Prospect of insomnia

I can't sleep, so I took some pictures. I'm inspired by everything these days. I see something neat, get an idea and suddenly I've got a new set of pictures on my computer. But ironically enough my ideas never end up, as I imagined them. It's the beauty of taking pictures, you aim for one thing, and hits another thing, but somehow it end up being a lot better than the original idea (not always, but most of the time). I don't know if you've noticed, but I've begun to shoot a lot of self portraits. The good thing about self portrait's is that you're always available to yourself, if you need a model :) Haha.. You learn a lot about yourself too, I can highly recoment it. I've learned a lot these last couple of days, and I've pushed boundaries. I've been half naked in the wood of the making of THESE pictures (the "dress" I'm wearing isn't a dress, it's actually a velour sheet, so I had to wrap it around me - lol) I've been shooting in front of strangers, which was pretty awkward.........  And I've been shooting some friends, which doesn't sound like something, but I had to overcome my fear of a "No way?"-answer.. I'm proud of myself for doing all those things, and I had to admit it: I absolutely LOVE doing a effort for my pictures, and kind of "throw" a part of myself into it, and the fact that I've begun the 365 project, is just helping me being a better photographer. I'm completely in love with my camera, and I want it to stay that way...

Ps. I'm planning on doing that "wow-thing" i wanted to do because it was a thing which "scared" me... I don't know if it makes any sense, but I'm referring to THIS post.
