Self portrait as a start for a new project

Decided to make a self portrait directly after my run. In some way it must be possible to see it back in the portrait. There must be a possibility to see a change in the eyes. To find out if it's true or false, I'd like to take some portraits. I'm looking for persons who'd like to run with me or do some other sports and have a photo taken before and afterwards. It doesn't matter how good you are, as long as you try to challenge yourself and aim high (faster, longer, better).
Didn't make the self portrait before running. This one is made just after the run.

Open Your Eyes (working title) (1)

It all started with a picture. Call it a lucky shot, call it inspiration, call it whatever you want to call it. There's more behind the picture than I knew when I shot it. There's more behind the girl than we can see in the picture, though the picture itself gives away some clues.
This project will be about Rebecca, a girl who's currently blind but whose vision has been there till her 19th. She knows the colors, the forms and when you describe things well, she can actually see it. The idea behind the project is to open the eyes of the ones who need it. To inspire people who are open to it. To give hope to those who despair. The result of it will be available as a book, though I still don't know how big and what price it will be. Doesn't matter for now, the project has just begun. I will keep you informed about the progress.

More news will be updated on this blog!

this shot was taken at the Elf Fantasy Fair and was the beginning of it all. How to find a girl without having a name and just having this picture? Besides.. Would a blind girl have facebook? Email? Found her within 26 hours after this picture has been taken. Love the world we live in!
