the woman who stares out at me from the mirror

is not always the woman I know myself to be

Fantasy Self-Portrait
Fantasy Self-Portrait

Published by Jo Bryant

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

      1. Yes, the shell that separates our true self from the world may be fear, that’s solely my thought…..like the fear of being judged!
        I am not sure, and, I request you to check out my latest short story, if possible

  5. Oh, I agree! When I look in the mirror, I’m always expecting the university student I still think I am and, instead, there’s this other “supposed to be mature now” thing looking back at me 🙂
    Love the photo

  10. Why she’s got flowers in her hair. Am all for fantasy self portraits.

    Do you know the song by the Lumineers ‘Flowers in Your Hair’. If not it just happens to be in the audio bar at the bottom of my blog page at that the moment.

    1. Cause she really has an inner hippy trying to get out among all that turmoil and burning desire…that’s why !!! Just listened to it…very cool.

  15. Right? I’m not always sure who I’ll see when I look. Does that make me Sybil? Or versatile and flexible?
    I really like that pic. Worth the time, I’d say. 🙂
