Sunday 1st July 2012 – 'Self-Portrait' (183/366)

by 9 Comments

Earlier in the year when I discovered and fell in love with Instagram, I started noticing people using the hashtag #photoaday. Upon investigating it, I soon realised that it was a massive project undertaken by a lovely and talented Instagram photographer by the name of FatMumSlim. She sets a daily prompt for an entire month at a time and there are tens of thousands of people taking part in it, the world over.

I have started and failed to complete the monthly challenge several times now, but as I am currently flagging with 366 ideas (I blame the, quite frankly, bloody awful weather!), I decided that following her #PhotoADayJuly prompts would be a little bit of a different tack this month.

For some of them, I'm going to have to be creative, like today's: 'Self-Portrait'. I'm not going to think outside the box, let's pretend there is no box!

An 'Easter Egg' 365 – 'Who are you?' (110a/365)

by 4 Comments

I've cheated slightly with this post. It was going to be my entry into The Gallery but two minutes after publishing it, I bottled it and changed the image. I don't know why I felt so panicking about having this photograph up in The Gallery; I suspect that it is because then I was confirming my identity and I do like to stay anonymous. As far as I am aware my family and friends do not know about my blog and I want to keep it that way. Being a teacher in a small-town where I grew up, I do not have my own anonymity in real-life. This blog is my haven, my blue-skied peaceful life where everything is in soft focus and peachy. I actually really like this photograph of The Boy and Me, even in this heavily edited guide.

I know that my 365 is supposed to be a photo taken on that day, and this one clearly wasn't. But a) I wanted to share it with you, and b) I think some of my loyal readers and twitter folks deserve to know who I am. Even if I am just some blurry pixels hiding behind a giant pair of Jackie O's!

My Blog

Talking about last week's theme, Tara said:

I promised I'd follow (it) up with a nice easy one; give you a week off; ease off with the brain power required.
Well I lied.

This week's theme is: My Blog.
A photograph which sums up your blog. Simple as that (bwaha ha ha ha ha).

Oh that woman is a demon with the themes!

And so I bring you a photograph of The Boy and, well,  Me! I did try and tell him about my antennae but he didn't listen!

(You very, very almost had a real photo of me with The Boy. In actual fact, I published it for all of two minutes until I freaked out and took it down!)
