It's interesting to see how far the 365 crew will go to illustrate the year.

You've gone quite far in personal exposition - we're seeing more of you than many of us might have expected. How do you think you will handle the last two thirds of this challenge? Has your own self-image changed through exposure?

The reason that I ask is that I'm finding it it hard to marry the last Esther I met (at a bus stop in Camberwell) with the extraordinary performance artiste whose antics daily blends and bends all that I know.

This is very interesting point that Mr. Jaded mentions. 365 does seem to liberate people and give them licence to express themselves. I know nothing about you, other than through your photos, but it does seem that you didn't previously have many self portraits in your stream. It is an interesting aspect of the social/visual website that is flickr. Good for you. It shows you in a thoroughly positive light. (no pun intended!)

Thanks everyone :)

Here's the serious bit:

You've gone quite far in personal exposition - we're seeing more of you than many of us might have expected.

I think I'm there in a lot of my non-self-portrait shots actually... I've never been one to hide psychologically, only physically. Photograham is right when he says there are very few self portraits before 365: i can only think of one off the top of my head, and it's basically a wallow in self pity.

How do you think you will handle the last two thirds of this challenge?

To be honest, I'm not sure how I'll handle the next week, let alone the next 330 days. I've been very surprised by the photos I've taken, and by people's responses to them. In a way it's almost scary: I have no idea how I'm going to live up to expectations: I'm running out of ideas and will be back to pictures of my toes in no time.


Has your own self-image changed through exposure?

No. I still hate pictures of mysefl. I'm hiding behind something in all these photos I think: whethter it's googly eyes or christmas lights. But I'm learning to care less that I dislike the way I look so much. If that makes sense.

The reason that I ask is that I'm finding it it hard to marry the last Esther I met (at a bus stop in Camberwell)

Ha! Well, I don't think you've ever met me at my best :D I've ever been nervous at my first flickr meet, over-excited by elephants, fretting about scavenger hunts or, well, in South London ;)

with the extraordinary performance artiste whose antics daily blends and bends all that I know.

Gosh.

Esther as a Christmas tree. Very convincing. lol

I think you are so imaginative. Actually, I just love what all of you are doing in this project. It makes me wish I'd stuck with it. Maybe I'll start again. :-)

OK. If the truth be told, I like to look at it, too. I guess that means I'm a bit creepy, as well.

those little buggers burn if you leave them on the skin too long, don't they, Esther?

Please don't ask how I know this or where the little burns were. Because I can't tell you.
