Every once in a while, when I see our weekly themes, an idea immediately comes to mind – something different – and although I think my interpretation “fits”, I’m not sure what others will think. This week was one of those times. I thought about a million other things that I could’ve done, but I kept coming back to this. Our theme?
{GROWTH}
It’s been a few weeks since I did a self-portrait, and although I don’t love them yet, I don’t mind them quite as much as I once did. My idea was to portray “personal growth”. It seemed appropriate, given the fact that getting in front of the lens and putting myself out there, has required some major growth on my part. Six months ago, you wouldn’t have caught me in front of the lens for anything. My, how things change
I actually wanted to do a more creative self-portrait this week, to really show what I want to convey, but time got away from me… not to mention all the rainy weather. I’ll save that for another post!
Next up are the ever-talented Stacy and Aldo of D’Lara Photography in Downer’s Grove, IL. I hope you’ll join me in checking out how they each interpreted our theme this week! There are several other photographers participating this week, and I hope you’ll visit their blogs as well!
faye, this is a great shot. i totally understand the growth it takes to get in front of the camera but girl you have conquered it. way to go!!!!
Good for you for doing another self portrait! It’s a great interpretation of the theme. And it’s ok if you didn’t get to do the shot you wanted, the important part is that you have a shot of your RIGHT NOW, and you’ll always remember how you felt when you took it. Also, great skin and colours on this!!
Great job at growing and getting in front of the camera.
Good job! I still don’t like doing self portraits, so way to go! LOVE LOVE LOVE your macro shots too, by the way. You have a real gift!
This is great- I wish I was as good as you at this. You have done a great job at growth!
good for you! is it getting any easier to be on that side of the lens???
i’m so proud of you! i love your take on the theme… and love that i’ve been able to watch you grow… keep up the great great work!!
