Why is it that even when I sleep 2 hours later than normal, I still don't wake up feeling refreshed?
This picture makes my stomach look big. It really isn't… really!
I love the wrinkles on my face from the contortion… especially the big one on my forehead that stops half way across.
I'm back! I'm doing Project365 again, after a (… counting …) 16 week and 5 day erm, "Vacation." I guess I figure it's better to finish what I started late rather than leave it unfinished forever.
Part of the reason I abandoned the project was being overwhelmed as a new dad, but part of it was feeling uninspired, generic, boring, and bland. So what better way to start the project back up than to buy a pre-packaged me, made in China, wrapped in cellophane, for half the price of a domestic one? From the looks of it, this one might have a learning disability.
Today I started the process of moving my studio (backgrounds) into my home office, so hopefully having them stare me in the face every day will be a good reminder to think of something to shoot, or at least to just shoot a generic, boring, bland head shot. They don't all have to be brilliant… they just have to be.
I'm too tired to make separate posts for each of these, but I really need to catch up. Here we go.

Somehow I managed to make sure I got a picture of myself on the day my son was born.
Do those hats ever stay on their little blood and amniotic fluid covered heads?

I took this photo — on Saturday at around 11:30am — thinking that it was roughly 6:00am on Friday. Seriously. I was a little tired. Sadly, this is about all I've got of myself for Friday… The day was spent bonding with my son and taking photos of him with his visitors.
Pardon the vinyl-covered fold-out chair that thinks it's a half-decent bed (but really, you know it isn't) head.

So this is the obligatory "my son is half me" shot, for Project365.

No complaining, I'm in this one. ;)

Normally, some time in November I try to remind people that it's a good time to give to charity. I'm a little late. I'm sure you understand.
If you don't have a favorite charity, I would invite you to consider Child's Play. It's a completely non-profit organization that seeks to make children's time in hospitals a little more enjoyable. They are affiliated with more than 50 hospitals world-wide, and provide a great way to funnel money, toys, and video games directly to the hospitals to help brighten a child's day; through cash donations (directed or general), and by purchasing items directly from the hospital's wish lists, so you know exactly what they need. You can also purchase a t-shirt (the one I'm wearing) to help spread the word, and proceeds from the shirts are donated to the charity as well.
They've raised more than 4 million dollars in cash and toys to date, and giving a couple of toys every year makes me feel like I've done something so wonderful and hardly inconvenienced myself in doing it.
As gaming is close to my heart, it feels like a great fit for me. I hope you find a worthy cause fit for you this holiday season.
