The above image is what I would have picked to go with the theme "self portrait". I like the composition and you can see just enough to not notice all the flaws.

But then Casey posted this beautifully brave picture and post.

And Darcy wrote this inspiring post about how it's not about us. That's right it's not about ME.

Wait, a self portrait that isn't about self?

Nope, it's about them. Family, history, the future and the past. I spend a lot of time behind the camera. I'm more comfortable there. If I never step in front of the camera though what history will I be leaving behind for my children? When they go through old photos who will they see?

So for them I step in front of the camera:

In all my awkward, imperfectness.

Just being me.
