You may have noticed the recent addition of the “365 Days” page to the blog, then again you mightn’t have the foggiest and your skills in observation are a tad underdeveloped. Your budding career as a private detective is looking bleak to say the least.

Career aspirations aside, the 365 Days Challenge is a group on flickr that asks its participants to take a portrait of themselves every day for a year. It’s not a particularly ground breaking idea and it’s been done many times before but I must admit it’s pretty good fun to participate in especially when you have a couple of friends (Bacoon, G-Nome) doing the same.

The challenge is really in taking a photo of yourself every day (although I have set a daily reminder on my phone to make sure I do it) but more so it’s making the damn things interesting! Most days I sit down in front of my laptop and start pulling faces at myself until one appears that doesn’t look too much like the days before. One of these days the wind will change and I’ll be stuck like that forever but until then hopefully I can provide some sort of entertainment to the gurning world if not to myself.
