Probably one of my favorite photos — Photos by JoAnn Ryan

There are two things I love… well, as far as writing on Medium goes anyway. I love checking out people’s personal photos, especially their “selfies” and I love it when people introduce themselves, whether it be through their About Me Stories or the Writer Spotlight Series on my travel publication Globetrotters.

About a year ago, I still remember a related challenge by Mary Chang Story Writer at Six Word Photo Story, wherein writers were asked to post a “self” photo and provide a little info about themselves, and it was so much fun!

So, here is my own challenge post as an example of how this could go, followed by just a few ground rules… only so that the fun factor is accentuated as much as possible.

Have you ever just gotten all dressed up just for the heck of it?

The first photo above is the one I’ve probably gotten the most compliments on ever. I put on a nice dress, a little make-up and did my hair — for no other reason than… just for the heck of it — and to take the photo of course.
