Otto Dix: "By reproducing the external form, one captures the inner gestalt". "Self-portraits are confessions of an inner state, they always come as a surprise to me. I look at them and think, why, that's not what you look like at all. There is no objectivity there; only ceaseless transformation; a human being has so many facets. The self-portrait is the best means of studying them"

enjoyed your post over there :)
do you think a blog is a self portrait?
Thanks, Corrine.
A blog can be a self portrait depending upon the extent of details of the self that the blogger will divulge, I think your blog is a great example of a self portrait. I am not so sure about some fo the other blogs that I run into...
