Setting the goal
Added 2022-10-27 07:30:01 +0000 UTCIf everything goes to plan next year, I'm going to have a big year especially the second half. One of the things happening next year is my 50th birthday and I've set that as the timeframe to work on my self portrait project and release a download. It sounds entirely self indulgent and arrogant but I'm actually hoping it's a cathartic process.
This image above was taken at the start of lockdown here in Sydney in 2020. Shortly after starting to explore self portraits, being locked in an apartment alone and not liking it, I went in to a bit of an emotional spiral and stopped. Now I'm in a good routine with working out and in better shape, and in a better mental place it's time to get this going again. Hitting a milestone birthday like 50 is confronting but it feels like a logical target.
Unlike all my other downloads, it won't be all images from a single shoot. It will be all sorts of ideas and photos of myself. Now I just need to figure out how to do it.
