Twelve self portraits start … now.

 

I made an agreement with my friend Sunny Lee that I would make 12 self portraits over the next 12 months.

This is my first portrait for January with the perimeter that we’d smoke cigar in the first photo.

Tah-dah.

I’m not sure what happened.

Tina and I were looking at our calendar going into January, and we thought, “Ho hum, you gotta have a slow month once in a while.”

And then, WHAM, we got slammed. We’ve been working endlessly on a video editing job, that’s frankly, killing me.

And then we landed a baby, an interior, and today … a mattress.

But one of the shots is with a model, too. So there’s that.

I’m trying to figure out which god or gods to pray to in order to give me a bit of respite. The tendency when you think you have a slow month is to take almost anything that comes your way.

Must … learn … from … this!
