Ahh! I haven't posted in forever, and I'm seriously sorry for that.
I've been busy on my
Flickr, where I've started a 365 self portrait challenge.
It's been an amazing experience, and I'm already on day 113.
So, I guess I should catch this blog up on what's been going on, though-
On June 21st, I started my 365, with a selective black and white.

Colorful Yet Blank. |
It's kind of crazy to think about how long ago that was now..
On June 25th, four days later. I splattered paint on my face.
Which turned out to be my first ever "Explored" picture on Flickr.

Painty. |
That picture got 167 views in over night- and gained me 672 views in one day.
18 days later, I was in Minnesota for two weeks-
And made one of my favorite pictures to date.

My Wonderland. (Which got my second Explored.) |
I also happened to get Laryngitis,
which happened to inspire my pictures in a good way.

A Fly Away Story. |
On day 68, I had probably one of my memorable pictures ever.
The Outcasts got my third Explored, and won two Flickr group contests.

Did you know butterflies played in the rain? |
Day 76. I made one of my favorite pictures ever, probably.
Gluing stuff to my face has become one of my favorite things to do.

Day 89, I went on a three day cool picture spree.

She Sleeps With the Fireflies. |
For Just Breath, I went into the forest on the point at the lake for the first time.

Naturally. |
And five days, and 100 stars cut, 100 strings tied, and 100 holes punched later...
It was day 100.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vVOSjo1wDAepz2394JxvKJpfxaZrgzJnWr77tTDOfwpkR8wMUcvsSA7IvLom2BZoq92PsVijWch5_4wdYxXoXJCg1_IWA_fJBJZjfCOCnhHy4_MmQZ7gdqG03eU_dvIVvJjw=s0-d) |
100 Stars. |
That picture inspired lots of star-influenced pictures.

Stars Fall Back. |
And on day 107, I was back to my photoshoping craziness.

Keep your feet on the ground! |
And finally. Yesterdays picture. 112.
Which is probably one of my favorite pictures ever.

Flowers By The Windowsill. |
And, well, that concludes my catch-up post.
If you're interested in seeing any of the other pictures so far on my 365-
Will probably post later this week! I want to start blogging again.
Anyways-
