I was trying to participate in my friend Christina’s self-portrait Sunday. She requested her readers post an image of their faces partly shaded. I failed at the task but did spend some time in the sun looking at shadows, and that is not a bad thing. Not at all. In fact, I highly recommend it.
Christina is a beautiful writer, photographer, visual artist and blogger. She’s raising funds for what will be an amazing collection of essays accompanied by illustrations. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Go to her site and support her if you can. The world will be a better place because of it.
I’m taking a photography class next weekend. I can’t wait.
I always thought you were a little shady.
Hey! ANY self portrait goes girl! Anything a little out of the frame, blurry, shady, whatever. It’s really all about point and shoot. It’s so interesting what you notice about yourself when you start taking self portraits (and totally a bi-product of having a blog–where you want to share what you look like with your readers, but end up never having someone to take the photo!)
I love this series though and can’t wait to see what happens in photography class (I’ve always wanted to take one!)
