Game (Sort of): 30 Day Self Portrait

(I'm not sure exactly how related this is to "techie" stuff, but it involves a digital camera and a photo-editing program like GIMP, Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.)

Essentially this game is a self-based game, no competition or anything only aimed at your satisfaction. You take a picture of yourself every day for 30 days and edit it to your liking and post it in a special album on your page entitled "30 Day Self Portrait" for each one of those 30 days (so one a day). Now to be a good sport about it you should post the link here for us to observe. If you don't due one for a day than you are considered to have "quit" the competition unless your reason was due to an illness or something.

I think just to kick off this thing we set a universal start date and let everyone gather their ideas. So how about next week, March 10 be our starting date? From that date the competition would end on Sunday April 8. If you wish to participate simply post here saying that you are with the link to your album that you'll be posting your self portraits in. Hopefully we'll all have fun with this :-p

Sounds like a fun game. I'll see if I'll be able to join.

Update:

I made an album. I hope you'll like it: http://my.opera.com/drlaunch/albums/show.dml?id=215480

I uploaded it in time before midnight. And to everyone who haven't joined the game. C'mon! Join us. It's easy to play and very fun. If you can't use photoshop, paint shop, the gimp or something like that, use Picasa for Windows and Linux. Or use iPhoto for Mac OS.

Crap, I missed today as well. I woke up at 3 PM (dunno how!) and forgot. I was too busy setting up my chroma keying. Well, I guess this contest is now dead lol.

Lol. Actually I'll probably forget again. I'm about to film a Final Fantasy/Star Wars parody this weekend (it's going to suck because I'm only going to film for about 2-4 hours without pre-scripting it or anything) and then I'll be spending the rest of the weekend editing it with light saber effects and junk. But I guess I'll continue starting next week again.
