Day 360 of 365 days.

When I started this project I thought that by day 10 I’d be resorting to 11:59pm cameraphone photos. 360 days in and that still hasn’t happened yet.

But I didn’t have a great idea for a shot today, and I thought "you know, I should get one of those in." But that felt kind of lame. So I thought "maybe I could try a myspace style shot." That also seemed boring. But that made me start thinking that maybe it’d be neat to take something with photobooth, the Mac’s built-in webcam application. I thought all of the shots with that were boring as well. But I thought it’d be kind of neat to experiment with the filters that come with it, and I decided I liked this one best.

Just to show how much of a photogeek I am, I have to point out that even though I took this with my built-in iSight webcam, I still did it under studio lighting with my backdrop. It’s a lot harder to hold a laptop up and take a pic in a studio than you might think.

    ooooo aaahhhhh, you know I love those PS filters! So does this mean I have to wait until I have less than 10 days left before I can start using them? 🙂

    @lrayholly: yep… no filters for you. 😛 actually, this isn’t even a PS filter. it’s built into Photobooth.

    @Mikey/MDDunn Photography: what? I was really just being lazy.
