ME EVERY WEEK!!! Monday 1 August : BLUE...

August 8th, 2011
This is the Fourth official Monday of this challenge.
Make a self-portrait every week, based on a new theme.
The new theme will be posted on Monday.

It was so great to see all of your inspiring pictures last week, we did look magical!
Mimo ( @mimosa ) asked me if I wanted to start this topic for this month, so here is the new challenge.

This weeks selfies must be based on this weeks theme: BLUE
You can think of clothes, hair, make-up, eye-colour, processing, the feeling...
Thank you @marilyn Marilyn Wigen, for giving me this idea!

And this weeks selfies are also date-restricted. You only can take and post them this week!

You can post your self-portrait in this thread and tag it with monday-sp.

Have fun!!! I'm sure we'll all look colourful this week!

And just for me, if you have a great idea for the next challenge, please post it here, it will help me to keep this thread going!

@geertje nice theme, so many possibilities! You asked for a theme idea, how about "evil twin" ... Everybody is so nice here in 365, could be cool to see the evil side :-)
August 8th, 2011
@janmaki That's really cool! Thanks! Next week?
Or as my evil twin would say: Oh no, I'm way to good for that! ;-)
August 8th, 2011
ooh i have a great idea for today's picture,just need to set it up
August 8th, 2011

Thanks Geertje for your great work! Maybe this challenge belongs to you :)
August 8th, 2011
@mimosa I was thinking about that... But it was your idea to start with!
How long will this go on? No idea, I like it so far, any idea?
And that's a really cool blue-you!

My try on blue

August 8th, 2011
Here's mine for this week. I meant for my expression to be sad to portray a blue mood as well as a blue image but I'm not sure whether I succeeded :oS

August 8th, 2011
I found this week's theme hard! Maybe I'm just not creative but this is what I came up with:

August 8th, 2011

Loving all these creative "blue" ideas... I'm really feeling the pressure to perform well since the color theme was my idea! It doesn't help that I am out of town for the week so I will have to come up with something while away from all my own stuff... and my computer!
August 8th, 2011
@mimosa Great, as usual!
@smile4me Perfect :)
@psychographer LOVE your all blue take on the theme!
@mcdougall How can you even think you aren't creative... This is great!
@smevvy Welcome to the weekly selfies... Nice photo to start it off with. :)
@mandyashton Very nice!
@megc1 This picture almost mesmerizes me every time I look at it. Good job!

August 9th, 2011

My blue selfie this week.
I've added commentary as to where I got my inspiration with the photo on my page (just in case you're interested)

August 10th, 2011
@macaroniart i love it!
August 10th, 2011
@mandyashton I know!!!
August 10th, 2011
@geertje Just reminding you ;)
August 10th, 2011


Wanted to post the 6th August but didn't fit the dates ( I don't think :-)
August 10th, 2011
@macaroniart I love that pic!
August 10th, 2011
I struggled today with several different ideas -none of which really came to fruition. My original thought was to do a blue "moon" but i decided to save you all from that! ;>} This is what you get instead.
August 10th, 2011
@louisejb Thank you! You look beautiful in blue!
@halkia graag gedaan ;-) Love these shoes!
@macaroniart You look so happy when blue! Joyful selfie!
@kaylaspics You are beautiful! Great blue selfie!
August 10th, 2011
@rudit I hope you're acting the blues... You look great, even soaked!
@tashachawner I told you already, I really like this!
@glyn Really cool SC!
@grammyn A part of me still wants to see that moon, but ehrm, thanks for choosing another picture, I guess!

@smile4me very cute
@psychographer stunning
@mcdougall I think you are very creative
@smevvy good for your first effort
@megc1 awesome eyes!
@mommyof1 lookin' good!
@eliserose781 very cool interpretation
@geertje I totally love this as did many others on the popular page FAV! for me
@aitch2803 innovative idea!
@louisejb double blue in the clothes AND water!
@halkia so cute and so contemporary
@kaylaspics very nice
@rudit I tried this but it didn't work for me as it did for you.
@tashachawner This is like the pop art of the 60's! Neat.
@glyn Love the sharp blue from the bike and the subtler blues from the jeans
@sbb1980 cool especially with the reflection.
August 10th, 2011
@geertje thank you so much!! @grammyn thanks!
August 11th, 2011
@geertje - Thank You! :)
August 11th, 2011
@geertje Yes, it was my idea but you are doing amazing with it :) If I were you I would keep it going as long as you are inspired about and as long as there is response :)
August 11th, 2011
I am wearing my favourite blue earrings.... :)
August 11th, 2011
@grammyn thanks! you are so sweet. i think you are of to a good start there. selfies are hard for me. i am realizing it even more now. it is so much easier to work behind the lens. but this challenge is a good one to try i think. :)

Not the best attempt but if you read the "blurb" below it you'll see that I had a few reasons to post it (reason number 2 being the most important!).

August 12th, 2011
I was planning to take a selfie and process it into something funky and blue, but Marisa told me it was kismet or something that I was in Milwaukee with beautiful, blue Lake Michigan on blue selfie week, so I let her talk me into using the lake. I was just going to do the top one, but Marisa also had the idea of a selfie of me taking a selfie, so I set it up with my camera on the railing for a tripod and then had her be my "remote" by pushing the button when I got myself back into place. Then I had the idea of using both photos together. Coincidentally, the collage app on my iPad uses a blue background! I was kind of surprised at the difference in the color of the lake and the sky between my iPhone and my camera... sky much bluer on the iPhone and lake much bluer on the camera.
August 12th, 2011
@lluniau Nice take on both the "eye" and the "blue" themes.
@elke Very nice... as usual. :)
@deens Such a great selfie... love the very subtle use of blue.
@sbb1980 Nice... great reflection in the sunglasses.
@grammyn Nice earrings and nice shot.
@glyn Really like this... great use of the blues.
@tashachawner Very creative. I originally wanted to do something along this line, but if you read my "blurb" you'll see why I didn't.
@rudit Very clever take on "blue."
@kaylaspics Lovely selfie...
@halkia Such a great photo... Love it.
@louisejb This is a really nice shot.
@aitch2803 Love it... I thought about a toenail shot, but didn't have my blue polish with me on my trip this week.
@geertje Really beautiful... no surprise there!
@eliserose781 So artistic!
@mommyof1 Very nice... this photo kind of calms me every time I look at it... :)
August 12th, 2011
Love the photo's!!

Here's my entry. I don't know how to show the photograph so here's the link xx

@deens Your caption about the earring makes me laugh, but yes, it's blue and it's a selfie... ;-)
@elke Such a moody picture, love the dark blues!
