Solstice Project, First Shot, June 2006


Since the summer of 2006, when I graduated from college, I've taken self portraits on the summer and winter solstice of each year. I decided to photograph my evolving self on the turning points of the year, days that always stirred something inside me.
After 5 years I had a nice little collection to show... Each photo should capture something about where I was and what I was up to at the time. For example, the first was taken when I worked as an art model which was why I chose to pose nude - for the blog I chose the blurred shot so as to be family friendly. We can just decide that the motion blur speaks to my rapidly changing life at that point in time. My new diploma from Shepherd University is in the corner as well as some framed photos from my senior art show, and I'm sleeping on the floor- no mattress to speak of ..yet. Other images posted below in chronological order.
