{52 week challenge-attempt 2} week 1: Self Portrait

Hi! I'm very excited to share my new journey for 2012. It's a 52 week project where I'll have 52 different themes and each week I'll focus on those different themes to stretch my creativity and keep me actively engaged in my love for photography! 

Week 1's theme is self portrait. As a photographer, I know that I am often the one behind the camera (much more fun) and am very seldom the one in the pictures. For this project I decided to take a different approach. Here's it is:

a little about my "self" portrait: I was trying to come up with a way to avoid taking my picture before I've showered and gotten out of my pj's. This is just a little look into my life. For those that know me well, you know that I go NOWHERE without my iphone and my sunglasses. Having 2 little ones in diapers, I feel like I'm constantly changing or chasing down someone to get changed!  My current book: "The Help"...LOVE it. I haven't read in a long time, unless magazines count. I'm hoping to keep my New Year's resolution to read more. I'm also browsing "The Happiest Baby on the Block", because we all want happy babies, right?!? I included my Rangefinder magazine for photography inspiration and info and my Martha Living magazine, because I wish I could be more like Martha (minus the tax fraud and time in jail). My planner, because even though I have a "smart" phone with a built in calendar I still find the need to write it all down. Lastly, in the shot is my picture frame with fabric and cork in it (for pinning important notes)-it serves as a reminder that I want to do something "crafty" every week. 

Okay...I know I kinda cheated, I'll post a traditional self portrait later...after I shower and look more human!
