Composing Ourselves

Darcie Naylor
In April-May, National Geographic's ongoing "Your Shot" section asked for self-portraits. More than 7,000 were submitted from all over the world (http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/assignments/self-portrait/), and of those, 22 were highlighted by the two curators of this particular assignment. The shot at left is my favorite. Some include explanatory captions, others don't ~ and all say so much: http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/stories/self-portrait/
   In case you're interested, the current assignments are "The Animals We Love" and "After Midnight," and anyone can enter (in fact, a while back, I entered a photo ~ just something I'd taken with my phone, not planning on doing anything with it ~ and, in the course of looking around the website for this post, noticed that three people had added it to their favorites!). Here's how to enter: http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/assignments-stories/
