Ok then. I'm starting again. I'm in a good mood right now so I expect there won't be an entry tomorrow when I'm moody and depressed. For those that don't know their history, shame on you, I tried once before. People liked my processing style but I decided it wasn't for me since my processing wasn't my own. Something this personal should be my own through and through. I'm hoping to be as open as Marcel has been, but there is a danger in that. If anyone has seen Peep Show then you'll understand what its like to be in my head :D

I hear the internet is on computers now. Look ma. I'm on the internet! Plans for this 365 as stated. Document my life. Whatever that means. I'll tackle the bad stuff as it comes, which annoyingly is more often than it should be.
 
Good for you :)

Don't give up on it.. even if you don't feel like doing it, there is some strange pleasure to be taken from forcing yourself to do something and being able to look back at it afterwards.

I'm sure the end result will be worth the effort.. and it might even be fun :D
 
pete this is a hell of a task ...:nuts:


full credit for trying it and if youget anywhere near all way i will drive up to the wirrel and buy you a pint.......


md:thumbs:
 
Glad to see you made your mind up Pete. I'm only day 27 on mine now, but enjoying it a lot. I think 365 can mean different things to different people. Mine is literally acting as a diary for this year, I don't have the desire to have a specific continuous 'style' to it (I don't have one anyhow!), just whatever feels good on the day. In turn maybe I'll be able to see progression in my post processing and shooting as a bi-product :)

So is it Zorro or the Hamburglar?!
Hopefully this will fill by hole left by Marcels!
 
Nice shot Pete. :D

I'm thinking like mthrembo, my 365 is just what takes my fancy at the time :D

Thanks for the support guys :) I've got my photoblog for the other sort of whatever takes my fancy sorta thing. As long as its related to the local area for the most part. I want this to really mean something to me. Maybe by doing some more fun portraits to be less shy, less afraid of what people think of me. Maybe by opening up a bit more so people see why I can be a villain :) Who knows. I just hope that I stick with it.
 
Scary first photo...I may not be back :p

In all seriousness, it's a fantastic shot...and shows your madness for taking on such a challenge! I'm looking forward to checking back on this thread :)

Aye there is a certain undertone to the image. I'm curious but hiding behind a mask, and perhaps a little strange :D
 
Bleeding christ Pete! Missed this one earlier, love it :D
 
Hope you keep this one up mate as love your photos. Shouldn't be too hard for you as you post almost daily on Vanilla Days so its not like its something you aren't used to.

True. I think the problem last year was that I was doing 3 365's essentially. I got stressed, missed some days and threw it in. Not sure how I'm going to cope this year though as I hope to be busier :) 2 365s to do.

Some people think I sleep in my hat. I don't. I may take a shower in it though.
 
Already nakedness in your 365,
I can see all the ladies subscribing to this!!!
 
Thats a hat? I always assumed you had a strange haircut!

:razz:

I've noticed that my eyes seem wrong. The left is brighter than the right. This is under 2 different light sources and in the second photo the light is on the right hand side. Bit odd.
 
Thanks :) It won't be 100% self portraits though.
 
good start pete, just keep it going:thumbs:
 
On the strength of your first 2 shots I can see a book in this to rival your "Port of Culture" Pete, keep 'em coming. :thumbs:
 
Haha. Not sure anyone would buy a book about me, especially with the first shot as the front cover :p Still thinking about todays. No ideas really and I'm busy working on the HDR book so it might just be a really uncreative photo of books or something.
 
I don't think you have to be creative every day for your 365 to work at a personal level, who better than you knows that life is a rollercoaster with ups and downs, and also I don't believe for a minute that you'll be afraid of posting images of the more mundane side for fear of what people would think.;)
Go with what you have and not with what you think people want, not being bossy or anything, I'm sure you know what you want from this exercise.:p
 
Yer I know what you mean. If I get time I'll be creative, if not its a photo of books with nice depth of field :D

I've spent most of the day looking at words. Tomorrow I hit the enemy toast and finish the HDR book. The final chapter, portraits. I imagine theres a fair few hoops to jump through after that though but the real work will be done. Oh and yes I am wearing WW1 fighter pilot goggles.
