I like how your body shape mirrors (!!) the shape of the mirror. Super fun.

Lunchtime attempts.
Warm day, at the deli window:

Colder day, lunch in hand:

Maybe I'll try and art-direct someone to help make another attempt.

Best you are getting on this topic I am afraid. Face fit only for radio.

Thanks! My body should have vanished /faded away more
It's too complicated to realize and after watching several tutorial this is the best I could come up with but it was fun doing it.
oh so happy to see you!
you make too big a deal out of this. but i'm glad you attempted and shared.

I knew this challenge would be difficult and not very popular, so I really appreciate each of you giving it a go. ❤️
And I strongly encourage you, if you haven't already, to take a real portrait of yourself for your own family/catalog. If you do, come back and let me know (I don't need to see it).
And for those of you following along silently, you can choose an alternate theme this week if you still street cred for completing a P52 at the end of the year. 😉

Friends have died recently. Others are facing it first hand. My younger siblings have already experienced the death of a spouse or a stroke or life-threatening cancer.
I, meanwhile, have sat with friends dying of AIDS. Held my mother’s hand at her last breath. Hugged my father days before he died in his sleep.
Feared the eventual death of my husband.
Fooled myself that the Crow tat on my left forearm meant I was ready.
Now I can’t pee right and face surgery.
Such silly pride. We all go.
I’m not as ready to live with this as I thought.

Ok .. worked on it this morning, and decided on this one. (taken with my old iPad Mini 4)

One more for the road. A lot of effort to get the iPad lined up with the background, so this is as good as it gets.

This is quite moving. I glanced at your blog; I love the photo from your November 20 post.
Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
the dramatic lighting works well here. i love it.
super clever! it would be difficult to get things lined up just so!
i really love this. i'm not quite sure how all the patterns line up in the mirrors, but that is all part of the intrigue.
Yes, a great take on Magritte! His bowler hat images are really fun as well.
You give your generation away by the backwards hat. Quite Luke Danes of you. 🙂 (PS - an all time favorite show of mine, so this is a compliment)
Oh I'm happy so many of you are still plugging along at week six. ❤️ The real test will come around mid summer to see if people have given up yet.@mollyc

But still, I'm fine with people drifting in and out as life allows, or even to work at their own pace and fill in backwards. Again, just for people to shoot with intention is enough for me. 🙂
