SELF PORTRAIT MOVIE!!!

Since I turned 22, I’ve attempted to take a picture of myself everyday. Attempt is the key word. There’s 619 photos here…most of which I’ve taken at a stop light on the way to work. I take them in the car because I’ve conditioned myself to remember when I’m at a certain spot every morning. 

In the beginning I would sometimes take the pictures in my apartment or out and about. Eventually I narrowed it down to a more neutral pose and face and just in my car.

It’s fun and poignant to watch because I can remember exactly where I was at certain points in time just based on my clothes/hair/makeup/look on my face/red allergy eyes/red late night eyes/a black eye (in the beginning)/different apartments, etc. I think the biggest lesson learned is there is a time and place for lip liner and plumping lip gloss…never. :)

I was hoping to put this together when I was 30 but got restless. Hell, it’s been over 5 years at this point and I thought I could start here. I actually took the last picture here today. I have no plans on stopping. It’s just too damn fun…

oh, and the music is Ruben Blades’ “Buscando Guayaba.”

Enjoy!
