A self-portrait mosaic project, 96x96 I completed over winter break for a school project. Took roughly 3 weeks to complete in its entirety. Tried to use different techniques this time around by dithering colors for a blended effect in some areas and a third layer in some cases. I like how it turned out :)
Stuff on the right was to answer: What is important to you? Stuff on the left was to answer: How will that affect your RA journey? (as I am a Resident Assistant at my school)
I took this while waiting for the elevator in the Westin Peachtree in downtown Atlanta. I looked in the mirror and thought the aura of light around my head was kind of cool. I just like it better red, well because I love red, and it also reminds me of my company and the work function I was heading to that evening. I work with awesome people, for a great company, and once again our firm is giving back by partnering with the World Wildlife Fund to protect the arctic home of polar bears. .

Also, I actually got to meet and take a photo with the President and CEO of Coca-Cola Refreshments, Steve Cahillane, at the event. Great guy, and it was truly an honor to meet him. I told him how much something he said in a meeting over a year ago meant to me. He sincerely seemed to appreciate it, and it made me wish I'd e-mailed him and told him sooner.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

Hmmm... I think you cross over into unnecessarily-wannabe-artsy when
you start taking self-portraits. Actually, I was walking out the door
(note the coat and headphones) when I realized I was on the verge of a
Flock of Seagulls hair style. A moment later the picture was taken,
and I got to play with some photoshop tonight.
So a small, potentially temporary addition to my photographic arsenal requires a new trendy self-portrait. Note self-portrait and spider fingers. ;)
I neigh, then I lightpaint.

My self-portrait using my regular scratchy & emotive style. I enjoyed drawing this, using 2B & 4B pencil to differentiate tone and features from one another.

New self portrait shot for my social media stuff. Love doing portrait shots when I can; every new one has a totally different mood and expression.
Hows your self esteem these days? Can you look in the mirror and genuinely say you're happy with what you see?
Everyone should be comfortable in their own skin...you ALL have been created BEAUTIFULLY in your own unique way.
So go and have a look in that mirror and tell me what you see,
Are you battered and brusied or smiling with glee?

Dear god, I want to quit so bad. By the time I get out of work, exercise, shower, cook dinner and lunch for next day, it's 10 PM, I'm in my pajamas, and the last thing I want to do is photograph my scrubby self. Last week I had my first day where I took a photo and didn't bother to upload, because the results were so embarassingly bad. I am only four months in and feeling hopeless.
I'm wondering if I took on too much. Training for a half marathon while taking one self portrait everyday. Today I was ready to drop the entire project - what has it done for me lately? But looking back at the month, I definitely had some great photos. I am learning and growing and the best education comes at the heel of soul wrenching challenges. That's when we truly get to know ourselves.
For now, I will carry on. At least my hair is getting longer. So that's fun.

Found in scrapyard outside of Riyadh. Self propelled artillery an old M-109 apparently and not a tank in the traditional sense.
