Project 52 {Week 1 - Self Portrait}

The first of 52 weeks and probably the hardest of all.  A self photo.  Join me the next 52 weeks as I expand my creativity while joining several other talented women from around the world!  I'll post a photo each Friday based on a specific theme as well as a link to another photographer part of the journey.
For my self photo I decided to bring you to Minnesota....it's cold, cold, cold here.   At least it is suppose to be.  We are experiencing a very rare winter.  We've only had a few inches of snow and many warm (45-50 degree) days.  Not the usual for Minnesota.  I should be out enjoying it more, but I tend to hibernate in the winter.  My body goes into lazy mode.  I am hoping this project challenges me to get out and enjoy the season when in fact I'd rather be in my cozy warm house!  So welcome, from Minnesota!!

  9. Tracy this picture is LOVELY!

    I want to grab my blanket and cuddle in it right now! the peace you transmit in this picture is so comforting. Love the scarf. Those tones look so well with your skin. The light is so yummy. The DOP is perfectly nailed. I can easily go to that one eye. And look straight at it. And I can feel you looking directly at my soul giving me the most beautiful calmness. It is a strong picture. I really like it. Cant wait to see more!
