I considered “a photograph of a different part of my body every day for a year” but I thought that might make people upset, even if I restricted myself to decent areas.

Next year’s photographic project will be a variant on the concept of PAREIDOLIA: “things that might possibly look like faces, but not really”. Here’s an example.
This needs an technical title. Some options:
• Quasipareidolia
• Pseudopareidolia
• Patapareidolia
Any suggestions?

Typewritten note: The algorithm will always be biased in favour of photorealism and art that demands less time to interpret and engage with. Let's all do weird abstract stuli.

Typewritten note: Looking back on my life, a gruesome truth becomes clear: everything I've ever achieved was done in a panicky scramble the night before it was due.

With paprika, and spicy heat
But you don't really care for sausage
