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.”

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

It’s Been a Tiring Week (365: 49). 2

An act of desperation (365: 48) — I’ve been out all day and the pictures I took on the train ‘don’t cut the mustard’ as we say over here.

Drinking to(wards) Summer (365: 47).

How near, how far?

The Naked Chef (365: 46).

In a rush (365: 45) — I’ve no time to spend on a picture today so this will have to do.

I’m with Stoopid (365: 44) — Okay, it’s official. I’m stupid. I left my house keys at work and found myself locked out. So, I went for a beer and a curry while I waited for Elaine to come home and let me in.

Another Shower shot, only this time I didn’t get wet (365: 43) – I thought one of the ideas behind the 365 days project was to help people get to know themselves. This poses a problem when you find you don’t like the person you’ve come to know. 2   2

Waking Up (365: 42).

Essential Maintenance (365: 41) — I had a much more serious pic. but opted for the more light-hearted again.

Retreat — Sometimes, my pictures capture how I feel, and sometimes I’m just acting. We’ll never know which is which.

Planted Reflection (365: 40) — My 365 Days set takes itself far too seriously, so this had to be my choice for today. Taken at the end of a business trip to Leeds.

Leeds Arcades & Market — I’m in Leeds for a business meeting. With some spare time before my flight home, off I went exploring the arcades and the market.

Wrapped in Thought.

I Love my Camera (365: 39) — My Valentine.
