Shades of Grey by helenhall

Shades of Grey

I do see everything in shades of grey, nothing is black and white to me - and even my strongest held convictions get questioned and interrogated from time to time.

Thought I had better get atleast one of my remaining selfies out of the way today, and since this messing around in photoshop does little to address any of the remaining themes that I have yet to fulfill - grateful, from a distance, surreal, hidden, love , joy, endings or beginnings, - I offer it for the final missing submission for 2018 52 week photographic project which was ' Creative: Self Portrait '

Phew. That year long project is now completed (although I cheated on week 49 and may come back to that - Captain Ahab rather confused me). Not yet decided which aspect of 365 to focus on in this coming year - wondering whether I can commit to get pushed or not.
thoroughly cool processing... you did well to do so many self portraits, did you find them at all cathartic? i used to. try get pushed for a few months, i enjoy the left-field prompt

@kali66 yes - in a way I have done so Kali. In some respects, it is a bit like keeping a journal but I have been frustrated that it hasn't really pushed me into getting better at the technical aspect of photography - I still seem to be shying away from that.

that's so cool! great photoshop skills. and imaginative and creative to boot. i like your thoughtful, contemplative expression where we can see a bit more of your face in the left-hand edge. i've also been wondering what to focus on this year - and have long wondered about get pushed myself, but have no confidence that i could do half the things people are asked to do, or indeed give any kind of interesting challenge to others ... but then i miss out on the left-field prompts that @kali66 enjoys ... ho hum

@pistache best advice is try it, you might like it! its more fun for the group the more people get involved in get-pushed, otherwise you get paired with the same people over and over, not that i have a problem with that but variety is the spice of life, right>?

@pistache I'll try it if you try it. (I cant believe I just said that - have the same lack of confidence myself).

That embossed look doesn't work everywhere but perfect here!
