We headed for Northern Michigan yet again yesterday, with today's Staley-Bennett Reunion at Boyne City as our main objective. We caught up with Joan's sister (Pam) and niece (Sarah) at Petoskey State Park on Saturday, and Joan shot this pic while we were exploring the beach. Had a pleasant evening built around an excellent dinner at Petoskey's Rio Grand Steakhouse. Looks like I think I look. Photo by Joan Bennett

This would be me, aging before your very eyes.... On my fiftieth birthday, my colleagues threw me a party. Since I expected it, I brought my camera. Not sure who took the picture, but Vicky Dittmer was ringleader for the mess in the office. Picture taken 2/27/1999 Camera: Nikon N90s

Me, when I was younger and still thin, balancing on my bike in front of the old Student Union at Macalester College. The jersey advertises Cycle City, sponsor of the Kalamazoo Bicycle Club's racing team. Photo by Tim Haviland in the summer of 1981. (This is the bike I just restored .)

The first Flickr 365-daily-photo efforts I was aware of were all self-portrait projects. The first I closely followed was starpixie's --which was creative in ways I hadn't imagined possible (all in all, I just adore Beth, though her Flickr stream's grown dull). I, on the other hand, rarely photograph myself, and when I do the pix usually turn out stiff and boring. But last February I was using a camera designed for self-portraiture, so for one day I turned the lens my way. I'm sure I'd be a better photographer if I'd put m'self through a selfie project--I'd learn about effective posing, and I'd likely acquire a bunch of technical tricks I'd find useful elsewhere. But I fear I'm not that interested.... ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
