{All About Me}

"Huh?  What?  All about HER?  Ok, she's full of herself!"  Haha! ;)  Here's the thing...I follow a blog for photographers that encourages photographers to step out of their comfort zones.  So, this week's challenge to photographers is to step out from behind the camera (where most of us photographers would rather be) and to get in front of the lens.

So, I did.

It was grueling.  Self-portraits are NOT something I'm fond of doing.  But, I'm generally up for a challenge.  The next step was - we had to share these self-portraits with someone.  Who better to share them with than all of you lovely people :)  Anyone who *really* knows me, knows that I do.not.like.being.in.front.of.the.camera.  I just don't.

Do you know how hard it is to take a self-portrait, hand-holding a heavy SLR camera with one hand, trying to focus on SOMETHING?  Not an easy task.  We were also challened to not say anything negative about ourselves, not to over-criticize ourselves, BUT wait...OH.MY.WORD.  The "creases" (aka wrinkles!) under my eyes?  WHERE did those come from?  Ok, ok, I leave you with these. 

Happy Tuesday :)
