New Self Portrait thread

As I'm coming up on the anniversary of my crowning, the time has come to consider passing the tiara on to a hopeful contestant. While I didn't achieve world peace, I did get all the old panelling down in my house.

Who's up for it?

<i>One year.</i>

Has it been so long?

Okay, Natalie and Speed, I'll race you both to 1000 self portraits in this thread :)

Ready, GO!!

I have been the unofficial self portraitist for quite sometime now I would say, but I think you are still the reigning queen my dear.

The county has been re-doing their ID cards. Their camera produces an awful green color cast, so I was appointed the official health department photographer. So folks came to me, and I took their photo with the Coolpix 5700. When we got a list together of who didn't have their photo taken, I realized my photo hadn't been taken. So I brought in my tripod and took a self portrait. Nothing special about it, but it is a new one....

You're probably right (take that Rick!) When did you shave that lovely red hair?

Funny thing about that shirt. It's actually brand new, I got it like that. I have two, that one's red and says CocaCola, the other is green and says Sprite.

I protest!! She didn't say "New Self Portraits King" she said "Self Portraits King." So that includes old ones. So there :p :p :p

You're lagging behind 2-0! Neener!

Well, I don't have any "self" portraits, but my granddaughter took one of the best pictures ever of me last month while we were on vacation. I hope you like it...it's one of the only pictures I've ever liked of me. :cool:

This is more like a self-band portrait. (I'm the one in the middle)

Ken, that belongs on a different thread I think ... wasn't there a thread awhile back where we took "self-portraits" that didn't actually show "us" in all completeness? That was a very cool thread. :D

That picture, calling it a "self-portrait", is very interesting. :)

I love it Ken!

I think I would look cute in a tiara, but sadly my images are not up to the sorta snuff that you guys produce.

But that won't stop me from posting with avengence!

Hey, it's all about quantity, not quality :D

And I happen to like yours, even without that cute red hair!

:D hahahaha Kelly, I didn't know about the other post...but...my granddaughter tried so hard trying to catch me in the air doing a cannonball that I thought this would be a good shot and since I hate any picture of me ever taken...even when I was small, I thought it would be fun to post it here... :cool:

Also, GO ALMO...I think Adina should send you her tiara so we could see you in it. :eek: hahahaha

Ken

I never do self portraits. But I hate to let a thread like this go by. So just for fun and with a Sony Mavica 1.5 mg I think and little PS here I am. Oh I am not in the tiara contest!

Let me guess, your favorite character from Tim Allen's show, Home Improvement, was Wilson. :D

I shave it every few months or so. It grows like a buncha' weeds.

Great post-processing. You did a good job here - seriously. ;)

Yep...with a touch of Tim and Al thrown in...Mostly Tim when it comes to cars and fixin' things...hehehehehehehehe
Ken

Alright, may as well throw in my submission. There's another person in the photo with me. The story behind is, Connie (the girl) and I were working on some videos for PYPS Spring Fellowship, the title being "The Love Boat: Staying afloat in the relationship game" So we were doing an introduction video using the love boat theme song, where one of the lines is "An Open Smile, on a Friendly Shore) well we needed a shot of an open smile, and here it is.

Oops! Looks like I'm letting the contenders catch up! Here's another "oldie but goodie." Don't worry, I'll post a new one before the game is over (I'm getting uglier as I get older so I am not photo fodder like I used to be. Aw, who am I kidding I'm still spectacular!)

Well, since I was responsible for the last big SP thread, I have no choice but to participate here. I can't decide what the title of this might be... me giving my "sad" eyes. And to think I decided not to pursue acting! :D
I absolutely hate images of myself. It's not an "I hate the way I look" thing, nor is it a camera-shy thing. It's like when you hear your own voice on a recording.
I just feel a hundred times more comfortable behind the lens. But then, don't we all?
"Tell me what you don't like about yourself." ;)

I got bored a few years ago and played with my webcam.. fun little things.

Ok, so I am not really into self portraits (or into portrait at all). Here is the closest thing that I can find. Yes this is me in the lower left corner...
