I decided back in November that January would be my month off from shooting sessions so that I could focus on the business aspects of The Salted Image. I am quite happy to admit that I am 100% caught up on past sessions and I am ready for the new year and the big changes that I have in store .
If you have been to any photography blogs or forums, then no doubt you have seen a “Project 52″ post. This is when photographers purpose to shoot and post an image each week from a pre-decided theme or category. Well several photographers and I decided we didn’t want to be left out of the madness and are starting our Project 52 a bit late. The First theme was “Self Portrait”. Not fun. I think most photographers prefer to be behind the camera and I the most. The experience has made me a bit more empathetic and compassionate to my clients!
My initial concept was to balance a stack of books on my head in a witty and quirky manner but alas, my balance is not that good and focus is HARD when you are not behind the camera!
I gave up on the balancing after one try and decided to balance my head on the book instead. Here is the image I disliked the least…
The next was Dustin’s favorite and I will admit that it took all my self control to not liquefy the heck out of it…
Now go check out the ridiculously gorgeous Vikki’s images and feel free to join in the fun with some self-portraits of your own!
This suites you to a T Leah!! Love it! You are so creative!
I love love love these!
Great job getting the difficult one out of the way first. Love these pictures, but I would have loved to see you balancing the books on your head.
Hi Leah, just saw Jen’s challenge pic on her blog and had to see what you had done. Soooo cute!
Of course we would love to have you join Audrey!
I think that Dale Carnegie book is mine. And I like all of the pictures the best. If you were me, you’d be very brave to do this. For you, it should be a piece of cake.
