A few years back (in the heyday of Flickr groups) I finished a couple of 52 week projects focused on self portraits. I ultimately took on the 365 project after completing those, but no way could I keep those self portraits. How many times can you process a photo of your own face, you know? But looking back on those couple of years documented got me thinking I should pick up a self portrait project again to see how I age. I'm going to do a monthly portrait so as to not overdo the "selfies" and how much do we really change week to week? So this is January... Am I the only one that makes funny faces when taking portraits?

Just an average Saturday - was traveling for work on Friday... Trust me, nothing to see at Newark airport.
42
Today I turn 42. When I tell people my age they are as surprised as I am. Oh trust me, there are days that I know I am in my 40's! I have gained 5 lbs that seem to want to stick around, got to experience a colonoscopy (thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), have developed essential tremor because my job has finally gotten the best of me. And oh yeah, just ordered my first pair of progressive lens glasses (sigh). So yeah ... I am in my 40's. But then there are the fun things that keep me young - lots of live music, travel, photography and fabulous friends that keep me active and out and about! So what do I say to 42? Let's do this thing!

I have decided to do my ten photos on a weekend even when the tenth falls on a weekday because on a day like today, I wouldn't even be able to think about taking a photo I was so busy at the office. Besides, the weekends are way more photogenic! So this is my Sunday : woke up to John Legend singing me "good morning" : brunch with my amazing friend Laura who just finished her last round of chemo (yay!) and I had to get a photo of her in the adorable pink monkey cap - on loan from a friends daughter (how sweet is that?) : took a little photo walk downtown and captured a couple of spots I have been searching for - this view of where all the L train lines come together (love) : then some shopping at West Elm, and Jayson Home (oh this place is a designers dream) where I picked up a beautiful little fern and a succulent - had no idea they aren't to be watered and are to just die after a few months (hmmm) : picked up some pastries at Patisserie Coralie for dinner and then logged a little sofa time with Phoebe and the housewives of ... (wink)
