The ladies of A Beautiful Mess are hosting a 30-day self-portrait challenge (they are actually half-way through, but I only just learned about it).
To participate or not to participate? That is the question.
Taking self-portraits has always seemed a bit egocentric to me (which is a bit odd, seeing as I love it when my friends take selfies). I don't particularly love how I look in a shot on my own, but then again, no one else is taking the pictures. If I try self-portraits, I can control the image and perhaps learn quite a bit in the process. I have read that a lot of women find taking self-portraits makes them feel more comfortable with themselves and just being in front of the camera. Confidence-building, not ego-enhancing (or ego-busting, when the photos aren't so great). I like how this seems to be just what A Beautiful Mess had in mind with the challenge. Maybe a group challenge to take a self-portrait per day for 30 days is just what I need to try this thing. After all, no one has to see unless you want to share. Hmmm....
Do you take selfies?
Will you join in the challenge?

We haven't taken the challenge, but it seems like a great idea and a great way to open up to new ideas and adventures. Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
