1,000 Faces

Project 15 - Day 109

It is time to unveil self-assignment number 2. I know that the eleven of you have been waiting with bated breath for this announcement. (Exactly what is bated breath? All that comes to mind for me is a fish hook with a wiggling worm dangling from the end of some poor soul's lip.)

Drum roll please.....self-assignment number 2 is....... 1,000 Faces.

Over the course of the next several years I am going to make an assertive effort to photograph 1,000 different faces. Faces of all ages. Faces from many different places. Interesting faces. Cooperative faces. (Did you get that family?) I will post new additions periodically here, on my award-winning blog site. Unlike the Sunday Stroll, updates will be random. Like, whenever I get around to it.

It's not an original idea. I borrowed it, from here. I don't think she would mind but I do want to be fair, full disclosure and all.

This is a warning. Family and friends and all eleven blog readers beware. You are on THE list. You will be photographed. It may not be willingly, but you WILL be photographed...sometime...somewhere. It is best to be cooperative and friendly. After all at some point your portrait will be part of an amazing collection. Now isn't that something to look forward to?

Let's get started.


Wes

Wes is a college friend of Chris'. He's a fun loving guy with a quick smile and doesn't mind spending all day on the water fishing.


Ben

Ben is the elder half of the visiting nephews. We had the pleasure of spending Monday morning with them and their aunt and uncle enjoying the beautiful Gulf waters. Ben will be a senior in high school this year back in his home state of Michigan. He's a handsome guy, a little on the quiet side but I'm sure that drives all the girls crazy.


Clay

Clay is the younger of the visiting nephews. Clay, much like his uncle, is outgoing and full of fun. Both boys are football players and predict a winning season for their team this year.
