Bounced on to Jonathan Keller's wierd and wondeful daily photo project. Simple concept: take a picture of yourself every day for the rest of your life and see what happens. It just struck as kind of Andy Warhol: 15 minutes of fame. Kinda what much of this weblog thing is. [Aside: it's also about shouting (sometimes in to a void). But, that's another post.

Like the person said in the Jonathan's faqs, I had the same idea too, sometime ago, but... Well, for a start there was no internet and no digital cameras.

I have to ask Jonathan how does he manage to have the same expression every day?

On a separate note, Jonathan spent some time in Antarctica - which is cool. Agh! Anyway, I've been reading quite a lot of Arctic and Antarctic stuff recently, including Shackleton's "South" and Fleming's "Ninety Degrees". I probably won't ever get south.

Furthest North? Fairbanks, Alaska
somewhere north of fairbanks - the antlers aren't mine

and Snaesfell, Iceland.
snaesfell - gateway to the centre of the earth

Furthest South? Hmm. Singapore.
singapore sling, anyone
