After months of self-loathing, hating my body, my skin, my tattoos, wanting to hide, struggling with consistency, I embarked on a self-imposed challenge to take a single, artistic self portrait per day for an entire month. No cheating, no skipping, no expectations of how good they would be. 

Just one image per day. To prove to myself I could. To try techniques I'd only dabbled with. To overcome challenges, play with lighting, concepts, poses, editing, and really, to overcome my own self-doubt.
