Here is a new challenge for you. Turn the camera on yourself and plan on taking any given number of self portraits during 2012. And share that intention publicly.
I suspect that if you enjoy taking photos you probably have many, many images of others, but very few of your self. Same here.
For the month of January the theme for these “selfies” was “pieces of me”. The main rule is that you have to be the one taking your own photo, either by holding the camera, using a tripod and timer, or using a mirror. But no one else can take the photo for you. Kinda forces one to get creative.
I chose to put mine in a collage today. All from this month, all little pieces of me.
You can follow the link below to see some other very creative and beautifully done self images, and to learn more about this challenge.
i love how you put this together. great work! thanks for linking up at {in the picture}!
Great job Deborah! I like that you chose to do a collage. You have some creative pieces of you.
Love the collage. "Something Greater is Holding You" – I like.

Beautiful collage, with a great quote.
Collages are one of the photography techniques I need to learn.
I too have been really challenged to take these photos, but like it.
Cheers,
Leah
Love your collage. All your shots are great and I love the quote. My favourite is the one in front of the window – love how the light is falling on your face.
Oh, Deb!! These are so, so good! I just love them all!! You are a natural at self portraits!!
It is so great to see you Deb! Really see more of you. I love that one on the left, looking out the window. Fantastic perspective.
Wonderful shots put together so creatively! You do look so comfortable with self portraits….I'm not quite there yet.
I love the idea of a collage. Lot's of "pieces" making up the whole. But that first shot of you gazing out the window is sublime.

What a fantastic collection of you!
I love this, Deb…so soft and reflective and lovely. "Something greater is holding you," how sweet is it to know this?
I might just have to take you up on this challenge.
Thanks so much for sharing pieces of beautiful you.
I love it especially the one of you gazing out the window.
beautiful pieces and beautifully put together. Love the one you're looking out the window.
Great selfies!
I so dislike being in front of the camera …. but I think I may try this selfie challenge!
love the first picture when you're looking throuhg the window (I would guess). the light is so beautiful and perfect!
So lovely and creative – all the little pieces of you. It makes me feel that I know you better somehow.
I love the one in front of the window, too, but I really like your collage. I am going to have to try that. These are all very nice photos of you, Deb!
Beautiful collage.
This challenge will be very good for all of us "the behind of camera people". Not easy.
Love your collage!
very nice… you look peaceful and content in them all… and i really love what you did in the photo on the right. looking forward to seeing more throughout the year… following along now!
Love the shots! The one in the middle looks exactly as I remember you!!!
I love your idea. I have so few photos of myself. I am usually the behind the camera.
I love your shots. They are very inspiring.
These are lovely, you look so calm in them all & I love the light in the one where you are looking out.
Good point! I am the one taking the pistures. Very few of myself. I think I'll take you up on the challenge. I loved your collage. It's good to see you at different angles.
Pardon my misspellings-I was trying to multi task. It gets me everytime!
