I've noticed a large number of self-portraits by women on flickr.com, and I am amazed at their beauty and authenticity. They're human and real and display a wide range of complex emotions, not the empty stares of models with flawlessly Photoshopped skin. Maybe these self-portraits are partly a reaction to the way women are portrayed and objectified in a sex & porn-obsessed, male-dominated world; a way of saying "hey, look, this is me! This is who I really am." I would truly appreciate a female perspective on this topic....
