Nice test with your equipment. Keep the inspiration coming Seatle Supersonic!
I love these, Sarah! Love the grain and I even like the banding - I think it's cool. Picture #7 looks like Flight of the Conchords guys. I predict it may be your last night as the "only" female at that table.
@Lynda :) not a silly question at all. Lets just put it this way... I have one of those "obnoxiously over-sized" purses that I just throw my body and lens in. No special bag for evenings out like this. Just a good ol' fashion oversized purse!
silly question maybe, but how do you guys tote around your camera when you go out for drinks/dinner like this? i bought a camera bag that looks like a purse, but i think it's still too bulky and awkward, and i'm bummed that i can't fit a body into my shootsac... curious to know what you all do?
I'm always stuck with all boys at dinner too! And I also adore my mkII except I'm a bit more addicted to our 50 1.2 than I am to our 35 1.4. I kind want to get the 24 1.4. I feel its our last missing child or something. ;)
I've gotten so used to maxing out at 1600 usable ISO with my 5D, i will be spoiled rotten when i finally get the 5D mark ii in a few weeks! woohoo!
oh, and amazing images, as always :)
Sarah, so fun! Hanging out with my brother and his friends is like therapy for me. I laugh so hard and just love boys. Way more fun than girls, no? Especially artsy ones! We should probably get more single artsy guys up here in Langley, BC. Probably. Send a few up, k? k.
Single guys, huh? Well, recently single girl here says, "Hi." ;)
Great photos, though. Loving the candid shots. And it looks like the candle light worked out!
Hahaha sounds like a fun night! That last picture of Tyler cracks me up :P ...ps. I want that camera!!!
What? SINGLE GUYS?! (booking my ticket to Seattle NOW.) :D
We all need to do more life documenting- funny how we document the most important parts of other people's lives, but don't document enough of our own. Definitely something I need to work more on. Thanks for the inspiration :)
my two favorite pieces of equipment. great post. I have been reading Love is the Killer App. and I can't put it down. Thanks for sharing it in a recent post!
these are fantastic. the 5D Mark II is rad, i can't wait to get one....you documented the evening beautifully.
These turned out really good! I like a little grain too...Looks like you guys had fun...Maybe a little too much fun, judging by the next to last shot..hehe :)
I LOVE the one of the guy taking out the trash! Talk about reality! :-)

I've always been scared of the "self-portrait"... but now, you - and your friends who've bravely taken their own self portraits - have inspired me. Thank you a hundred times for this post. They're beautiful.
I enjoy this post/collection so much, I bookmarked it for inspiration. Thanks. (And, yes, I've been visiting every week or so since you posted it.)
This is such a fab idea! I'm in!! Awesome self-portraits!!!
The last ones my favorite! the last ones my favorite!
This is a really great project,it was interesting to see all the different ways people see themselves. Such creativity!
All I kept thinking while looking at these images was how beautiful each person was. How everyone is beautiful. My favorite image though was the man taking the trash out. I need to get that shot of my husband!
Love this project. Thanks for putting this together here.
This is such a great post. To see such a great collaboration of photographic effort put in for a single theme...ahh, so interesting and unique, and happy to be a part of. Thank you for sharing.
awww, these look so great. i love this post and can not wait to do more through out the year!
I love all of the creative self portraits - what a fun assignment. Nice work everyone!
This is such a beautiful collection! The significance of what you are referring to is seen so clearly by it. Thank you for allowing us to participate. So much respect for you guys!
This was always my favorite assignment (self portrait) to give my photography students back when I was an art teacher. This is a lovely collection of moving images. Can't wait to see more throughout the year.
love love! these photos are amazing...exhilarating to see mine in the mix! thanks for the opportunity to bear our souls!
What an honor, thanks for including me! So inspiring to see the creation of others!
I love this idea~ Its so good to challenge yourself and get in front of the camera for a self portrait! I am excited to rise to the challenge! Thanks for sharing!!
wow. you guys ROCK.
thanks for taking the time and sending us also an e-mail.
very inspiring work. Evelyn
What an amazing collection! I loved the idea! I could use all those self portraits to decor my walls =)
What an honour to be included in your blog post....Thank you!! :-) There are some absolutely fantastic shots here!! :-)
yea-yeah! fun to be in the mix. some great self portraits here!
These are all so awesome! Thank you for posting my portrait, and especially for your kind email! It means a lot that you took the time to reply! :)
This is a beautiful post. It's such an inspiration to see so many creative faces. Thanks for including me.
Ahhh Sarah and Chris... you have made my year... already! 4th January...that's pretty good going even if I do say so myself! Pretty amazing to be sat amongst such a talented group. Thanks for being a daily inspiration. x x
Yay! Thank you so much for including me! Loved all the photos!
Extremely honored and humbled to be part of this project (and to be on the infamous Rhoads blog :)...keep up the fantastic art Sarah & Chris, you're an inspiration.
Thank you so much for putting some of my photos up, guys! I have never felt so honored and I mean that!
Hey Rob looks like you overlooked it, if you look at the text there is a list of all the 65 photographers as well as links to those who have websites.
I wish you had posted the names and URLs for all of these photographers ...
I'm honored to be among such gorgeous photos. Everyone's portraits are seriously amazing!
Such a beautiful idea! I would love to share my self portraits with you through out the year!
Just Wonderful!
this post is such a great idea, i am totally down with 52 portraits a year. i have heard of 365, but i think 52 is much more manageable with the same impact!
Wow. These are amazing! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Wow! If anyone came into this post feeling uninspired, I am positive they didnt leave that way.
yikes. these are all so inspiring and challenging! I need to quit being such a pansy and do some self-portraits too. (oh, and the one where the 2nd picture was a closer-up? totally freaked my brain out. i'm the kind of person who thinks a restaurant with a wall of mirrors has an extra room. totally cool! Eliesa Johnson, I think.)
Breathtaking and inspiring.....it fills my heart up knowing there's all this creation and expression in the world!
Wow. Thanks so much for sharing these! I'm putting the self portrait project on my list of resolutions/goals. I can't wait to look back at my life in pictures at the end of this year and see where I've come from. Thanks for inspiring me.
wow -- these are all fantastic! so many beautiful people out there in the world. great idea -- and a great response!
These are amazing! It's so wonderful of you to put this post together! Seriously, you always inspire and are by far one of my favorite photographers. I wanted to try a self portrait from the last time you wrote about it but I slacked so now I'm thinkin' I'll definitely get to it!
what a cool series of shots! love love love that yellow phone.
Wow-what a great collection for 2009! Amazing really. You two are always so busy having fun and making cool art. Thanks for your earlier posts on your favorite business books, I REALLY enjoyed that and went straight to Amazon to order a few. Keep the reviews coming as you plow through more books in 2010!
Thanks again!
amazing images sarah! my favourite is the one of the guy twirling the girl in the boots around, it's stunning! happy 2010!
Only 220, Sarah? :) I could've brought another 220 to your attention that were absolutely out of this world. Good work sneaking those three of you in there, Chris, I loved those shots of you. Can't wait to see what you bring to fruition this year... congrats on all your success and all that is still to come!
stunning work. Happy New Year. we can't wait to see what 2010 brings to the two of you. :)
Happy New Year Chris and Sarah!
Thank you for being part of our first year of married life! We look forward to more fun dinners and geeking out with you guys :)
all awesome and really reflected your clients personality and your connection with your clients.
What an amazing year you've had. And we've loved keeping up with you along the way.
Here's to an even more incredible 2010.
Cheers
Steve & Evelyne xx

Chatuchak is one of my favourite places in the world - I love that you caught one of the many, many wacky sights you see there - I don't love that I'm now lusting after a trip to Thailand!!!
you never cease to amaze. Thanks for opening your heart up to all of us readers and sharing such a personal part of your very own story. I'm continuously inspired by you. :)

you are truly beautiful, Sarah. Thank you for being a constant inspiration to create and dream. you are the epitome of following your heart--- thank you!
@Laura Chris and I read this Friday night while we were out getting some drinks with friends and we started DYING laughing! "Orange you gonna give me some soup!" PERFECT! lol.
Haha! such a cute pic, Sarah. I wish you could have seen this dog, spray painted purple, on a motorcycle (paws on the handlebars and all:) that would always be at the market on our street. It would just sit on the motorcycle, waiting for its owner. I have a pic, but it's just a little snapshot I took (aka terrible quality). So funny that the Thais do that!
The future's bright.... the future's orange.
(This only works if you guys have Orange as a network for your mobile phones over there... in the UK this is their slogan and everyone knows it.. ha... I've now probably completely ruined it by trying to explain it!)
"I should've known he'd be coo-coo for cocoa puffs!"
delightful & amusing!!! just what i needed to put a big smile on my face.
"orange you gonna give me some soup?"
"Keep on movin, no circus here."
"Take a picture it will last longer!" haha hilarious pictures.
What!?! Don't hate the playa hate the game!
Match.com at its very best!
Nice dye-job!
Lady and the Tramp?

Even the ear color fits, I guess, I solved it ;)
Hehehehee....."But you told me Orange was your favorite color"
haha LOVE this picture so much.
haha LOVE this picture so much.
haha LOVE this picture so much.
"Maybe they should call it 'Mis-Match.com'..."
I love this picture. It's so wonderfully absurd.
"That is the LAST time I leave my poor Muffy alone with my beauty school dropout daughter."
omg! this is so funny, and i love the captions so far.
"Finish your soup already. Don't you think I've waited long enough to get my roots done!?"
That's the best I've got. Fantastic image.
I love that the dog is looking away and the man looks kind of mad. Like he just said something the dog didn't want to hear.
Dog: 'But I thought you'd like the orange!'
"sit, stay, play...fashionista?"
Amazing :)
I want a dog like that with orange ears. Where can I get him? ;)
that . is . amazing!
"Spunky with a lot of flare, said her E-harmony profile.
love this shot Sarah, the colors are fantastic.
that is so hilarious, great capture!!
Omg I love it!!
