Hi Y'all,
Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime blog put out the call for those of us that would like to join her in a year long photo taking challenge. So I said yeah what the heck a change from always blogging about my jewelry in 2013 would be a nice change and break up the monotony of jewelry post. The challenge is to take a photo of the prompt that will be emailed out each week and then blog about your photo on the following Saturday. Easy right? Well I thought so until we got the first prompt and it was to take a self portrait. Like so many I do not really like to have my picture taken for one reason or another, although I am in many pictures with family and friends. I was once told when I used to do Creative Memories scrap booking that having photos of you is just one way of letting future generations know that you truly did exist.
I am some what of a procrastinator, so of course I waited until the last minute to start taking photos of myself. In this picture, which in my opinion is the best of the ones that I took, I am sitting in front of my photo tent I had just finished taking pictures of a cuff that I had bead embroidered. So here I am!
I am also dressed in an old t-shirt and sweat pants, because I just got off from work and no plans of going out anywhere except to the post office to mail a package, because the piece that I was to put in the mail was still sitting on the table by the photo tent. I did put in a pair of earring before I left the house.
I am excited about this Focus on Life through photography and will be looking forward to receiving my prompt for each week. So come on back next Saturday and see what I have to share with y'all.
Happy beading Y'all,
Therese
nice one, Therese. it's an exciting project we are doing and I look forward to seeing more,

Therese, I love your photo, especially as it shows you doing something you enjoy. I just read our prompt for the next assignment and I think it will be a good one. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos in the coming weeks, and seeing how all of us grow in our photography skills!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful profile pic...I love your haircut!!! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting perspective! It gives you a very introspective feel.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, reflection on your face is especially effective.
ReplyDeletethere's my beautiful friend :-)
ReplyDeleteTherese, I love it. I can almost imagine that it is your beadwork that you are studying so intently.
ReplyDeleteTherese I do hope that one day we will meet! I would so like that! This is a great self portrait, of you being you ... love it
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely photo, from the angle to the lighting to the intensity of expression! I procrastinated taking my picture too!
ReplyDeleteTherese, you look beautiful! I had to laugh when you mentioned that you did put earrings on...that having earring on make everything else all right! And about that beaded cuff! What!?! No picture? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah right you could have let us see the cuff! I want to know how your arm is long enough to take the pic! Earrings always make the outfit!
ReplyDeletewonderful shot, at work, taking more pics. I feel you on the outfit. I had only what I was wearing my fav concert shirt circa 2004 oh so not flattering
ReplyDeleteMy sweat shirt in my picture is full of holes the camera just didn't manage to focus on any of them! And yes I agree we should have got to see a picture of the embroidered cuff too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool pic! I love the idea of this challenge and I can't wait to see where you take this!
ReplyDeleteHi Therese! Although I love that beautiful, smiling face of yours, it's nice to see a profile shot of you working ... the creative genius behind Therese's Treasures! =) I'm looking forward to sharing this year-long journey with you my friend!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you just look so happy!! "Real" photos are sometimes the best ones!
ReplyDeleteTherese, I love this shot of you,it's beautiful, the light reflecting back, your peaceful expression and your haircut , you look so young here ( not that you're old, I';m talking teenage young)! You need to teach me that trick :)
ReplyDeleteGreat angle on the self portrait! I look forward to seeing your future photos from this challenge. It sounds like a unique one!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this journey this year, too. I love your photo and the fact that you put on earrings before going to mail your package! ;-) (done that!!)
ReplyDeleteHi Therese,
ReplyDeletePatti mentioned your hair cut and I was going to comment on it too. Did you just go shorter or has it been that cut for awhile? Looks great! I signed up for this too but missed week one. And didn't you know that tee shirt and exercise pants are the beader's uniform? That's so we are properly garbed so we can make a fast dash to the nearest bead store for supplies! This should be a fun project!
First, I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get over here. I'm so very behind this week. I don't know what's up.
ReplyDeleteNow. . .HEY THERESE!!! (I'm waving at you!) It's so good to get to see you. This is going to be such a fun year of challenges isn't it?
