Photo Friday: self portraits! (because you're beautiful)

post by: flapjax at midnite at: 07:33 | 41 comments

I took this week's theme and ran with it, at a pet shop in Yokohama, day before yesterday. Hope you won't think I'm too self-fish...

Really ancient self-portrait. Out in the café in the woods, cirka 1991, wearing my army uniform. I think this was taken with my Minolta camera, which had a quirky timer, one could never really tell when it would say "click".

Oh Rich, your beautiful curly locks are gone! You look dynamite there, but man you have perfect ringlets...

Here's an old cell phone pic and me in some stage makeup:

Heh, this is a good looking bunch, isn't it? Specklet, fret not, I'm sure I'll miss an appointment and end up with silly long hair again one day. It seems to happen regularly!

A few years ago in Washington Square Park. . .right off the plane and train, trying to get bearings on a hot day.

Pretty sure I've posted this one here before, but it's probably the only self-portrait I've got:

Some beautiful, artsy photos in here. I chose to depict the banality of modern day office life, so if you think it looks boring, that's because it's supposed to look like that...

I have no idea why I like this one but it kinda cracks me up even though it's a bit scary:

Like the Whelk, it apparently takes me exactly 4 minutes to take a photo and upload it:

Is it allowed to use an old one? Because I am a little vain and this is me at my best.

These are fabulous! I got a little carried away - I actually took some self portraits yesterday for the first time in ages.

Giving up on the self timer and just holding the camera at arms length. A little alarming, but there you have it.

And the whoo whoo sexy myspace version with the camera in the mirror and a whole lot ;-) of cropping.

This was, like, 5 years ago. I don't often take photos of myself, for obvious reasons.

jessamyn, I was going for something sexier and then tried a new position and then I WAS FALLING but Steve (my voice-activated remote) just kept hitting the shutter and I was all OMG STOP I AM FALLING FOR REALS and he laughed then helped me stop falling.
