Clickin Moms is challenging everyone to do 12 self-portraits in 2012, one for each month. I have not shot much this month, especially in comparison to the last couple of months… mostly due to never-ending illnesses with me and the kids. I think we’ve all had mono, ugh. Anyway, I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety lately, so I thought I’d try to capture that in a self-portrait. I call this “Fear.”
It’s a little disconcerting seeing my eyes so close up but I do feel my fear here. I processed this bright, almost blowing my highlights on purpose, to add to a spookier atmosphere. This is an in-camera crop… I used my macro lens and held the camera at arm’s length with the focal point hitting my left eye.
Thanks for looking! If you are curious, here are the rest of my self-portraits this year: January, February, March, and April.
