GDSP exhibit: call for participation

I want to take your picture, but you are so far away. We’ve never met, but it doesn’t feel like we are strangers.

Would you take a self-portrait (the picture I would take, of you, if we were together), and let me include it in an exhibit of all of the self-portraits that have been taken following the direction/description at http://mollybroxton.tumblr.com/post/14549957159/guest-directed-self-portrait-1-dir-molly-peck ?

The show opens March 8, 2016. Please be a part of it.

More details about the Guest Directed Self Portrait project can be found at guestdirectedself.tumblr.com (it’s easier to see the FAQ and all images for GDSP #1 in a browser, rather than in the app or from your dashboard).

Guest-Directed Self-Portrait #40, directed by @ellie-lane-imagery (“I love glancing in windows while out on the road, whether in the country, the city, or the suburbs. I’m forever fascinated by the anonymous lives lived behind windowpanes, or around the edges of doors. They make me feel less alone - more human, even - these stray images rushing by like film through a projector that’s sputtering to life. Show me what I’d see if I glanced into your window, or through a crack in your door as I passed. Would it be something beautiful? Shameful? Both?”)

Calling Guest-Directors!

Based on the timeline on which they first started participating in guestdirectedself, the next three guest-directors would be: @submissivelymonroe @vexvoir filthygood But, we haven't received their prompts yet. Gorgeous lovelies, if you see this, if you are out there, and if you are ready to provide a prompt/direction for a guest-directed self-portrait, please send it (you can post it on your own blog and give me a heads up, or you can use the link over at the GDSP page to send it directly: http://guestdirectedself.tumblr.com/ask Seeing the images people create from the directions that you give is easily (in my opinion) the most moving and magical part of this project. I hope you want to experience that part!
