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.”

End on.

Tension.

Disappointing (365: 109) – Re-edited, so no longer straight out of camera. However, I think this is a much better picture.

Modesty (365:108) – My ‘artistic’ notion was to challenge the idea of modesty. Can a naked person be modest? 3

Lovely Eyes (365: 107)

Keeping Trim (365: 106). This started as a bit of a reprise of my Day 2, though I’ve got a set of mains powered clippers now and so don’t trim my beard in the bathroom.

Yeah, well — My second attempt at my daily picture was to use the mirror, but I didn’t like the shots. I accidently set the timer to two seconds and pulled a stupid face to save wasting electrons.

Saturday in the sun (365: 105) – Just for a change I thought I’d take a picture straight after coming home from the traditional Saturday morning shopping (more nice ties bought), and before enjoying an afternoon basking in the sun. 1   5

Copycat, Copycat (365: 104). Mindfulgirl’s 365 picture looked so posh today, what with her matching outfit and tasteful decor, that I thought I ought to bring her back to her photographic reality.

Stairway to Nowhere.

Looking for… (365: 103) – heaven knows, but I’ve not found it. I’d settle for a couple of photo ideas. 2

Reclining (365: 102) — I took 40 pictures, and only this one was good enough. Looking back at this picture, I realize it’s probably one of the few images I’m uncomfortable sharing.

Clasp (365: 101).

In a corner (365: 100).

By the beach — Gary + hedge.

On the beach (365: 99) – I had to wade into the sea, to get one shot, so I thought I might as well take my 365 days self-portrait at the same time … 1

Out for a ride — I borrowed the PM’s bike and tried to see if I could find some photographs. Funny how I ended up sunbathing on the nudist beach.

Storytime – ‘Extend your Range’ (365: 97) — AmbrosiaLove started it, Ginger Blue took it up, and Wenchy couldn’t resist. And now there’s a mini challenge. And I couldn’t resist another copycat opportunity either.

Where is Eeyore’s Tail?

What a Difference a Beer Makes – Product Placement (365: 96) – Today Thursdays and the 365 days project conspired to really get me down.

I Don’t like Thursdays – By Thursday I’m so tired I’m just useless for anything, so Thursday’s tend to be the worst day of my week.

Up Close (365: 95) — Too close in fact, despite using a bit of zoom to try and prevent the distortion.

Tempting (365: 94) – 365 days can do this to you…

And why not? (365: 93) – My planned 365 days picture was okay, but too mundane, so I took this.
