Just dawned on me... January 27th, 2011 will mark 5 years. I'm going back to color and trying to come up with a new set up. Never thought this would go on so long. At this point, it seems it would be silly to stop. I wonder if I appear to be aging or changing at all. I am excited to see all of this in 10 years/20 years/and on. I wonder where we'll all be.

730 days straight...
I just had my two year mark with daily self portraits.
Decided to smile for the occasion.
