Focusing on Life ~ Monochromatic

I started this week's Focusing on Life assignment thinking 

I would manipulate a few photos of the many awesome vistas 

I was fortunate to capture in Oregon last year.

While sifting through folders I discovered these already 

monochromatic snapshots and was stopped dead in my tracks. 

Y'all will very likely find them boring and this post one of vanity, 

but they tell me a story about the last almost 7 years of my life

that my 35 year old self must have planned for when she decided 

to begin documenting with a self portrait at least once a year.

The first isn't a self portrait, but it represents the me that I am

and will always be more effectively than a photograph ever has.

Ironically it was taken by a complete stranger.

Well played, 35 year old self.  Well played.
