I am back.
The ones that didn’t read my explantion earlier, I postponed my last 10 shoots for this project to take a short break and went to Sicily with my love.
Although I did not miss one single day the last year, I thought it was worth it to take a rest for one week.

Now I am full of inspiration again and will go for the final 10 selfies of this project.
So stay tuned.

P.s. Of course there will be more shots of this beautiful island in my stream, but first I have to get back to work ;-(.

nr. 354 – The truth about making a selfie, originally uploaded by mevrouwmikmak.

I got a lot of questions lately, if I will continue making selfies.
Or even start another 365.
I will continue making selfies, but not with the pressure of performing every day.
A lot of days I wasn’t totally happy about the result of the day.
Although I learned a totally different level of photography.
It streched my creativity to a maximum sometimes and it gave me a lot of tension and frustration.
The result of all that effort is a bunch of great shots and a lot of experience, great contacts and a project to remember.

But I really want to see some new faces in front of my camera.
So there will be more selfies in the future. I have a lot of ideas in my head, but I want more time to make them en enjoy the good feeling of a great shot a little bit longer than one day.
354 done, 11 to go.

nr. 352 – Fake – Salon8 – 20/26, originally uploaded by mevrouwmikmak.

Fake On Black

Cosmetic surgery is like a trend that hasn’t reached his peak yet.
I am sure it will eventually.
On tv a lot of famous people try at least some botox.
I would cheer when people started to love a natural look again.
What good is a face without expression or wrinkle.
It is the lines on your face that tell the story of your life,
in my opinion that is what makes a face interesting.
I don’t like fake at all, no fake face, fake orgasm, fake smile or fake character can get my approval.
There is one exeption though …
The over the top fake, that fake is funny from my point of view.
So please, don’t ever take fake seriously, it will give you wrinkles.
