Mon Feb 24 - Members' Night 7 PM (online only)
Photographer Survivor...Outplan, Outshot, Outprocess
Theme: "Capture thyself in a riot of colors... or not"
The challenge is not just to send the image, but the philosophy of the thought process. The self portrait has to be a portrait of the soul- it will be almost like the signature of the person sending the image. The photographer has to use colors in the image. The image has to be named using three adjectives - those that define the person. These adjectives should be apparent from the image.
Example - Vibrant Curious Unique- self portrait of Paramita.
