Self-portraiture can be a difficult subject for many to tackle. Many who feel comfortable behind the camera feel very uncomfortable in front of it. This months challenge is a slight twist on self-portraiture which we are calling self-image. What this means is that instead of your usual portrait, we are looking for self-images. How you perceive yourself or how you want others to see you. Are you Tarzan of the jungle?...Queen of Sheba?....a pussycat? Anything goes with this one, so let your imagination run wild....and image manipulation is allowed and even encouraged with this one......looking forward to seeing all of you!!
