This was a fun, I’m glad I left the self-portrait theme for the last full week. I was in New Jersey with the in-laws mid-week and in Philly for the rest. Maybe this says something about me, but I just realized my face is only visible, clear, and in focus in two of the seven shots.

A note about the photos below. The glowing laptop photo was inspired by this David Hobby photo and the Rocky photo, was also an ode to Running from Camera, a photo blog which I have been following for a while that I always found interesting.

Today is new year’s eve which means it is my final day of the 366 project. I have an idea so I can hopefully go out with a bang, stay tuned for that. I also am planning on making a blurb photo book to chronicle the photos from this year.

The above Long Exposure was taken fairly late at night in Rittenhouse Square in the freezing cold. The park is actually just a couple feet behind the camera and it faces down Chancellor Street…which is really more of an alley.

While setting up this shot, I noticed a Stikman on a sign that was about two feet from me (or what was left of the stikman). If you’ve never heard of stikman, check out this Washington Post article. I have been seeing stickmen all over Philly but I’m pretty sure the first one I saw was in DC somewhere before we moved. I’ve had a bit of a fascination with random street artists since I saw a Banksy piece in London on my honeymoon. At that  point I hadn’t heard of him but later saw some of his stuff on flickr.

On December 28th I will be complete with my final theme. I will have three days remaining in my photo project and I need to come up with an idea for my final days.  Any ideas?

I am almost done with all of the themes on my theme list for the 366 project. I’ve been trying my best to finish up the themes even if my whole week doesn’t fit with the theme so well. A couple photos (namely the self-portraits) don’t quite fit the week’s ‘beautiful’ theme…unless you guys think I’m beautiful. Speaking of self portraits, theme 52 is just that, self portraits.
