This photo is me on an every day basis--no makeup, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. I chose to be daring realistic and show who I really am for my first photo. I thought it went well with the mug shot theme because most people don't look good in mug shots.
Why did I decide to do a mug shot as my first photo? For a couple of reasons:
Charge 1: Bad photographer.
Sentence: Photography challenges (PAD blog and 45 POM Project being two of them).
Charge 2: Bad looks.Sentence: Keep up with going to the gym (which I'm doing pretty good with), eat better, and start feeling better about how I look. (Hoping that 45 POMs will help me learn a bit about myself).
This year I'm going to get better with both my charges.

This is great, Jamie! I agree I couldn't do daily self-portraits and wanted to do a self portrait project for the same reasons you outlined!
I'm excited to know another person doing a self-portrait project and look forward to following along!
Very cool idea.
You are a braver soul that I am. I don't do self pictures!! I can't manage to look at them objectively so they all look bad.
this was classic.. my vanity was showing in mine.. yep.. I couldn't help but do the distance thing. I'll get braver as time goes on. But I do love yours!!1
I am in. I hope I can do this! I hate pictures of myself.. hate, hate, hate. Maybe this will help me get over that!
Love this idea! Such a fun project!
I've been doing a 365 self portraits and most days I don't have makeup on either. I'm finally learning to like my big pores and baggy eyes and fly away hair. Hey, our kids think we're beautiful this way, why shouldn't we?
