I thought one of the ideas behind the 365 days project was to help people get to know themselves.

This poses a problem when you find you don’t like the person you’ve come to know. A major re-evaluation is required, as I’m not sure I can spend another 322 days photographing this person.

Following that confession, the conversation with other Flickr members doing the 365 days project went back and forth for a while, after which I concluded:

You are right. Like ourselves or not, we’ve got to learn to accept ourselves, or make some life changing decisions.

The guy I’m taking pictures of has lost his sense of fun, become boring, lost his passion and is just going through the motions. That’s what I’m seeing in my pictures. Now I’ve got to work out, do I want to change him and if so, how?

Oh boy was I in for a shock …

Day 43 of my 365 days project
