Long work day. Energy and creative reserves running low. Dipping back into a self-portrait from a week ago with a fresh run thru Plastic Bullet.

Day 87 of my 365 Project. Day 28 of "self-portrait" March. Most days it's still a bit of an energetic and creative struggle to keep with the project. I want to produce shots that I'm proud of and enjoy doing, but it remains difficult at the end of some days...

Always a tinge of melancholy when leaving Maui. This photo I took of my reflection in the Hawaiian Airline' window as we taxied. And, thus is the first 365 I've posted while still on the plane.

No "artsy" photo or special apps tonight. Just a fun photo @RoxanneDarling and I took yesterday at the Halona Blowhole on our way to Whole Foods in Hawaii Kai. The waves were huge and the blowhole was going off larger than we had ever seen.

> > > > Almost done with Self-Portrait (SP) March. Might continue it again later in the 365 Project but right now, I don't have the time to put into it each day that I would like.

Ran out of time and energy to take a photo today. This is from a couple weeks ago when I was playing with the SlowShutter app.

Thanks to the iPhone's excellent built-in HDR (high dynamic range) option on itss camera, this single photo clearly shows both the bright exterior through the windshield as well as my reflection in the visor mirror inside the dark car. Rox was driving on our way home from Lanikai Beach yesterday (78/365 - Recharging) and I got the idea to see if I could angle the visor in such a way that I could shoot both my reflection and the windshield without seeing the iPhone. This is my second try. The first try I was looking at the road instead of the camera reflected in the visor mirror.

@RoxanneDarling, Lexi (our awesome dog) and I were happy to get back to Lanikai Beach this morning for a recharging swim and a few minutes on the beach before a downpour swept across the beach. For this photo I placed my iPhone on one of the rocks and used the GorillaPod app's self-timer. Then I ran the photo through TiltShiftGen for the TiltShift effect.

16-18 hour work days. Phone calls from clients at 3:30am. More house showings, Broker's Opens, and our first offer on our house. It's all manageable and not the "bad" kind of stress. And I'm not complaining. It's all good. I'm just tired.
