The idea for self portrait Sunday 006 was to help envision myself podcasting. All week I have been thinking about re-launching my podcast. I’ve been mulling over names for it and how to provide the best content in a way that would serve others and myself.

This week for Self Portrait Sunday I had the idea of a self reflection theme. Think along the lines of “take a look at yourself”.

Even if I end up doing the exact same poses every week, the idea is that over time, something will change or improve. I will discover a new secret, technique, pose, or idea within myself.

This week, I experimented with some off camera flash at night.

Larger than life crowds of rambunctious people are really not my forte. However, when my sister-in-law, who lives in England, asks you to go to a parade, you go.

This Self Portrait Sunday is about the spirit of exploration and adventure. I didn’t go anywhere special. I didn’t do anything really adventurous.

On days when I want to take photos of someone other than myself, I take photos of Errin. We captured these beautiful portraits.

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. After such a roller coaster, I decided to take some self portraits.

Today I made the time to take these photos. The wooded ones were all taken in the span of 5-8 minutes. Sometimes that’s all it takes.
