Last October, Portland based 17 year old photographer Brendon Burton began an ambitious project in which he committed to creating one self-portrait every day for a year. Now, half a year later, Burton is still going strong and his Flickr photo-stream is full of beautiful and creative images that show his development as a photographer. 

When a lot of people think of self portraits, they think of a simple image showing their own face, not doing anything particularly exciting. For a 17 year old to come up with such creative images, and to display them online is really inspiring. From looking at this site, I have decided to produce my own self portrait project starting at the beginning of next year. I do not want my series of work to be boring or tedious to the viewers. I want it to portray me as a person, through the environment that I am photographed in, the clothes I am wearing and my expression from day to day; just as Burton has done here.
