Every day I take my portrait and using a simple script I wrote I combine them into one averaged image. This is my average self portrait consisting of four years worth of portraits.
Here’s the project in a nutshell:
I take a photo every day at the same angle with the same blank expression, and then at the end of the year I average all of the daily photos together. The blurring in the final image is the result of the small deviations from picture to picture from my head slightly turned or eyebrows slightly raised/lowered, changing hair length, etcetera.
This is the fourth year I’ve been doing this project. In addition to the image I stick all the dailies together into a video where I can see myself age, and it’s at this point where I can now really see a big transition.
Calla Lily deadheads, once again in the studio. Image manipulations consist of total background replacement (Photoshop "fibers" filter) with deadheads masked to retain them, Color tweaked for intensity and saturation, and some selective sharpening.

U.S. National Seashore on Cape Cod, one foggy day.
Does anyone else remember that term, hazy bright, that Kodak used to use in the flyer that came with it films to help estimate exposure settings without a light meter? Hazy bright was between sunny and overcast--bright enough to feel sunny but hazy enough that there are no shadows.
This one I shot at the suggestion/request of my friend, Barb.
It struck me how much the parent geese give up to usher and train the goslings to flying age.. 'til then, they have to Walk everywhere, more vulnerable as well as limited in what they can actually do to protect the cute fuzzy helpless demanding things.

Three year average (median).
Three years ago now I made a little Processing script to average sets of photos, and a few weeks before that I started a photo-a-day project, where I was careful to get as close to the same angle as possible.
This image is the result of finding the median (middle value of a sorted set) of the whole three years of photos.

Thank you so much for another year of wonderful friendships and beautiful artful inspiration.
Love Pammy
From my Mom's Garden, at the end of October. This blossom had a crappy background, so.. I created a new one for it, in Photoshop, enhancing it's 3D properties along the way.
Pimped Picture 47a Tweaked lighting and saturation added fill in flash and a little additional sharpening to eyes and mouth then added a dark marquee around the edge of the image to pull focus to the centre of the image then a little burning and doging done to bring out the shadow details. This was done as part of flickr group Fix My Pic and Pimp My Pixels.
