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.”

Resting (365: 67). I’ve had a hectic few weeks. Today saw one major item out of the way. Now just two more to go, and then I’ll have some more time.

Looking out to sea. 2

No Fancy Socks (365: 66) — I’d have preferred to have my feet higher up the frame, but it is late, and I don’t have time to set the shot up again.

Breakfast (365: 65) — Anyone thinking our kitchen looked nice should note the unplastered ceiling.

Sunbathing — The first sunny day for ages. So, I am unashamedly enjoying it.

Dieting can damage your wallet (365: 63) — I need some new clothes.

Friday Tie (365: 62) — No inspiration and I wanted a quick end to my pain. Thirty non-descript pictures later and this is all I’ve got to show for it.

Burned Out (365: 61) — I’ve taken a day off to recharge. It is a shame the picture, like me, is a tad burned out despite my best efforts to correct it.

If you are what you eat, then this is me weekdays (365: 60) — I diet weekdays, and have fun at weekends. This is fairly typical weekday fare.

It felt like a long day (365: 59) — I’ve felt tired all day, and I was looking for something that would portray this. The other pictures I took didn’t show the tiredness, this picture seems to capture it a bit more.

Failed attempt — I’ve felt tired all day, and I was looking for something that would portray this. This picture didn’t show the tiredness.

Drowning in Red (365: 58) — I forgot my picture for today, so this is a panic shot; which also resulted in my camera and I having our first lover’s tiff.

Missing element.

Bedhead (365: 57) — I stayed up late and got up late. The light from our north facing window was too good to let pass, I took a load of pictures but settled on this one.

Toast (365: 56) — Toast is normally outside my diet, but I allow myself luxuries at weekends. +1

Safety in Numbers (365:55). 3

Black and White photograph of Gary Allman. March 2007

Safety in Numbers – Reprise – Not the picture I originally picked for this day’s 365. Nine years later and this is the one I prefer.

Turn-On (365: 54). No time for a considered picture today – this will have to be it.

Seeing Red Read (365: 53) — 365 days Mini Challenge – Colour. Guess what the colour is… 2

Watching (365: 52).

Portrait by Oil Lamp – With hindsight, I think this was my best picture of the day. Unfortunately, for my 365 Days picture, I picked something more attention-grabbing.

At Ease (365: 51) – I’ve run out of time. I couldn’t choose a picture so I’ll go with the first. That’s a big problem with self portraits. You end up taking a lot. 1   2

Too Much… (365:50) – I felt a bit rough when I got up this morning, and heaven knows why, but for some masochistic reason, I pointed a camera at myself
