A while back I moved to Germany and started a whole new life leaving many things behind from the US. In some ways it has been beautiful and in others it has been the most incredibly hard thing I have ever done with my life. I realized in a really rough period here that I just don't have the creative and artistic people surrounding me as I did before when I lived in Seattle and I needed something in my life to be a creative outlet and to give me some sense of that energy that drives us and connects us.

I had many friends who participated in self portrait work and were doing a 365 day project. So I thought I would try some self portraits and so began this little journey. So here are the pages of my trial and perhaps error. I am not a professional in any way. But I am enjoying the moments of capturing. I am enjoying the process and if in some way I bring a smile, a laugh, or an appreciation from you then, all the better. Still this is just me..doing what I enjoy, being a scientist in a daily way, emulating the people I respect and perhaps being something more.
