Portrait with possessions challenge.

[Seema]

A one off challenge to create a self portrait using your own possessions. This idea started a few weeks ago in a separate discussion thread involving @gavincci and @Weezilou but it has taken me a while to post the challenge. The inspiration came from this link

Take your pics between now and 19th June and tag them personaportrait and then the best 5 will go to a vote.

@soseema I just love that! I will see what I can do!

[Gwenllian]

This is brilliant! I thought about doing it with my work bag, but hadn't thought to include myself! I will see if I have time, would love to join in.

[Loopy-Lou]

Such a fabulous idea, they are brilliant such a great theme. What tag should we use? @soseema

[Seema]

@bizziebeeme use the tag 'personaportrait' - looking forward to seeing your shot.

@soseema I saw this a while ago and tried it with my son and his backpack, but didn't work how I wanted it to. So maybe I should try again.

[Seema]

@dibzgreasley yes please do

@soseema I saw the thread when it was first posted and it inspired me to do this:

The pocket knife, comb and money came out of Michael's pocket when he died. Since he always had a pen in his pocket I added one that was very similar to the type he used.

[Seema]

@k1w1 Christine - it's perfect.

[Louise & Ken]

@k1w1 What a moving image to have saved. What's wonderful about this project is to create a statement piece abut ourselves that might share something of who we are and what we feel inside... @soseema Thanks for picking up the ball... I like the idea of getting introspective...

[Hope D Jennings]

Inspired! Love it.Thx for the link to the images as a reference point.

[Hope D Jennings]

@k1w1 moving and lovely

[Hope D Jennings]

@soseema lol! I scrolled down to the animal images.what a hoot! I may do that too..even though I know it is it part of the challenge..it is wonderful

@soseema I don't normally enter challenges but I really like this one and will have to get my thinking cap on.

@k1w1 as Hope said 'moving and lovely'.

[Debs Stott]

I have loved this challenge, time consuming but enormous fun! Here's my first one: me and my handbag, different take on the layout and also arty ...

Here's mine. Do keep them coming.

[Berni Crumb]

@soseema asked me to do this challenge as part of the Get-Pushed-99 challenge. This is my attempt:

[Kiran]

@soseema Does the portrait need to be taken within the challenge period as well or can we use an old one?

[Seema]

@ikamera an old portrait is fine. Some people have used childhood pictures and some have only used possessions with no portrait at all.

Here's mine:

[Alexandra DG]

what a fabulous idea but it's not so easy to do :) maybe I'll try this too

[Seema]

@axika it is a good way to make a portrait - even though it's not a challenge any more but if you make one for your project please tag it and let me know.

[Alexandra DG]

@soseema ok, I will :)
