i have posted at least 104 self portraits this year. "52 portraits of me" was a challenge i accepted from a good friend after i told her that the ex had been lurking on my 365 album to find out what i've been up to. my friend said "make him drool now that you're no longer together". sucker that i was, i undertook that challenge but there are no regrets.
i also continue to post on wednesdays over at five plus two where we also have weekly themes. the prompts for the group's themes aren't supposed to be made public so you will have to follow the group and watch out for its weekly bulletin which announces the week's theme.
i took eight of my favourites from each of my personal album and from my postings at five plus two to make this collage, plus my most favourite. my overall fave was an emulation of Norman Rockwell's self portrait which was a composite of five photos; a little crude on the processing but i suppose it's alright with my limited knowledge of photoshop.
a few of you who visit my album has expressed interest in doing a weekly self portrait project in the next year. i am posting the prompts here if you wish to undertake the project. these are the prompts that i used for my 52 portraits of me challenge.
