This book is a compilation of self-portraits taken during my time with the 365 Days project (a/k/a "The Year I Caved In To Digital"). Featured techniques include TTV, expired Polaroid, and low-resolution digital. Over the course of one year, these images track an exploratory path through formalism in portraiture, and back towards a more expressive mode of gaze.
