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.”

I have nothing to add (365:232) – Today was a bad day. ’nuff said.

More proof that my camera takes colour pictures (365:231)- Now I’m playing with more lights. 2 pictures

I thought I ought to prove that my camera does have a colour sensor. My recent pictures would indicate otherwise (365:230) – Still playing with new lighting set-ups.

Gary + wall = picture (365:229) – Playing with some new lighting set-ups. 2 pictures

Sometimes there is a huge disparity between how I feel and how I appear to others (365:228) – Wine does help though.

Working late (365:227) – Lots to do and I’m not getting a lot of sleep.

Sitting at the kitchen table (365:226).

If I look a little surprised (365:225) – It’s because this wasn’t meant to be my picture for today.

It’s Friday. Put your feet up and take a break (365:224) – Or FUTAB is it is often referred to on Flickr.

Gary in the van (365:223) – at church after the Thursday evening service.

More hours in front of a monitor (365:222) – This time researching, reading and learning.

Gary upside down with his head under the deck of a Kayak (365:221) — No, it’s not very well framed, but if you think I was going to extricate myself from being jammed under the foredeck of the kayak just to check if the darned picture was alright, you are very much mistaken.

Making plans (365:220) – I just wish they included hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking or fishing. Unfortunately they didn’t.

It’s me and the wall again (365:219).

Gary and Ginger at the dinner table (365:218) – Ginger said this picture needed some color. Now it has.

Making a spice rack for Ginger (365:217) – Well actually only the back of it. One-minute read, 3 pictures

Day 216 (365:216)

Pumping gas (365:215) – And the price is slowly coming down again.

In-car thermometer reading 111 F.

Today the temperature in Joplin Missouri was 111°F (365:214) – That’s 44°C to my overseas chums.2 pictures

Manly shopping (365:213) – Carol and Jim came to town today. Which means I got to go places with lots of power tools and other exciting stuff.

This month we finished our vacation in the UK. I met with an old school friend I’d not seen in nearly forty years; I took Ginger to a sleepy seaside town I’d last visited on holiday with my Grandparents sometime in the sixties, spent a day on the beach in Portsmouth, and said our goodbyes to our family in the UK.

Actually, unlike Shirley Valentine, I’ve not taken to talking to the wall. Though I had better not discount the possibility entirely. I might even have a sensible conversation.

Gary and Ginger at Emily and Larry’s Wedding reception (365:211) – Which explains the somewhat curious and questionable lighting.

Gary, Sprinky and Inspector Morse (365:210) – It was good to find that Netflix have the Inspector Morse DVDs. But as they also have such UK masterpieces as the ‘Biederbeck Tapes’ I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised.
