The Self Portrait Challenge

Jumping on yet another bandwagon, I know. Welcome to my newest blogging feature: The Self Portrait Challenge. Alice described it best. I think it is a great idea. The Self Portrait Challenge: an opportunity to show my ever-changing face. The challenge of this is not posing, which I'm prone to do in front of the camera. This is an attempt to catch those natural moments. Me. Raw.

Humor me while I blabber on about why I'm doing this. For me, this is about letting go of insecurities and a faulty self-image. As a woman, I am told how I am to look through a million different mediums. Mediums which, more often than not, tell me I look wrong. The SPC is about me owning my own body and my own face in my own way. No supposed rules. Who cares if I have blemishes or a double chin when I laugh? That is how I look. While I can think this, I don't always feel it. For me, this is about getting to a place where I feel it. Where that critical voice in my head just disappears. I hope that through the Self Portrait Challenge I can capture a piece of me at different spots along my life thread.

And so we begin. We'll call this one "Uncertainty".
