January 16, 2017 – Get in the Frame

Collective Post

We wanted to take the month of January to acquaint and reacquaint all of you with our contributors starting with this, our first collaborative post of 2017. This post features self portraits of each of our contributors in their homes and/or with their families. After all, if you are documenting your own family it’s important that you appear in at least a few frames as well.

“Self portraits are a way of revealing something about one’s self.”
– Eric Kandel
