9.9.08 - 9/365

today's post brings up an interesting question for me;

through out the years

i have engaged in a lot of projects defined by the concept of "daily practice"

 

for me

a day

is the time from when i wake up

until the time i go to bed

which means my day

usually ends

at some point

between midnight and 4 AM

 

but given the parameters of the 365day project

in these days of exif data

i believe a "day"

is defined as the period of time between 2 consecutive midnights

 

so

while i took a bunch of other self portraits today

at various times

i am going with this one

shot,

(imho)

yesterday

but taken at 1:46 am, today

 

(while i like playing within boundaries

something tells me my body clock is going to win out on this one

and i am going to be stretching this rule quite a bit in the future)

 

 

sidebar:

remember

(rhetorical question)

when i said

"i couldn't recognize myself at all"?

well here's another

and now i know why...

i am lying down

(duh)

and being freed from the pull of gravity

does wonders

for all the shadows, strain and other signs of age

but i am not used to seeing myself that way

(since i don't have a mirror on my ceiling)

 

 

 

there instead of here
