I started doing the 365 portrait back in 2008 on Flickr and it was self portraits. I have had a few false starts and never completed a full year. This year I am determined to finish and I haven't missed a day yet!!
Anyone else doing selfies?
I am part of a few groups on Flickr that have a theme a day which really helps to keep the creativity flowing.
almost all my project is made of selfies. I dont want to but i always end up doing them, because i love when people are included in pictures, but i often have noone else to shot then me.
If have to - in Tag Challenge a few times I got self portrait or selfie so took ones reluctantly (I have a face which looks better behind the camera). Admittedly some times took photos of something else and I was reflected in the subject but its not too bad.
only done the one last week of May as a filler - collage 4 shots) not so happy with it I really need to practice set up and be creative not always possible after work when one feels drained .. but one a month sounds doable .. altho not so sure anyone really wants to look at me - i hate having my pic taken
Thanks for all the replies! I will have to check out everyones photos!
@suelaubscher I felt the same way for years. I would literally RUN from a camera if it was pointed at me. I had dreadful self esteem issues. That is one of the reasons I took on the project. To help with that.
I still have a tendency to hide from the camera but after 650 odd selfies and losing 65lb, the fear is less.
Tweets ahoy!

@gypsylady is doing selfies everyday in addition to some of the others who have already commented.
