Hello World

My name is Shamus Collins. My wife came across a blog entitled "Creative Journey" by an artist named Myrna Wacknov. There is a link on that blog to another blog Myrna has created entitled "Drawn to the Mirror" and this is my point of interest. Myrna has set forth to create 365 days of self portraits that began on Jan. 1st. Well I am starting a little after the first of the year but I am going to make the same goal for myself. This sounds like a fun and inspirational way to force creativity. Let the fun begin.

85/365



This one ended up being slightly larger then I had planned. I was originally going to leave the hair off all together but it didn't feel right. Adding the hair increased the size so that it wouldn't fit on the scanner. It ended up looking a lot like 58/365, not my plan.

84/365 Strange Angle



This one is mostly focused on the hair. A different angle and everything else light shows the interest of the hair quite well, I think.
