#10: Self Portrait

Time to get on the other side of the camera! The theme for this round is 'self portrait'. Scary for some, done many times by others, you always have your subject handy so that should give you plenty opportunities to get shooting! Something artsy, something classic, color or black and white, all self portraits are welcome!




All your entries go here! You can start posting now; this challenge will close on the 24th of July '10. See also the rules and information and the challenge chit-chatter threads.

    Ha ha! That is hilarious! Did you think of it while brushing your teeth too!? I felt like a little kid playing with the mirrors... only slightly more intense cause I was holding the rollers up to the bottom of the mirror with one hand and a couple thou of camera equipment on my head with the other hand and trying not to look like a doof at the same time. Not sure if I succeded with the last part.
    Alrighty! Lets see it! :)

    I have been thinking of inovative ways to make a self portrait and then I thought of the mirrors in the up stairs bathroom fold open into 3rds. Yours turned out way prettier than mine did and for that reason there is no way I am posting mine up.bowdown.gif Back to the drawing board....headscratch.gif

    It is just a medicine cabinet that folds open... So just 3. I am thinking this should be the new trend for police line up photos.... seriously, every profile option possible, eh?

    I guess I'll give it a shot at the last minute...rolleyes1.gif...don't know if it counts being psoted at 1:33 AM Eastern time on the 25th (as if it has any chance against the amazing photos in this thread), but since the rules say, "...up to and including the 24th of that same month (Pacific US time)." I figured I might have just squeaked in... either way, C and C appreciated...
