Photo Contest Theme: Self-portrait

I have been wanting to do a photo contest ever since I started blogging.  I love photography and I love sharing my photo creations, so I decided this is the perfect time to start a photo contest series (that is, it may be one of many contests that I post depending on the response I get this time around) and have you share your photos with me.  So please participate!!!!  It will be fun and best of all the winner will get a free mini photo session from me - don't all jump out of your chairs yet, you have to read the guidelines first.

PHOTO CONTEST DETAILS:

Theme: self-portrait

Submission: email photos to j.cruz.photography@gmail.com

Deadline: May 30th, 2010

I will be judging your photos by creativity and identity (since the theme is self-portrait).  

Something to think about for this competition:  A picture is worth a thousand words.  

Tell me about yourself through your photograph.

¡Buena Suerte!

Ashley: Midtown Model

Everyone meet Ashley.  She is absolutely gorgeous.

These are just a select few of her that I love.  

Leave me some love/comments/critiques.

I was invited out with a group of photographers to have some fun and discover locations in midtown Houston.  I had a blast and got to meet new people.  There was so much around us to photograph and it was a great time to experiment with camera settings and lighting.  We had about 2 hours of daylight to search out hot spots and take turns with our model.  I really enjoyed seeing my fellow photogs at work with their mad skills.  I hope to do it again soon.  Many thanks to Amber for letting me tag along.
