There is something very raw about a self portrait - very exploratory. It is kind of interesting to take your own image. This is something I have explored since I was a teenager in photography classes in high school. It has always intrigued me. So I had this idea that the SIGN IN for my traveling JOURNEY fat book journal would be an interesting process. So here is mine and I kind of like it in fact I do. what do ya think? The next piece is the inside cover of the journal. I really love these colorful butterflies which I am using lately in my work. I often get in these grooves where I often use the same images or like materials over and over until I am on to something new. I also love the turquoise paper from India in the back of the self portrait which I pick up at the Paper Post - an awesome store in Agoura, Ca.
oooohhh - I like the self portrait even if you do look a tad stern (which I KNOW you are not!!)
Nice work. This will be a challenge for me!!!
