the last week

It’s the last week of the 8-week photography class I’m taking with my friend and photography mentor, Lisa.

It’s been a fabulous ride. She’s pushed us in so many ways.

And the final push?

Self-portraits.

And yes – this is about how I feel about attempting one.



Trying to honestly capture myself in a photograph is something I’ve never, ever done.

Much less done well. So there is a whole lot to learn.

I’ll admit, I am intimidated.

And a bit nauseous.



Thankfully, I had some motivation to help me dip my toe into this assignment.

Someone so fun, I just couldn’t resist turning the camera on the two of us.



Someone who, thankfully, is not shy around the camera.



And someone who just makes me smile.

Much work to do before I’m done with this assignment… I have lots of ideas rolling around in my head. But so far, it’s not nearly as painful as I’d expected.
