditating in a suit? Come on.

February 18th:

Portrait: 54/365 "Chocolate or Gilbert?"
My first diptych, eat a piece of dark chocolate or Gilbert?
