There's something special about taking your own portrait (self-portrait). Anybody can take a photo of you, but only you can do the hard bit about choosing how you want to be seen. It's not that we don't want to see your handsome visages taken by other people, but that we want YOU to shoot them and present them yourselves.
self-por·trait:
 n. A pictorial or literary portrait of oneself, created by oneself.


Edit: I merged the two "show us your mug" threads. :)

    Heh.. well, if you go look at my profile, you'll see one of my classic poses.. (my b-i-l caught my dear father digging for gold, so my sisters and I took the opportunity to poke some fun). Let's see here.. nothing exactly recent, but within a year.. (taken with an exceedingly poor camera, the Sony Mavica F73 - it uses floppies! ROFLE!)

    Excuse me, fellers, but NO ONE said anything about it having to be a self portrait. We have this one character on our board, Bangbang, used to be a nurse at one of the state mental hospitals in Michigan, he shared with us once one of the most... moving, haunting self-portraits I have ever seen. He called the place The Big House. I just wanted to post this shot because it affects in a deeply personal manner.

    Umm.. no, I've never been to Michigan. Actually only ever been to the midwest once, Kansas. This is a friend from online (I have many), he's in Michigan. I don't know if I would like it in Michigan... I hear the fishin's pretty good!

    fish, the title and the starting thread don't jive! Clearly, mine is not a self-portrait. I only have a few of those.. and I look really goofy (hey, my arms are short!). <giggle>
