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.”

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.

Waistcoat (365: 38) — My other shot was so negative I had to go with this one or give up.

Something Traditional (365: 37) — Something traditional = No imagination today.

Sunday Reading. +2

Sunday Reading (365: 36) — I like the shadow at the top of the frame, I noticed it before I started taking the shot and wanted to include it.

Negative Space.

Day-036 Reject — I Knew there was a reasonable picture in the dozens I took. It took a long time to find it, and even then, it’s meh.

Don’t Look Now (365: 35) – At the very last moment I’ve decided that this is my photo for today.
