The Real You

By

talent show 066

It’s not everyday you get to be seen for the real you.

Sometimes your chance comes when you stand on a stage.  Other times it happens when you lay your head on a pillow.  No matter how it comes, that moment of recognition is all it takes to make you feel like a real star.

When was the last time you saw the real somebody when you looked through your lens?  Show us your shining stars in your pics today, and if someone by chance had the talent to reveal the real you, show us that photo, too.

  2. I don’t think anyone has ever captured the real me, except for maybe a candid in high school that I didn’t know was being taken. I guess I keep my guard up most of the time. I don’t take may people shots, either, they don’t cooperate with me (I’m talking about my sons). Someday…

  3. i can’t say i’m even sure what the real me looks like at this point. becoming a mother has thrown me through a loop. my spirit feels more beautiful and the bags under my eyes beg to differ. i haven’t experimented much on self portraits, but this one shines for me:

    and this one by my husband was taken recently and it just feels right because i’m in nature with my baby:

    My husband…sweet, playful, goofy, handsome….

  13. This is a very well timed subject. I just had an epiphany of sorts this morning after hearing Trisha Yearwood’s "Real Live Woman" on my ipod as I drove to work. I blogged about it here… http://star8278.blogspot.com.

    There is one shot of the "real" me that my mom captured while I was shooting at the Philadelphia Flower show this year… It’s the "real" me because it shows me doing what I love most, shooting. But not just shooting, shooting different from everyone else. As you can see in the picture, I am down on the floor looking closely at an arrangement, while the rest of the show’s visitors are focused on the big picture.

  17. My girls are the easiest and most available subjects to capture…they are so used to Mama having a camera out that they usually don’t even notice it. Still my oldest is getting to the age where she poses, so when I catch her doing what she does often without a pose I jump on it.

    My husband on the other hand is impossible. He is like me, always aware of the camera. This is an old shot but it shows us both as we are I think…

  20. This past year has been a tough one for our (almost) 6-year-old son. Last summer he spent almost entirely with family members when our twins arrived early in the midst of a cross-country relocation. The school year has had its trials too. Last weekend I was so happy to feel I’d captured the sweetness (and mischief) that is in his true heart. Even though he is not my little boy anymore, he is still my first baby.

  29. Here is my son enjoying a seat in Grandpa’s old truck. It really captures who he is in a moment.

  40. I’m so impress with your blog. It really attract my attention. As of now there are many adult photo sharing website around the web. I have also found interesting in this portal where we can see body exposure of real people and real life – http://watchersweb.pissedconsumer.com/
