Self Portrait: How I View Myself

Posted by Tracey (Maryland, United States) on 20 September 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I am celebrating my birthday today with family and friends! I wanted to add this self portrait because I view myself through hazy eyes. I often don't have a clear vision of who I am and am always trying to figure out this thing called me.

Happy Birthday Tracey. Never mind, it takes a life time to figure yourself out. I love the self-portrait of what I perceive to be a very caring, lovely lady who takes awesome pictures.

Looks like it might be time to schedule a visit to the eye doctor. You need a new prescription. I guess that happens as we get older. :-) Just kidding. Nice shot. Happy Birthday!!!

nice perspective and use of blur to convey your feelings. Like most of us, you haven't figured out who you are. But you're doing quite well with this thing called photography. Keep up the good work.
