400th post! :: photography contest

hello friends! you're not going to believe this, but this is my 400th post!   to celebrate, i am hosting a little contest and the winner will receive a free 2-hour photo shoot with yours truly and all of the digital files with copyright release.   i'm so excited about this!  o, and did i mention i will travel anywhere?! 

how to enter:

1. post a self-portrait onto cp :: photography's facebook wall.
2. submissions must be posted by february 8th @ midnight.

rules:

1. your entry must be a self-portrait... meaning you took the portrait, painted the portrait, etc.
2. all forms of art are accepted - not just photography!
3. you may use a tripod to take a self-photograph, but no one else can snap the shutter.  timers and remotes are allowed.
4. submissions must be posted within the contest timeframe and onto my facebook wall.  i will not accept emailed submissions.

judging will take place on february 9th - 10th and will be done by a panel of my artsy fartsy friends.  only the winner will be notified on facebook & this blog.

so.... why a self portrait?  because you are beautiful!  and because not everyone has cute babies or weddings to photograph.  and because it's hard.  one of the most difficult things in the world for me (and most people i know) is to look at a picture of myself and think it's lovely.  so i welcome and admire your courage!  i can't wait to see all of your creativity!
