Please post your favourite picture of yourself from 2012, self-portrait or otherwise!
Elemental, just sun
and waves and sand, no war paint, no costumes, no flat iron, just stripped down
tresses and the rock rock rocking of the boat and friends laughing from onboard
at my sloppy cannonballs into Lake Michigan, and the feeling of the suspension,
the feeling of pulling myself up and out and emerging from one element into another.
What the heck is this Reverb12 business? Find out here.
These are the BEST kinds of self-portraits. You look relaxed, beautiful and like you're having such a great time! There's a picture of my mother that is similar...she's on a boat in Hawaii, hair blowing, and the most wonderful smile. I'm so glad that you shared this. You are beautiful inside and out!

Awwww thanks Brandee! I think I like it because I look at it and I can remember every detail about that day and how happy I was. :)

You look stunning! I think one of my own favorites looks SO much like this one that I was startled initially - thinking we were in the same photo :) http://www.storiesofconflictandlove.com/2012/08/with-salt-on-your-back.html It's the last one in that photoessay!
