photo challenge week 1 – self portrait

July 29, 2011 by Erin 9 Comments

I really want to learn how to use my fancy shmancy DSLR camera…… that I’ve had for almost two years….. and have never taken off of auto! So, I joined this fun 20 week photo challenge at ‘A Step in the Journey‘. I really love that it is only once a week and not every day. That would stress me right out.
Check it out here.
It’s not too late to join in the fun.
Who cares if you missed a week!?
Actually, you still have till Wednesday night to add your 1st week pic…..so come on.

Anyway… the first week is self portrait. It was REALLY hard for me to take a pic of myself. I much prefer to be behind the camera. I took many, and I’m not totally in love with any….but here are a few. ๐Ÿ™‚ Luckily week 20 is self portrait again, so I have another chance.

    Kudos, my friend! I really like the first one. It looks like you are a voyeur… ๐Ÿ™‚ Which you are, no doubt.

    I also really like the second one cause I feel like that was probably the most organic and really was “true life captured.”

    Of course, you are certainly BOOOOOTiful in all.

    Thanks everyone for the comments! I think it’s kind of funny that my smile looks like a smirk….I never knew that until I saw these. I guess I always smile nice when I someone else is taking the picture. And my default must be that smirk. humm.
