 "I Just Gotta be Me! · Standard Editing
 Someone (or something) being different, that's the idea. Shoot it"

		| | I think it means "I do not care how the rest of the world thinks I should look or act, I am an individual and I have to honor that." Or, something to that effect. |

		| | I really really wish I knew.  This is another where the challenge title "I Just Gotta Be Me" suggested one thing to me so I went out shooting with that in mind.  Then later I read the description carefully: "Someone (or something) being different, that's the idea" and I said, "Well, phooey!!" 
 So I shot what I though was someone or something being itself (a self that many of us would not want to be) . . . you know, "I just gotta be me!"
 
 But now I think that's wrong and I should have found someone or something that was being different from what it normally was. Tell me again why we have descriptions on some of the challenges??
 
 Edit to add: and now I'm reading Mark's take and I'm thinking, "Yes, that is what I thought, too."

 I agree with your explanation.
