Dear Steemians,

By organizing this #contest I wanted to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community!

There were 3 entries in the 11th week but non of them were accepted. But we all together came to some very useful conclusions which will serve us all in the future! The post with the results & explanations can be seen on the following address: https://steemit.com/photocircle/@careassaktart/10th-week-of-self-portrait-photo-contest---results-miaap

INSTRUCTIONS:

Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, mother, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician, politician, manager, nurse, porn star, prostitute, gigolo, pimp... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!

Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art #photography.

---

#Photo can be full color, b&w & #monochrome tones.

If you don't know the difference between #self-portrait & #selfie & consider to participate in my contest, I advise you to please read the following article: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-selfie-and-a-self-portrait.

Example:

Space Travel: Neptun

The heart spiral contracts and relaxes in the rhythm of euphoria and fascination with the new information and perforation, and their opposites – indifference and disgust, expectation and disappointment… Who, what, why, how much, to whom… Unless we give them importance, these categories are not important at all.

Neptune sees off the adventurers, astronauts-tourists, explorers of everything that can and cannot be sensed. It gives them their last hug and kisses them. Everything is love!

Although far, near the last stone from the cum, pardon me, the Sun, warmth suddenly rises from the inside, from the depths of the eternal – the pure soul – which holds its ground in the heart opened wide towards everyone and everything which receives and gives, without expecting anything in return.

I need my mother’s bosom no more. Determined, I stood up, since I’m leaving the Milky Way soon. My wings are freely spread to catch the wind of goodwill, to which I surrender myself, so it can lead me in an unknown direction. Uncertainty follows my steps, but fear is long gone. It is stuck somewhere around the planet Earth.

Spiritual warrior, this dimensional sufferer, in the service of light, crucified and torn apart between the wishes of others and his own, predetermined, in this form, to clean his bad karma. It was collected by the soul in the past and in the unconscious part of today’s this dimensional manifestation. He will talk without compromise about that which no one dares, with a sharp tongue so that taboos and secrets can be exposed.

Space Travel is my multimedia project which appeared to me in the spring of 2014 when I came back from India & was visiting my friend in Zadar. I borrowed her bicycle & drove myself all the way to the interactive installation called "Greetings To The Sun" created by the Croatian architect Nikola Bašić... & then it struck me! Suddenly the words were coming to me - the words above - following the 1st portrait - The Sun - out of the Space Travel series...
