fiftytwo self-portraits - come join me!

[starrylaurie]

Last year, wulf set up a self-portrait group called fiftytwo that is a "sister group" to the threesixtyfive group that Sime has.

Although my time is somewhat limited, I wish I could commit to the 365, but I can't. The extra time just does not exist for me. I have, however, committed to the 52. I can take one self-portrait a week. I have that much time. (Plus, I'm making my students do 30 of them, so I don't have an excuse!)

So, I'm asking for some of you to JOIN ME!!! Most of the people that joined wulf's 52 group did so when he created it, and there are only 5 or 6 of us taking part right now. If you have time, come on - it'll be fun!!

And if you have time, do the 365, I promise I'll support you!

Here's the link to the original discussion about the fiftytwo group and here's the link to the one for the threesixtyfive group.

JOIN ONE!

365 is just too large of a commitment for me, but once a week suits me just fine. I've gone ahead and joined.

Ok ok ok...

I've been threatening myself to do a 365 but I've just not managed to get started. So I've joined the fiftytwo group.

I even opened a flickr account specially for it! (I had a picasa account)

So I'll be off to take my 1st picture for this week...

i'm going to give it a go

I'm game! I just signed up for the group.

Already did the threesixtyfive (finished last month) and the fiftytwo (ditto), but have been toying with the fiftytwo idea again. I must be crazy....

[KodiakStar]

Hrm. Should I.... Shouldn't I.....

[starrylaurie]

Kodiak, you definitely should! I'm glad I have new friends to see, too. The more the merrier!! I'm off to take mine for this week...

[KodiakStar]

Ok ok.. I was going to do 365 before, but knew I couldn't follow through with it, but 52 I can do.

I just realized that I have taken 3 pictures this month already, one per week, so uploaded the first two to the group. Third will be just in time for the new assignment

Interesting thing about self-portrait groups: by the time you've finished, you realize you've learned quite a bit about lighting, posing, composition, creativity, etc., all of which can be used in other photographic areas.
