The Self Portrait Project

I receive got decided to create a weekly photograph dump for the Thirty-Day Self Portrait Challenge rather than Weekend Diaries, simply for this month. This weekend I was, rather unfortunately (thinks me), struck downwardly yesteryear a malicious migraine that even too hence simply won't allow go. As a result, I missed 2 days of photos. To laid things dorsum on course, I'm going to pretend that I truly started the projection on May 1, too larn from there.

So does anybody out at that spot desire to play along? It promises to move a profound experience. Already, solely 5 days in, I'm pondering deep questions virtually how I truly experience virtually my appearance too others' perceptions of said appearance.

I idea my fourth dimension every bit a blogger had cured me of my long held belief (born of an awkward adolescence too certainly features) that I wasn't photogenic, too that perchance I simply wasn't attractive at all. Yet I've industrial plant life myself hesitating to accept self portraits on the spur of the moment, simply every bit I am. Because I'm even too hence afraid. Afraid of what the icon volition tell me.

Aren't nosotros women crazy creatures?! I tin nation that, too you lot can, too, if you're a woman. But boot the bucket on it to yourself if you're not.

I've also been feeling creative growing pains. It's non too hence slow to capture repeated images of oneself, basically from a attain that ends at arm's length, too even too hence boot the bucket on it interesting. Growing pains are ever a proficient sign, though, always, too hence I'll accept it.
