Vote for Truer

I need your help!

Everyone who has responded to my autobiographical series Truer, please take a moment and make your feelings known by reblogging the picture below, tagging it #100Portraits and sending me a link: info@sophiawallace.com  

100 Portraits has been a huge success, covered by The New Yorker, Wired, NPR, aCurator, Washington Post and more.  @Flak Photo wants to know which image is your favorite. If my image speaks to you, I’d be grateful for you to say that NOW. 

I am donating a 20x24 print of this image, #4 in the edition,  to the Benefit Auction for Slideluck Potshow in December. More on that later. 

Re-blogging and feedback is Appreciated and Highly Encouraged!
