Self Portraits from 2012 Pt. II

Last week I shared the first half of my favourite self portraits from 2012 and today I will share the second half of that list.  Next week I go start my self portrait project for 2013.  So without further adieu I present to you the photographs to speak for themselves.

‘Heirloom’ Self Portrait by Bonnie Bonnie Rose
This one is a special one for me because it represents more than myself. The tattoo on my arm is the F111E, the plane my dad flew during the Gulf War in the 90’s, my memorial tattoo I got after he died. The fur stole I got when I was in Uni, after my dad’s father passed away. I went to the funeral and it was something I was given as we cleared out his father’s place. It had belonged to my dad’s mother, who died before I was born. I have my father’s eyes, and in this image I really see his mother. Though all three people are gone, the memories, reminders, and heirlooms remain.

    omg I’m OBSESSED!!! You are so gorgeous, girl! It’s really hard to pick, but I’m in love with the “Stuck in Time” portrait. You must have had so much fun doing these shoots!!

      Thank you Kristen you are so sweet. I did have so much fun. What I liked best too was I did a lot of traveling over part of 2012 and it was great to have self portraits done in four different countries and two different continents. ‘Stuck in Time’ was at my in laws place in Illinois. Theres this one sitting room in bright coral with a load of china dolls and older generation styling. Its a creepy room and very fitting for that self portrait. I am going to start them back up again in 2013, I hope you check back to see the ones for this year.

    I want to participate again! I know I fell off the wagon last time and got, what, maybe four done… yikes! I’d like to challenge myself again this time around! Let me know when you are starting!

      Sounds great Miriam! I am looking at taking it this week and sharing it next weekend for ‘Self Portrait Saturday’. I look forward to seeing your work this year. If it makes you feel comforted, I have had a little hard time getting back into my normal routine since I switched back to one of my other cameras. But ready to get past that hurdle and move forward. xx

    Erica,

    Those were the very last two I took in 2012. A good end to a fun year of self portraits. But I look to start again this week for 2013. Thank you Erica for your kinda words! xx

      You’re welcome and thank you for such a compliment! But I will say sometimes it takes a lot of attempts with my tripod and some epic fails. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. xx
