Dare You
April 1, 2008 by soozadoo
This is a post card from Post Secret last week. It really resonated with me, because all the women I know always say, ‘don’t get me’ whenever I’m near them with a camera.
I know I do it.
We shouldn’t. We should share ourselves.
So I dare you.
All of you.
Do a self portrait this week. Or those of you with clever photographer friends. Ask them to take a picture of you.
you look stunning!
I can see dad in your eyes…
I SO need a clever photographer friend
This is a STUNNING photo. You are so very beautiful.
Oh, that is, you are so beautiful - don’t tell me you took that yourself? The last two pics of me are one divine and soft by the talented Carrie Young and the other harsh and serial-killer-worthy by the PO for my working with children id card (you’d never let me work with your children after seeing that pic)…
I’m always the one behind the camera at our place. i’ll try. your gorgeous photo has inspired me.
Very inspiring. You look all soft and sweet. Are you sure that’s you?
I swear I’m working on one!! Like Kirsty said, a clever photographer friend would make it so much easier!
You’re so beautiful.
Very strong. You shared yourself proudly and confidently and apparently everyone loved you. Job well done.
So who took the photo?
Gawd I was scrolling down thinking I would at least see a snarl and a finger up, not a beautiful, demure, worldly looking goddess type!
Who is this Soozadoo imposter? She looks lovely….
That will be a good one for the author’s biography on the dustjacket of your book.
Beautiful. Must be the genes.
Beautiful pic
It is a beautiful pic Suss…..But I see you all the time and I can assure your readers you usually do have a snarl on your face! Hey, don’t get me wrong, I love your snarl, your snarl rocks….
Your new banner is fabulous too - again, a demure pic…..what’s going on???
