Who are you seeing when you look in a mirror? Is that really you? Or, are you just wearing a costume? Who is that looking out of your eyes?

Mirir, Mirror June Challenge: Chrissy
"Well, I was able to take this after 4 rejected tries!. And yes this is my yard, my never ending hobby.... I am working on making it a sanctuary not only for me but for the finches and robins that now look forward to seeing me put out their feed.... Well Virginia, what do u think? a few years older than the photo on my page, huh? I am glad u started this challenge and hopefully, I will be less critical of myself in photos..LOL.." -- Chrissy
HI!!!! So glad you are participating! I didn't see your first submission til after I had posted your Wild Card -- so you might have seen a couple of erroneous posts LOL! You look fabulous, dahling! Let's beat this rap about mirrors and age -- OK!!!!
I think my thing is after the 3rd kid ( 19 yrs. ago) I had looked in the mirror and I noticed I looked more like my mom... the eyes had changed.. I use to always favor my Dad...I thought having the 3rd might have done it...lol
Maybe! I wouldn't know -- I opted out for kids in this lifetime!!! All I know is that if go out in public and I forget to put on lipstick -- I can hear everytime my mom saying "A woman looks naked without lipstick -- PUT SOME ON!!!" LOL!!!!
well when i go work out (which is super early) i don't wear any... but i do see women who will come to the gym all dolled up and would u believe men wear cologne!? sweat and cologne!. ralp!
Hello! Hope you can join me in this self-exploration challenge. Anybody can join! All you need is a camera and a mirror, or mirror-like surface in which you can see yourself. A simple camera will do -- point and shoot, Kodak Instamatic, etc., and the ability to scan and digitally upload your photos.
You will receive a prompt here from me at the beginning of each month; the theme will be Who Am I This Month? You can post one Monthly Challenge Photo and comment about it. Be sure you mention what this photo possibly says about you. What does it reflect to you about yourself? Your feelings? Your likes or dislikes? Who you think you are. Use it as a tool to go deeper and wider in your view of yourself.
In addition, you can post three other photos during the month at any time: A Wild CardPhoto (crazy creative or just here's somethin' I took of myself), an Out and About Photo (a Mirror, Mirror taken on the road or on your daily movings about), and Others, Mirror, Self (this can be of a person or object reflected in a surface -- you don't have to be in the photo, you just need to have taken it).Again, your post comments should include what the photo seems to say about yourself.
There are only a few Mirror, Mirror Challenge rules: 1. You need to join as a follower to this blog. 2. The photo must be a reflection of you (or a part of you) in a mirror, or mirror-like surface (except for the Others, Mirrors, Self category. 3. You must be the person taking a photo of yourself. 4. There shall be no nudity, or anything that might cause me to avert my eyes. Got it? 5. I will be posting the Monthly Challenge Prompt here on this blog around the first week of each month. If you have a submission, please email me and let me know where to find* your photo if you don't send it to me. (*I suggest Flicker, Photobucket, or your blog or website if you have them.) Or, just send the photo to me along with your comment and I will post it to the blog. 6. You may post your Wild Card,Out and About, and Others, Mirror, Self photos at any time during the month. And occasionally I will post another category that you have the option of using.
I look forward to seeing your photos!-- Virginia
