Me Every Week: Monday 12 - 18 December: Black & White

December 12th, 2011
This is the twenty-second official Monday of this challenge!
Make a self-portrait every week, based on a new theme.
The new theme will be posted on Monday.

This last week was all about dogs. Lara picked the winner and it's me, Geertje K. ( @geertje ) with this strange and funny picture:

It really is true, what an honour, thanks!

It was such a fun, sweet challenge last week! But the pickins were very slim. Do we need to end this or are you all going to join again? I hope so!

This weeks selfies must be based on Geertje's choice: Black & White
I think there are a lot of sides to yourself and you ain't only B&W, but sometimes it's a challenge to show yourself that way. I myself always have a hard time making the decision to go B&W, so this is a challenge for me as well!

I think it's going to be a really cool challenge, let's see our colour-deprived side!!! ;-)

And this weeks selfies are again also date-restricted. You only can take and post them until late Saturday evening or Sunday morning, depending on where you live! Then I will pick the winner and he or she can choose the new theme for next week.

You can post your self-portrait in this thread and tag it with monday-sp22.

Have fun!!! I'm sure we all will show our Black & White side this week!

Congrats Geertje. I really don't want this challenge to finish as I do enjoy taking part when I have the time. Last week was iffy for me. I haven't any animals in fact I'm highly allergic but I see how you managed to incorporate it into your own portrait...freaky but very clever I have to say ;o) Obviously with Christmas around the corner we're all very busy but I think I may be able to take part in this week's challenge xx

@psychographer Thanks, those kind of comments keep me motivated in running this challenge!

@geertje I think I will finally try one on here, I now own a real proper tripod so I have no more excuses. I hope you continue this through next year because one of my goals for Year 2 is to do more challenges and less randomness.

Black and white selfies? I MAY have a go at this.

I have been a little uninspired and trying to figure out a new camera as well as preparing for Christmas so I have lapsed on my ME EVERY WEEK. You suggestion for a theme this week is broad enough that inspiration should come easier and you do such a great job of monitoring, Geertje. I am sure you get tired of it too but you are doing a great job with it so I want you to know I appreciate your dedication!!!

@grammyn Beautiful!

@geertje LOL! Thanks, Geertje. It is pretty much au naturel for this one!
December 12th, 2011
@grammyn I know, but I really like the mood and focus in this one!
December 12th, 2011
@geertje You are too kind!
December 12th, 2011
@geertje Your winning photo was fabulous! So creative and out-of-the-box (I so hate using that seriously over-used phrase, but it certainly applies to that photo!)... really wonderful and fun!

Congrats Geertje. And I love the theme. B&W self portraits are my favorite!
December 13th, 2011
@geertje - Congrats on a wonderful edited photo! Very creative!

Armed and Ready!
My mission today...10 dozen cookies, all the same kind, wrapped in dozens and ready for a cookie exchange at my friend's house. I'm ready! Bring it on!!!

More of a sepia tone than B&W, but close enough! :)

unlike shadows, I LOVE black and white with hard contrasts...

Hello all,
I'm pretty new at this but I'll give it a go too. This is not new so it doesn't really belong but.......I'll be current for the next one.
