356/365: An Evolution of Rivalry- for Matt

    01/10/07

    Back on Day 1;
    Matt:"Which one of us will stop the 365s first do you think?"
    Me: "Neither of us..."

    I`ve nearly finished my 365 days self portraiture project,but there has been one person who has been there from Day 1 and that is my friend Fanboy30
    Matt

    He`s the guy who got me into this group and to outsiders we appeared at times to have a huge competetive edge with big ideas that needed crazy props or locations or all the photoshop skills we could muster! If its felt like a battle its only ever been done with cameras and ideas.
    The 365 days has been great fun and one big reason for that was playing against Matt and upping the anti with ideas form the very beginning,because his pictures really are excellent,so this is a truce,it is taking the last 9 days easy before the project ends and the next time we both meet up we can have a beer and NOT TAKE A SINGLE SELF PORTRAIT! :)

      What a journey its been mate, such wonderful times and memories. This year will be one I shall treasure, it brought us together in person and kept our creative juices on edge.

      I love the image, well thought out and funny. I see a hammer in there and a gun, two of my favorite weapons of choice :)

      And the collaborations were my favorite! :-)

      I love that for your final "transformation" you added... a tie. :)
      Great idea, and I personally will miss your 365's, but... I suspect you wont disappear from the FlickrNation.
