For Our Daily Challenge 6/26/11, "Shared".
Spontaneously made some cookies at midnight last night with my hubby. We shared the baking, and more importantly, the eating!
I chose this one for the challenge because it implies that they've all been eaten, but I put a shot of the cookies themselves cooling in the comments below. :)

The office building I work in has all these plants and live trees on the lower lever and they change out the plants at least every other week. When they do, they go around and give each office in the buiding a plant. I got my hands on this one months ago and brought it home, repotted it and have been nurturing it ever since.
I have a green thumb to begin with, so its really not too hard to keep this one looking good. I prune it, water it, put that leaf shine on every single leaf, and have it in front of my patio door where it gets plenty of southern exposure sunlight from morning until early afternoon. Its a crazy plant though. It thinks its spring or Hawaii or both...lol. It keeps sprouting flowers. Right now, I have a half dozen in full bloom and a couple more getting ready to open up. Due to the weather today, I pretty much just lounged around and did nothing except clean out photos on my computer. After that, I was pretty bored so picked up my camera and shot frames of my plant just for the heck of it. I like how this came out so I thought I would share. Was anyone else snowed in today? LOL

My rascals are utterly gorgeous and totally amazing. That's so obvious I probably already knew before they were even born.
But today my adored son amazed me more than I thought possible. HE SHARED HIS RASPBERRIES.
I'm bewildered. Where does he get it from??? I guarantee it ain't from me!
On your own, you can learn a lot about yourself from self-portraits. You can create them just for yourself, as an experiment in personal expression and identity exploration, but how might that endeavor change if you showed the portrait to other people? How would it change if you specifically created the photo for someone else?
There’s a good chance you’ll learn more when you share your self-portrait with others. In psychology the concept of the “looking glass self” suggests that our identities evolve from the perceptions other people have of us. We need feedback from them to affirm who we are, to know that what we do matters, and to discover new things about our personalities. Sometimes they see us as we see ourselves. Sometimes they see us according to their own needs and expectations, while missing what we believe is true. And sometimes we accept their perceptions as valid even though they aren’t.
By discussing your self-portraits with others you can detect these consistencies and discrepancies between your self-concept and the ideas others have about you. Sharing your photos can help you understand who you are in relation to other people, as well as who you are in and of yourself. In doing so you might become more comfortable in revealing yourself to others. Ideally, you learn how to accept yourself.
Another article in Photographic Psychology describes “Johari’s Window.” It’s a visual diagram that depicts the four possible combinations of what is known and unknown to self and other in an interpersonal situation. In the case of self-portrait photography, it’s an especially useful concept. For a self-portrait that you share with another person: (1) there are things about you that both you and the other person know from looking at the photo, (2) there are things about you that you know from looking at the photo, while the other person does not, (3) there are things about you that the other person knows from looking at the photo, while you do not, and, (4) there are things revealed about you in the photo that neither you nor the other person know.
The first situation helps confirm who you are. In the second, you would need to self-disclose your “secret” for the other person to understand you better. In third scenario, you would learn more about your “blind spots” if the person shared what they see about you in the self-portrait. The forth situation reminds us that not everything about us is noticeable, to ourselves or others. By discussing the self-portrait with other people, by proposing hypotheses with them, we might discover that hidden aspect of our identity, which proves how useful it can be to invite other people’s interpretations of our self-portraits.
In the past, people mostly showed their printed photos to family, friends, and relatives. Now, in our age of digital photography and cyberspace, people have unprecedented opportunities to share their photos with people around the world, including complete strangers. Posting photos has become a staple of many social network systems and is the cornerstone of photosharing communities like Flickr. Because social networks are all about letting people know “this is me and what I’m doing,” self-portraits frequently appear. In Flickr, several groups devote themselves specifically to this type of photography, including the well-known 365 Group, in which members post self-portraits once a day for a year.
What’s it like to put self-portraits online, especially when many viewers are complete strangers or people you barely know? Some photographers say they feel amazingly free when reactions from other people are not based on what those people already know about you. They enjoy showing their true colors, just being themselves, without need for approval. People online don’t know who you “really” are, so go ahead and create whatever image of yourself you want. Even if people rarely or never comment on your self-portraits, going public with them can nevertheless make what they express about you seem more real and valid. Some people might feel inspired to continue experimenting with their self-expressions simply because they see the view counts indicating that people are looking at their work, even if they aren’t commenting. A silent but hopefully nodding audience of strangers can be rewarding.
Anonymity places an important role in feeling free to do whatever you’d like to do. It’s an important component of what cyberpsychologists call “the online disinhibition effect.” On the Internet, with people who don’t know you, you have a chance to experiment with your identity in the self-portrait, to express things that you wouldn’t ordinarily reveal in your offline life. You don’t feel restricted by what the people in your offline life expect you to be. In some cases the disinhibition effect also might be the result of photographers imagining their online self-portrait work as an extension of their own mind, as a kind of visual space in which they experiment and think out loud. You can picture yourself anyway you want inside your own head, without concern for other’s opinions.
Whether its anonymity, thinking of their online images as extensions of their own thought-space, or just being uninhibited types of people, some photographers in online photosharing communities do seem incredibly candid in their self-portraits, without worrying about how people are reacting to their work. They appear to be baring their souls to strangers, so much so that visitors may feel uncomfortable leaving a comment that might intrude on the photographer’s seemingly vulnerable self-reflective space.
Although some people say that they aren’t very concerned about what others online think, or even pay attention to their comments, we might wonder, then, why they put their self-portraits online at all. In Flickr, people tend to be generally supportive in the feedback they give to each other. Surely that positive response reinforces a person’s efforts. Some people might even dwell on specific kinds of self-portraits due to the acclaim they receive for them, while ignoring or avoiding other types of self-portraits.
But what if a person receives mostly negative comments, or no comments or views at all? Would they continue posting self-portraits? Probably not. It would seem perfectly normal for a person to feel at least a little bit upset, disappointed, ignored, or misunderstood when they receive criticism or little attention. Some people minimize or even deny what they are actually hoping for when they upload their self-portraits.
Of course, it’s also possible that some people really do take in stride whatever reactions their visitors offer. Some photographers say that they’re mostly interested in developing their skills at self-portraits. If viewers offer positive comments, that’s a pleasant bonus but not the primary objective. It’s icing on the cake. It let’s them know they’re doing something right, at least in the eyes of some people. If viewers’ comments are negative, the photographer considers their feedback as possible constructive criticism, but doesn’t feel hurt, offended, ignored, or misunderstood. If they receive no comments at all, well, that’s just the way it goes. They simply enjoy the challenge of creating self-portraits and the opportunity to make them public, without worrying about whether people appreciate or understand them. They’re just letting people know who they are, come what may, without any expectations. If it’s genuine, this attitude indicates quite a bit of maturity and self-confidence. We might then ask an interesting question: what’s the difference between the self-portrait work of these photographers and those who have high expectations as well as a vulnerability to the feedback they receive?
When sharing self-portraits online, there will be as many different experiences as there are people, which is a product of how you, with your unique personality style, respond to the particular visitors who comment on your work. You might intend the photo for family and friends from your offline life, for online friends, or for anyone in cyberspace who wants to take a look. Sometimes you might design the self-portrait for particular people, but not others. Awkward, embarrassing, annoying, or otherwise problematic situations might arise when someone for whom you didn’t intend the photo sees or comments on it. Photosharing communities do offer features for restricting access to selected images. Nevertheless, some photographers, with a dash of hesitation and anxiety, take the risk of posting their sensitive self-portraits for the whole world to see.
Much of the time we want people to notice, understand, and appreciate something in particular about our personalities or lifestyles. Maybe we want our accomplishments and creativity as photographers to be acknowledged. Maybe we are letting others see who we are in order to connect more deeply with people we already know, like family and friends - or perhaps as a way to meet new and like-minded people who are out there somewhere in cyberspace. Sometimes maybe all we’re hoping for is an implicit “thank you” from others who appreciate the fact that we shared ourselves via the self-portrait. When these expectations are met, we feel our sense of self affirmed and our confidence boosted.
In her book Phototherapy Techniques, Judy Weiser poses very interesting questions to consider about the sharing of self-portraits. They point to memories, needs, and feelings that they photographer might not fully realize. They uncover meanings in the self-portrait that can help photographers understand their motivations in creating it.
- If the picture was seen by your parents, siblings, children, relatives, friends, coworkers, boss, and strangers, how might they react differently to it? What could they tell about you from the photo?
- For whom did you intentionally and perhaps unconsciously create this photo? To whom would you like or be willing to show it? What reactions do you imagine they would have? What reactions would you like them to have? What does this say about the trust you feel in that relationship, or about what you might want and need from that relationship?
- Who would you NOT want to see this photo? Why? Are you concerned about being vulnerable, the power they have over you, or how they might reject you, criticize you, or feel uncomfortable around you? What would need to change in order to feel OK about giving the photo to that person?
- Is there something in the self-portrait that very few people or only you understand? What motivated you to include it? What would it be like if others knew this “secret” about you?
** This image and essay are part of a book on Photographic Psychology that I’m creating within Flickr. This particular essay on "Varieties of Self-Portrait Experiences" is a long one, so I’m going to break it up into sections.
If anyone has self-portraits that illustrate the ideas in this essay, please feel free to post and discuss them.

This is a photograph from the first running of the Trim AC Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race which was held on Sunday 1st February 2015 at 12:00 in Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland. This race also incorporated the 2015 Meath 10 Mile Road Championships. For the first staging of this event this was an incredible success with almost 800 runners, joggers and walkers talking to the start line. The weather was perfect for running despite the bitter cold temperatures with air temperature of 4C recorded at the start. Some beautiful Spring sunshine helped brighten the day and the roads were clear and dry for racing.
Want to use this photograph or share it? Please read/scroll down a little further to find out how - it's very easy!
The race started on the Trim Athboy Road (the R154) and headed towards the town before making a left turn onto the Trim Dunderry road. The one mile mark comes just after a Y-junction which the race joins back to before the final 600 meters to the finish. Heading north to Dunderry the route takes a left in the middle of the village and heads west for 2 miles on the Dunderry Athboy road. At the next major junction the race takes another left turning south towards Trim town again. One of the only significant hills/drags of the course happens at around the 6.5 mile marker. Miles 7 - 9 are ran on winding roads with nice hedgerows and shelter from any breeze. During these miles you will begin to see the spire of Trim church in the distance. At the Y-Junction from mile one you have 600 meters to go with a final right turn into the industrial estate and the finish line.
The success of today's race is not an accident. Trim AC, and their army of volunteers and help from other Meath athletic clubs, put in huge work to make this race a success.
Today's race adds significantly to Trim AC's reputation for top quality organisation of race events. The 10 mile road race today follows on from the Braveheart 5KM Trail Race which is held annually in June around the beautiful and historical fields of Porchfields and Trim Castle. Today's race could be the begining of one of the region's largest and most popular 10 mile road races.
Are there more photographs from this race? This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs from the Trim AC 10 Mile Road Race 2015. They are available on our Flickr photostream in the album set here www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157650166189770

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
