Welcome to the 2011 LENSCRATCH Self-Portrait Exhibition. I am always excited to see how photographers choose to express themselves through self portraiture. A big thank you to all the contributing photographers for sharing your inner and outer selves, your humor, your life, and revelations. The genre of self portraiture is a universal expression of our humanity and ourselves. So express yourself!
