This is probably the most amazing collection of self-portraiture by different individuals, many of whom I do not know, that I have ever seen. It's that freshness that makes this so welcome and seductive. So many inividual visions. Aline, I must give you the lion's share of credit for offering these opportunities, building such a viewership, and then editing not only your daily!!! columns, but also these colossal works that gravitate to you and your generosity of spirit. I am so honored to be part of this group. Thank you for all you do --
Mary Ann
That was a fun ride!
There are some really great portraits here. I especially liked Frances Jakubek and Mike Spitz but first and foremost I'm struck by how generous you are with your time, Aline.
I don't think I can say this any better than Mary Ann Lynch. I agree completely and am grateful for all you do and all you are! Robbie
Best collection of self portraits I have ever seen.
I absolutely love these .. as one who cannot be in front of the camera I am always in awe of self portraits .. impossible to choose a fave ...
Incredible to see how people take images which depict themselves. They are all so different, just like individuals, love it and love you for putting it together xo
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing these, a great source of inspiration! :)
i am so honored to be included with such an incredible collection of self-portraiture. aline, your generosity & commitment to our art form is much appreciated. i look forward to digging in further over the next couple of days.
thank you kindly from shāna
I was particularly amused by the Sara Friedlander photo, mainly because I took a similar photo of myself on Saturday using the side of the Frank Gehry-designed Stata Center at MIT. Though I think the surface of Stata is even more funhouse-mirrory.
Aline,
This was probably the best collection of images to date. Thanks for putting these on during the year as it gives us all a chance to share as a viewer and image taker....
Aline thanks for being so open with your knowledge and giving people a chance to put work out in the world.
One of the most difficult exercise to do ,because it is all the things you cant say about you when you are behind the lens
What a great collection of creativity! Thank you Aline - and thank you to all the photographers who've made this such a fantastic afternoon of looking at photos and seeing new! websites.
I can't wait to see your summer photos.
vito
I just want to reiterate what was already said: it is an honour to be apart of this post for it does give a very poignant image of how differently we account for ourselves.
Thanks for your time and dedication to promote photography!
Aline, this is awesome!
Amazing creativity!
Nothing short of spectacular!! A wonderful group!
I feel the same way as Mary Ann Lynch - this is the most amazing collection of self portraits I have seen! This should be published as a book! I want a copy. Thank you again for all you do to encourage and support photographers. xoxox
Thank you so much Aline, for all you do in creating a photographic community and for encouraging us. It is an honor to be shown on your site. And the range of response to the daunting concept of self-portrait is stunning. - Erica
I'll second Catherine's comment -- this should be published as a book. . . Mary Ann
A book would be wonderful. The work here is so powerful. I agree with MaryAnn as well in giving appreciation to Aline for her hard work in this. Thank you!
A book would be, indeed, fabulous--for many of these exhibitions, BUT just putting the exhibition is so much work, I can't image trying to get tiff files and releases from everyone...if someone is interested, have at it! It could be a MagCloud too!
Thank you! This is inspiring. How could I submit in the future?
Keep checking on the Lenscratch home page (click on the photo of the paper dolls) for new calls for entry--there are several! http://lenscratch.blogspot.com/2010/10/lenscratch-exhibition-opportunities.html
Who curated this show? It is very wonderful.
It was self curated...Anyone could send an image. Check the Lenscratch site for future opportunites...
Aline, How great it is to explore this collection and discover the unique way every person chooses to be preceived. I'm running out now, in search of myself and bring it back to you... : )
Thank you for sharing it!
Eli - Class of Sept, 2011
