Ninety Days - a portrait project

[beetiger]

I've been meaning to do this project for a while now, and this seems as good a time as any to start. I've been inspired by a lot of introspection of late, and also by the Flickr project 365 Days which sydb42 has been doing. I'd like to do something shorter, and in a more personal space, but the idea is the same.

So. Ninety self-portraits, in ninety days, ninety photographs. I'm not a photographer or an artist, and I don't really know how to use any photo editing software very well, and I don't have a tripod and I'm just using a basic digicam on a selftimer. I don't know if I'll learn anything more about any of these things over the course of a 3-month project. But I will commit to this: I will take a picture of myself every day for the next ninety days, and I'll post them as close to every day as possible.

I'm going to offer this to you, if you'd like to see it, as a filter on this journal. Given where I am right now mentally, the portraits may be kind of angsty and emo. I know the first one is. There will probably be nudity, but I don't suspect there will be anything sexually graphic, and if there is, I promise to tag it. I'll put all the pictures behind cuts. And I'd like feedback, either on the photography or on the content.

Please let me know if you'd like to be added.

I'd like to be on this. :)

I'd like to be too. I've been considering doing something like this too.

I'd like to see.

[shaterri.livejournal.com]

I would very much like to see this, if you're willing to let me.

I'm interested. sydb42's pic posts have been very interesting, and this leads me to suspect I'd enjoying seeing anyone's project.

[sydb42.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be on the filter. :) As for photography and photo editing skills, I have definitely gotten better at both since I started (but I still have LOTS of room for improvement). Today is day 105 for me, so I think you'll definitely learn more and get better by day 90. :)

You betcha!

Wish I had time to get my tripod to you.

Don't know if you know me well enough for me to be observing such a project, but I'd like to be on the filter if you're comfortable with it.

Yes, I'd like to be added. I may not have much to say in response, not being an artist or photographer either.
