I've been hard at work challenging myself too. One of my goals this year was to try a levitation selfie and here is my first attempt, shot and processed with my iPhone a couple weeks ago!
Our flickr group has been thriving, and I truly hope we will get equal participation here on the blog today. I love stopping by the group each day to see all your creativity, beauty and strength. Our theme this month was "pieces of me", and though it was hard to select just a few images to share, these are some of my favorite pieces of you....
1. Focus, 2. New knit-y goodness {003/366}, 3. #yourshoes To be honest I just put these on for the prompt. It's a barefoot Sunday around here #janphotoaday 22/365, 4. selfie #1: {in the picture} project, 5. It's not what you look at that matters, 6. a lady and her crown, 7. So close, 8. freeze, 9. Ruby Slippers
Thanks to all of you for sharing your amazing work so far!!! OK, so let's get this party started...here are our linky rules:
- If you are new here, you can get caught up on this page. It's not too late to join!
- There will be a link up here on the last Friday of every month this year, and the linky tool will remain open to your submissions until the following Thursday.
- Please link back to the permalink for your {In The Picture} blog post or flickr image, not just the general url for your blog or flickr stream.
- Linked entries must be to a blog post or flickr image of your recent self-portraits, not just any old photo. Your photo does not have to relate to the optional monthly theme, but it does need to be a self-portrait. Links will be moderated and removed if they do not comply with this rule, sorry :)
- Please do link back here to my blog either through a text link, or with my button found below to help encourage others to participate and grow our community.
- And most importantly, be the encouragement you hope to receive and help build our self-portrait community! Please try to visit a few of the links of your fellow {In The Picture} participants and leave a nice comment--it only takes a few minutes and you may be inspired by what you see.
Well, that's it...now get linking everyone! I'll see you back here on Friday, 2/3, for our February theme announcement, and in the meantime, keep showing us your stuff in the flickr pool.

Christy, love this levitation image, I don't think I'll be trying it myself but am enjoying participating in m own way- thanks for the encouragement!
Can't wait to see what everyone submits here! Your levitation shot is so creative and the processing fun too. Me? I think I"ll be keeping my feet on the ground tho, haha.
Kathy
beautiful and lots of fun !
great job !

greetings to all from brussels
that photo is radical? can I say that word still? love it
Your shot is terrific! I love seeing all the creative responses to this challenge.
I am so in love with this project! Thank you so much for putting it together and thank you for the ahem, little shout out up there. Can we say AWESOME?!! :) Made my day!! A "levitation" photo is on my list so I might be emailing you because I lay awake thinking about it sometimes. :) It boggles my mind a bit. :) Happy Friday, Love! And here's to a successful project!! xo
I was half-dreading today, unsure how it would feel to put my selfies out there. But seeing these fun and amazing images ignited my creative spark. Levitation shot? Wow.
I've got tons to learn.

i was so nervous about trying to join this... my goodness, this is just beautiful. you say it's not too late huh?... wow.
love to you my friend!
ps: the photo of you- AHmazing! xo
Christy...I'm looking forward to linking soon, but wanted to say that yes-I am enjoying this very much. It's like an excuse to feed one's own ego.
You're going to have to spill some tips on how to do a levitation shot. Geez, that's awesome.
Wanted to say I really appreciate your visits from the flickr linky. I think when one hosts or starts a project and others tag along, it feels good to have that hostess stop by from time to time and cheerlead. It gives value to what one is trying to accomplish.
Have a great weekend-and wishing much success to the blog linky today.
Very cool selfie! How did you DO that???
Wow, now that's one amazing self portrait!! Thanks for encouraging us to take photos of ourselves and thanks for your kind comments!
I love the "let me in" shot! What a clever and effective montage!
I seem to have a little red cross below the photo I put up and my head got cut out! This is rather funny!
This is fun! I can't wait for next months prompt!
Love your image! And I'm lovin everyone else's! So much fun!
Your photo is.... Magic!
that photo is so amazing. now I want to try to figure out a levitation selfie!! you are so inspiring :)
I love all these shots, I took some today and asked my husband's opinion and he said no so I have deleted them! thought I could do this project but will wait a bit longer.
this is such an amazing selfie! You're such an inspiration.
Thanks for hosting {in the picture} and being so supportive x
Have a great weekend!
we're honoured to be on this blog hop :) your photo is awesome!

xxo. happy weekend
Wow. So many amazing entries. I am loving this selfie project.
That is one of my goals as well...would love to know how you did it!
gina--I had trouble following your link when i tried it this morning :( i haven't heard anyone else having problems today, but it certainly could be a blogger issue. good luck figuring it out! the linky here will be open until thursday if you want to come back and try again at some point.
Wow! What a great picture and what a neat idea! Love it! I'm so glad I found your blog! There are so many great pictures for inspiration. Love it!
I really love your image and processing. If I could only do levitation sometimes...
Thanks for the group, I have already met so many talented photographers here. Great inspiration point.
Awesome work everyone! Mine's not as fancy, but I'm glad to be joining the party.

Beautiful shot! I'm excited to begin participating. I'm a little nervous because I don't care to have pictures of myself taken...never mind by myself! And everyone has such beautiful photographs. But I'm just jumping in and hoping to grow over the next year! Thank you for sharing this project for us all to join in!
Wow...you are a master at taking self-portraits...fantastic shot!! I'm thrilled to have found your blog:) Great photo challenge!
Love those red pumps!
Linking up my selca, too. :)
Hi Christy,
Awesome selfie! I'm joining in your linky party. What an awesome idea! Have a great day!

saw your floating selfie on flickr last week! it's phenomenal! and i have to say... i want the fabulous outfit you are wearing in it! ultra cool in every way!
Problem with link fixed!
What an amazing mosaic! I'm so very honored to be part of it. P.S. Your selfie is awesome!!!
I found your blog by accident. Since I am doing a 365 self portrait project, your "in the picture" caught my attention. After I made my link I began visiting the other postings. I guess the biggest surprise I got was that I am in minority. I appears that I am the only male that made a link. What gives? Have I stumbled into something where I should not be?
hi andy. you are definitely welcome here if you'd like to continue on with us. i do find that many self-portrait projects attract more women than men, i don't know why that is. i know there are a couple other men out there who have joined this, but they didn't link up this time. maybe they are being shy :)
Love your photo!
It was fun to roam through these very creative posts. Maybe one month I will be brave, and like you said...give myself a push.
Have a great week ahead. :)
Wow! You guys are truly inspiring! I guess I did ok for my first entry. I will hopefully grow into this. :)
I really love this challenge and the group of participants is truly inspirational. I would love to try that levitation selfie.
I am so impressed with everyone's self-portraits! I wish I felt more comfortable about doing it....maybe in the future:) I Love your floating image...how did you do it? And how cute that dress is!
First, I love your levitation photo. :-) And second, what a great collection of links so far.
Thank you for including my Ruby Slippers in your shared collection.
Wow! So many interesting pieces!
Including yours, of course!
Float-on, U.M.!
:)
I love thos levitation shots! Yours turned out really good!
Great collection of link, have loved the diversity of approaches and views, including yours, of course. Thanks!
That image is AMAZING!
i am joining for the very first time. this is a fun photo project helps me practice self shots. You have a lot of beautiful pictures here..i am so impressed with the levitation shot
alright now how did you do that? that is mind-blowing and a whole lot of fun for me to see, thanks for that. and thanks too for hosting this party. happy week to you.
aahh, what an epic failure! i was doing good for the 1st 2 weeks and writing blog posts to correlate, but at least i have a flickr set :)
looking forward to checking out other people's work!!!
Looks like it was a great party. So sorry I missed it :(.
Stay inspired!
