. . -#JJ COMMUNITY FORUM-. . How does @miraleo's picture make you feel? Maybe you're disgusted, scared, angry that I would make you look at something ugly? Have you made a deal with photography that you'll pay attention as long as it for the warm fuzzies? I'd encourage you to rethink that idea. It's up to you, but what would happen if, for a day, a week maybe, you let the ugly stuff in too. The ugly is there. We're never gonna escape it. In my experience the best we can do is not be afraid to sit with it. It's a lot less work. That's what I want in my life. I'm sick of running from the stuff that makes me uncomfortable. Sick if trying so hard to get away. I'm gonna try something different. Weird idea? Lets talk about it. Lear me a comment below. I'll try and explain more what I mean. . Everyday we get together and post our best images to a new #JJ forum gallery based on a theme. Our @JJ_editors browse that gallery through out the day and highlight their favorite shots. It's a great way to meet some of Instagram's most passionate photographers and to get your work seen. . Todays theme is inspired by a conversation I had recently about the role of the profile pic with @amberholritz. Today show us a "Self Portrait". Tag your images to the #jj and #jj_forum_0402 galleries. You know how we work around here guys. We're about connecting. Being authentic. Don't show us what you think we're looking for. Show us a piece of who you really are.
