The Reject Pile

I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on a self-portrait photo project – a self portrait every single day for one year. Today I went back through the reject pile for some of the more ridiculous outtakes.

There is a common theme with many of these photos…don’t ask me how, but I manage to take a photo of myself before I’m ready. That, my friends, is a rare and stupid talent.

Reason: Ike was ready, but he wasn’t the guy I wanted in the photo.

Reason: I don’t need to take a photo showing how annoyed I was during the photo shoot.

Reason: Not only was I not in this photo, but Abe took one of the zeros off the wall and ran off with it.

Good times.

  4. It is a rare and stupid talent! Your outtakes are hilarious, I can just picture you fiddling with the camera in a few of those.

  12. Great photos! But I think I liked the last one the best… it’s your commentary that makes it so good.

    Thanks for sharing, some people would find that hard to do!

    Love you blog and photos (as always)
