dumped

there's an intriguing new game on the dashboard. but you've got to love taking self-portraits to partake. and i think you also need to have a cake, but whatever. fiveplustwo is a project of seven 365ers to take self portraits once a week for a year, and every week there's a theme. it's a fun game and frankly quite motivating. so if you are so inclined, you should join, or if you'd rather not, at least check them out. http://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365 some of the photos are a little bit risqué though so tread carefully.

i originally titled this "in the trash" because i forgot that i intended to caption it "dumped". so when i remembered, i changed it to 'dumped' instead of 'in the trash'. oh, crap, i'm babbling again.
I did check them out - good for them! Do you have to be in the trash once a week for a year?

@maggiemae - :-) oh, maggiemae, you always make me smile with your one-liners! check out their discussion on the dashboard. i believe you have some good friends over there. http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/18882/5-2-theme-week-six

Oh Summerfield, you've done well here. Looks very trashy and thanks for the big plug!

This is the one area I have still to overcome, I despise photos of myself, I have to force shots (just a handful at that) of me with Annabelle, hell I don't even like looking in a mirror!
like your take on it
August 18th, 2013  
Absolutely agree! Very creative and I love your photo. FAV!

This is a great one for this weeks five+two challenge.
August 18th, 2013  
This is perfect for the challenge. I'm feeling the same way about fiveplustwo . They have me thinking and creating weekly. This is great.

@houdiniem - haha! thank you.

@bobfoto - a funny irony, i've never been dumped (to my knowledge) and coming from the wrong side of the tracks, was raised so that people won't call us trashy, and yet there i was, trashy and dumped at the same time! :-D thank you.

@claireuk - the people whose photos i've taken and those who had seen them were quite impressed although i can tell you i'm not very confident when taking portraits. when i shall have mastered the craft, i shall be flying to uk and i will take your portraits. also, i prefer that i take my own photo because then i take what i see. thank you, my friend claire.

@dmortega - my, thank you, dorrena. also for the generous fav.

@sianipops - thank you, nia.

@darylo - thank you, daryl. they do come up with some intriguing themes which always make me do some quick thinking.

@cscecil - thank you, CS.

Great idea for the challenge, and nice photo! I should look more at the challenges but I'm not very good at them!
August 18th, 2013  
Fantastic for the theme.
August 18th, 2013  
Very creative shot.
August 19th, 2013  
oh cool! such an excellent take on the trash concept and beautifully executed!
August 19th, 2013  
@summerfield - you're welcome. Looking forward to more of your selfies in the 5+2 themes!
August 19th, 2013  
exceedingly creative shot !
August 19th, 2013  
Thanks for the info on the selfie project, I might have to check that out. i like the originality of this, its a brave image and the processing just takes it to the next level, very cool!
August 20th, 2013  
Great job- but you my friend never have and never will belong in the trash. Have seen the 5+2 stuff and if it didn't involve selfies might give one or two a go. But I don't take them if I don't have to!

@olivetreeann - you know, of course, that selfie doesn't mean showing your face all the time. the back of the head methinks is good enough!
August 21st, 2013  
@summerfield lol maybe my elbow!
August 21st, 2013  
lol neat shot
