52 Week Challenge: Week 52 / Dec 23rd – Story Telling: Self-Portrait

[Mel]

Hi all,

Tomorrow, Monday December 23rd brings us into Week 52 of the Dogwood Photography 52 Week Challenge, and completes the challenge for 2019 – well done to all who stayed the course, and thanks so much for taking part!
The theme for this week is:

Story Telling: Self-Portrait
In the first week you took a self portrait and told us who you think you are. To finish this off take a self portrait that shows us who others think you are.

About the Story Telling category:
Good photographers can take beautiful images of something. Great photographers can tell a story with an image. In this category you will take a prompt and turn it into a photographic story.

Use the tag 52wc-2019-w52 when you’re uploading your images to 365, along with any of the following tags which are recommended on the Dogwood Photography challenge page here

dogwood52
dogwood2019
dogwoodweek52

And of course, do feel free to share your photos here in the comments.

Images tagged for Week 52 can be seen here

And you can see last week’s images here…

Thanks for keeping this going Mel... I totally fell off the on this but want to try again next year... only I’m wondering if there will be a next year? The Dogwood site doesn’t seem to be working?

[JackieR]

I have loved doing this challenge and fell off other challenges, but not this one. Thank you for the weekly notifications, I've learnt so much about photography doing this. Merry Christmas Mel. X

[Richard Brown]

@m2016 as per @northy sentiments. Thanks for doing this I've not done every one but it has been a useful inspiration at times.

[Mel]

@northy @30pics4jackiesdiamond @rjb71 No problem guys, I enjoy keeping it going even when I'm not taking many pics myself.

As for next year - I don't know, I've noticed that the Dogwood site is down and has been for a while... what I'll probably do is shoot Dale an email and see if there's a list for 2020.

[Rob Z]

I would like to add to the comments already made - it was so good of you to keep us updated all year. It was (to me) much harder than last year but I'm really pleased to have been able to complete the full year. So many thanks again! :)

[Wendy]

Thank you so much for doing this, Mel!
I had every intention of doing this but, like northy, fell of the wagon early. I sure hope there is a next year for me to redeem myself!
