    self portrait fun

    Was at a friends house and in the midst of taking pics of the party...I tried an old tried but true method---hold camera at mirror and take a pic---haven't done that in years...

    It's grainy and blurry--a little creepy(sorta)---but I like it....since I haven't posted any self portraits in a while---enjoy

    P.S. this is my first entry to be reconsidered for the title of self portraitist and reclaim the title....

    "---but please no @$$es this time ...much as I enjoy 'em...."

    I have never shown my @$$ on this or any other site. And I don't think it would be a big thrill for anyone if I did.

    Rickster, on the other hand...

    He's my hero!

    Very nice Nat! It looks very vampiresque to me. Janie would be proud...

    I guess this means I get to take more pictures of me, huh?!

    Re: self portrait fun

    dh's work built a new building, and had an employee's family night. They have the face painting, balloon animals, magician, really go all out. So the kids are getting their faces painted, and I say "hey, you should get a curly mustache". He says "no, not happening" I"m like "oh come on" he says "I will if you will". I said I would if he went first, he said he wasn't going to fall for that one. So I did it. Mind you, this was at the beginning of the night, so I spent two hours at his work with a mustache. When we got home, I made him wait until we took a pic (thank god for digital p&s) before he washed it off.

    I'm going to print it and put it on my night stand.
    I sleep, but I don't rest.
