Self Discovery

At the beginning of September, I started a mini project to take a self portrait every day for 30 days. I didn't quite get one every day, but managed to stop cringing every time I saw the result.
Really, I'm more comfortable behind the camera - I think it's the control freak in me. But after this exercise, I'm not as camera shy.

I've decided to continue my Self Portrait Challenge, on a weekly basis. It will continue to be just that, a challenge, and maybe I'll discover more about me in the process.

    What a fun idea - I'm going to suggest it to my son, as I'd sure like one photo a day of the little fellows.
    We'll all feel we know you a little by the end of the month!

    LOVE this! You are capturing such beautiful REAL photos. You're a beautiful person inside and out!

    I'm continuing my self portrait project as well. I'm still cringing at the majority of my shots, but maybe as time passes it will get better? Guess we'll see. ;)

    What a cool idea, only I would like it of one of the grands and not myself.

    Shirley! I love this. Seriously. So many great shots of you and each one unique. I wish I was as bold as you. I think I might have to try something like this. =)
