Self-Portraits

That's a relief. This thread seemed kinda empty without me in it :)

Thanks Nat for "making me look good" (wink wink wink) and for posting a few of me in my time of need.

Speed - believe it or not buddy I actually <i>am</i> a pretty serious-looking guy. My friends here that I've met in person would attest to that, I'm sure. I just save my "good" shots for you guys... :D

Now if I had your grin (and wife! - just kidding) I could pull of "happy looking" all day :D

Thanks again guys!

Rick

Oo, you do want to post shots of flamenco, don't you? :)

I'll pass on that.... I was just mentioning because I supposed that John couldnt tell what kind of shoes I was wearing, and they are similar... instead of taps ... the heels and toes are pounded with nails.

Here is one of me brandishing my Indian sword.

or at least my interpretation of it. :)

Thought I'd throw my silly attempt in the ring. Used the Speed method of holding my camera at arm's length. ;)

Here I am, about a week and a half ago. I'm bending the rules posting this picture, since I asked my husband to take this shot of me. And I know it is really just a snapshot, not a portrait. But what the heck, I'm joining in on this thread anyway. :)

Wow. You may be melodramatic, but you are sure are attractive :) However, I'm twice your age, hence reaching "dirty old man" status.

Doh! you're right about the seat. I was trying to be funny and I just end up looking silly. Oh well :)

This was done on Friday, after seeing a photo exhibit.

I actually don't like taking pics but I think this one came out okay...

Speed, I was going to comment on your girlish figure...but before I do, let me ask. Are you pregnant, or is it a trick of the light? :)

Great Pic Nina! Nice to meet you and Welcome to the boards :)

WHAT???

Are you pregnant, or is it a trick of the light? :)

To which photo are you referring, my dear?

I am middle aged, you know. Perhaps you're referring to my middle age buffet muscle? ;-)

Speed, I hope for your sake Adina is talking about my photo, because I am pregnant. LOL!

I'm pretty sure she was referring to you, but she did address it to me. :-O

I couldn't resist giving her a hard time about it. ;-)

ACK!

Sorry, I meant Spike!

Perhaps, Speed, you're looking a little "padded" around the middle lately, and that's why I was confused. :)

adina

Oh yeah...

Congrats Spike!

cool shirt...did Gene take it or did you...? Good pic

Well, what can i say, i have a party coming up where i have to dress up like a porn star, this is one i find very, very funny!
Mirrors and all.

Okay, okay. With the recurring rash of self-portaits I felt it was time to dig up this thread from October. I had a new one lately that people were "gushing" over (people of the female persuasion!). My dad even said I look like what's-his-name from the Lord of the Rings movies (the elf guy).
I took this with a borrowed Olympus p&s. Took a heck of a lot of work from the original to look a little less worn out than I really am...
I must also give modeling credit to my guitar, who was not interested at all in having his picure taken then :D .

cool you do look like the elf guy a bit... cool angle---up the contrast...

glad you revived this thread!

shhhh I had to revive myself a bit too(dark circles and tired eyes)...not a spring chicken anymore... my goal is to do a straight on one with no PSing

Hey I'm glad you pulled this thread out of moth balls. I was just looking back over some of the pictures and remembered Spike's condition when we last heard from her. Has anyone talked to her. Would love to know how she is doing and about the baby. Hope I didn't miss a thread with an update some where along the line. If any one knows please fill the less informed of us in. Thanks.

The joys of long timers on cameras. I'm the guy in the tux, and my friend and 'bond girl' Amy.

This is not for the tiara. Maybe another time. Meanwhile, the elephants looked lonely. . .
