daily self portraits and (not so) random thoughts

8.26.09 - 360/365

in the studioi like these meta portraits
the endless self referential loop...
fitting because august was meant to be about evaluating all daily process
so that i can make some decisions about going forward
well,
i am still not clear...

i can't keep taking these pictures of myself
(at least i don't think i can)
but there is an aspect of it that's working
since it is very different from saying:
"i will take a picture a day"
with a self portrait project you are guaranteed 2 things:
1. access to the same subject matter each day
2. subject matter with which you have an intimate connection
this is hard to duplicate

there are also other questions that i have to answer like:

which blogs to continue & how do they overlap?
during this time i have stopped posting on random thoughts
even without that pressure
i sometimes feel that it is too much
to create compelling material each day
for both this blog and my 2 fotolae

and
am i more comfortable with...?
a strict photoblog like random thoughts
or
with a more traditional blog format like this where i write as well

and
what to do about my daily watercolor project?
do i continue with the same 5 journals which are becoming unwieldy
or
do i create some new format for it

and
what about my website overhaul?
am i just upgrading the infrastructure:
adding style sheets,
getting rid of the frames architecture,
making it more inviting to update
or
am i also giving it a stylistic overhaul
going for a lighter, more airy, stripped down approach?

these are a lot of questions to answer in 5 days...
