Self Portrait

Pictures of me, taken by myself. I tend to go with the official (365 Days) definition of a self portrait: “A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you” … “The main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject.”

Staring into space (365:255) – I do a lot of mental staring into space, not so much actually gazing into the distance though. I’m having a bit of a mope at the moment. No real reason, just a minor self-pity fest. I’ll shake it off quite quickly. One-minute read

This evening I was momentarily stumped as to where to begin (365:254) – I soon got over it. One-minute read

No Wall (365:253) – After yesterday’s escape into the garden I spent today at my desk.

Yay! Out of the house and no sign of a wall (same basic pose though). Out and about this morning, with a trip to church and WalMart. We spent a fair bit of the afternoon in the backyard where I fed the mosquitoes while we took pictures.

Tedious (365:251) – This 365 days project is a bit tedious at the moment.

Gary at the computer (365:250) – After too many hours spent working at the computer the law of diminishing returns starts to set in. One-minute read.

365:249 – Lately it seems I’ve been running a lot just to stay in the same place. One-minute read

Gary, Lanie and Ginger (hiding at the back) too (365:248)

I could have gotten a much better picture if I’d got the camera out earlier today. I didn’t. Church this morning was at Camp Shawio followed by burgers and conversation. I enjoyed the informal service and had a great time catching up with people afterwards.

Sitting at the kitchen table chatting with Ginger (365:246)

At least this one is in colour.

Just me – reprise (365:244) – Tonight’s picture is a reprise of a picture I took on my first 365. I wore more clothes this time and didn’t treat this one as harshly in post processing as I did the original shot. One-minute read, 2 pictures

At my desk (365:243)

2 am (365:242) – I was working late. One-minute read

McDonald’s, I’m good ‘n cold and I have two egg McMuffins! (365:241) – I love Egg McMuffins. Sorry, but it is true. However, that’s jumping ahead a little bit. I was the first to arrive for Biometrics scanning – which was great because it was all over in ten to fifteen minutes. There is probably a joke to be made about an Englishman, a Jamaican and a Russian waiting in line for Biometrics, but it will have to wait for another day. One-minute read

Chatting with Ginger (365:240) – We had a plan, but it didn’t work out. Tomorrow at 8am I have an appointment to have my biometrics taken to extend my US visa by 10 years.

The problem with dirty glasses (365:239) – I had terrible trouble with this shot.

Gary and Tubby (365:238). 3 pictures

Lit by a black foamie thing (365:237) – I’ve been trying out another attachment on my speedlights.

Working on a new project (365:236) – and of course other work comes in. So I’ve been busy.

Wine and picture editing (365:235) – Working on my latest batch of 365 pictures. Once more faux Lomo is used in an attempt to rescue a mediocre picture.

Meet my camera (365:234) – It’s about time I took another mirror shot. One-minute read

Dressing gown (365:233) – Or robe as the colonials here would have it.
