Not as many entries this week

But next weeks task is a Self Portrait as Mexican Bandit!
Now thats a good one no?
This is a special one - everyone who does their Mexican self-portrait will get a wee feature/bio/interview in the magazine. Major plans are underway to get the Bandits in print. It's looking hopeful!
