Daily Self Portrait

Your first (and in a way your last project) is to take a self portrait everyday. Yes, every single day from today until the end of class. That will result in approximately 100 photos. I am going to have you turn in your photos every other week so that I know that you are keeping up on this assignment.

You might try a series in which you plan your movement over the entire series. Imagine the hands of clock ticking, running it place, slowly forming a smile, etc...

Article about DailyBooth.com which is a site in which you are encouraged to post a photo of yourself everyday.

It was inspired by Noah K's popular series of daily self portraits.

You might try uploading your self portraits to your Facebook account each day, maybe evening making it your profile picture. That might encourage you would likely put some effort into the project and keep up with it.
