4/60 - You should see me in a crown by Noukka Signe

1/60 - All that glitters is not gold by Noukka Signe Via Flickr: So. I got a new camera about a month ago. And I haven't used it that much. So I thought I'd challenge myself, and the only way I know how to is to pick up a self portrait project. So here we are. 60 days of summer throughout July and August (giving myself 2 slack days, ha!). It will be a project where I will experiment with self portraits that fit the person who I am today. Trying not to fall into the trap of repeating things I've done years ago. I'll try to challenge myself with editing and how I'm setting up a photo. Today, I took some gold foiled balloon letters and used them to frame myself. Here we are. Sorry you have to see my face again. I loved doing this so much though, even if it took me a bit to get comfortable again.

My Dreams Are Made Of Gold by Noukka Signe Via Flickr: A sort of sequel to my "Boston" photo. Still inspired by Augustana's "Boston": She said, I think I'm going to Boston I think I'll start a new life I think I'll start it over Where no one knows my name [...] I think I'll go to Boston I think that I was tired I think I need a new town To leave this all behind 

But I got the idea to do this sequel when Avicii's "Sunset Jesus" came on (I've been listening to his music a lot lately.):  My dreams are made of gold My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road, But I know My dream keeps fading 'til I get old Breathe for a minute breathe for a minute I'll be okay 

Either way. Here's my imaginary skyline of Stockholm, Berlin, Toronto, New York City and Boston. I wanted to fit more in but it got too crowded ;)

Dark Days by Noukka Signe Via Flickr: Little bit of self portrait therapy. It's like the past few days have just been filled with sad, bad or difficult news. At moments, it weighs heavy on me. Other moments, I find pleasure and hope in the little and good things. This life is quite the emotional roller coaster, isn't it?

From a distant past

I was looking back through my old photos and Project 365's. And I realized I kinda missed that girl. The one who was creative with what she had, whether that be a desk lamp, christmas lights or a window. That girl who just wanted to tell her story and show her emotions and use photography as a way to deal with life. And mostly.. the one who was less occupied with things looking good or pretty, as long as they were expressive and honest.

So here's a photo, working with what I've got (a torch light, holding it slightly behind me) and thinking of that girl I used to be.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with where I am. But looking back, I realize I can still learn from the kind of person I was back then.
