Photo Challenge: B & W Self-portraits

This is probably not the most favorable time in my life to be taking pictures of myself but it seemed like a good idea for a challenge so I went with it.  I hope everyone who decided to do the challenge this time had a good time doing and and learning from it. There is still time until mid-night Saturday night (Aug. 11th), so if you haven't signed up, go on over to our Challenge Blog  and feel free to. We would love it!

This is me. This is something I love to do. I never go anywhere without a camera, I might miss THE shot!

This is how I'm working very hard to be.  I want to feel happy.
I am missing part of me,,,,,
I feel as though the best part of me is gone.

Brenda, these are nice shots that relate much about you. I think this was a good challenge for you too. I think you look great in the one with the sunglasses, you must aim on being like that, I am sure it's difficult but not impossible.

Sorry this is late...I've been engulfed with change. Wanted you to know how tender it is that you are still doing the thing you love - photography while wandering through that sad place we so simply label "grief". Everyone has their own time. The heart and soul do mend. What a precious a gift to have had someone you loved so much! One day you will feel whole...because you lived a life with a person whom you truly loved. The black and white served you well here. Thank you so much for sharing and continuing to take those wonderful photos!
