Stephen Poff's photostream

My name is Stephen Poff and I'm a flickrholic.

I joined the community after hurricane Katrina so that I could share my experience with distant friends and relatives.

Shortly afterwards I began a little project... a new year's resolution... to take a self portrait a day for a year. I began posting my photos to flickr along with a short diary entry about what happened that day. Before the year was over, you were doing it with me.

Now in 2008 we have over 7,500 people doing the project and learning... as I learned... that the project has a profound effect on your outlook on life.

I decided that this year's resolution would be to become more vocal in the group. To take what I've learned over the years and pass it on. I now host a weekly podcast with co-host Chris Maverick. You're welcome to join us... the more the merrier.

"I am so bummed I did not get to know him sooner!

He embodies all that I tried to be when I did 365 - a yearlong photo/text journal, with day-in-the-life photos that would represent, but also be interesting, insightful, and of great quality. I am amazed at how even the most simply composed or basic content photos of his are so interesting and full of life."

"A humorously creative photographer, in addition to being very skilled. The man's creativity amazes me and inspires me in times of waning inspiration during my 365days project. A project I believe I have him to thank and blame for spawning and adding extra stress to my life after my undertaking it. Thank god for it though, because without it I'd be stagnating instead of growing."

"A very innovative and intriquing photographer I just love his ideas...the daily photo, his amazing and highly unusual self portraits especially the super hero ones they are whimsical and show his understanding of the complicated dual nature of photographer who is also inner subject.
His black n white work is also very inspiring...

Plus along with ALL this, he is a really great person and I hit it off with him from the start!! He has a sense of how to impart a friendship thru his comments and comunication

I'm very glad to know you Stephen!!! ;-D
