Nothing evokes more fear and horror than the term self-portrait. For me anyway, and this is the theme we meet this week, in the 2nd week of the Project 52 I am part of with some ladies who met over in the Bloom forum. Last year this theme had me full of reflection in an attempt to take a creative approach, this year I just could not get the momentum. For some reason I have had a bit of a low start to the year and with it being the crazy time at work, all I could manage was a snap in the mirror. In line with my current love for film it is a film image, scanned at home.

For more of this theme follow through the blog circle and enjoy. Next up is the very talented Melanie, of Melanie Kay Photography, Thousand Oaks, California.
Yep, that’s about right, I would say that “horror” and “panic” are words that come to mind for me when I hear the term “self portrait” lol!
I totally have to be in the mood for selfies too, and that mood is soooo rare. I dig the stripes.
awww…love it cara! i need to step it up and challenge myself to shoot my 52′s all in film…even if i have to go to walgreen’s to develop!
I felt the same way! Love your light and colors in this image & so impressed you are doing this with film & scanning at home!
Oh I’m in love with that Mamiya! Your photographs are beautiful, Cara! I’m doubly impressed that you scan at home. Great self portrait.
I know this self portrait is not favorite theme but you make it look easy. Love your film work!!
I love this shot and I love your camera! Super cute.
Love the tone of this image. Great job!
