Project report "Natural Tan"

If you have followed us along you are aware of our little project called "Natural Tan". Although this idea already has quite a long beard in the www- and youtube-world we still wanted to do it as a memory for ourselves. We take 1 picture of us everyday. This will add up to around 250 pictures after 126 days of travelling.

The goal is to be able to see how we transform from

Sep 2009-office people

(as in ... pale, hotel rooms, deadlines, commuting, long office hours, rainy weather)

into Jan 2010-holiday enjoyers

 (as in ... tanned, campervan, "campground reception closes at 7pm", "it is only 350km on the road today!", "11:45 pm: I quickly put those last pics on facebook", "Thank God, we bought the Icebreakers").

 You see there is a small big difference ;-)

So far we have gathered a collection of 136 pictures and uploaded 30 new pictures today.

The truth is: Smiling portait pictures somehow all look the same. And the transformation is not obvious if you see yourself every day. The pictures even prove that there are days where you simply don't look like yourself. If you are lucky you look like your brother or your mum. If you are not so lucky or the weather is too awful for too long you simply look ... äh, let's say ... "a little off the track" with a weird face, awful hair/beard-do or amazingly tourist-style socks (I am not tagging these, go search for yourself ;-) ).

Also a truth is: We haven't been to a beach with bikini weather since Nov 27, 2009 as it turned out to be winter again in NZ. So, please could everyone send a little sun down to New Zealand? Thank you!
