I wanted a pictures of us to send the kids on our anniversary and didn't want to take the time to set up the tripod and do it half way right, so I just took the P&S and held it at arms length on wide angle. Niether of us liked it and Joy will kill me when she finds out I posted this but here goes.
    Wow OT you landed a fox! With eyes like that I am sure you have the girls swooning all over the place.

    ghost pic

    I'll join in the fray... Except, I don't have any self-portrait pics other than cheesy vacation pics w/ my sig. other, so I'm posting this not-very-successful attempt at a ghost photo. The more consp_icuous figure is my sig. other. I am the figure you can barely make out stepping towards her from the left. The setting is Nat's hood - Rockport, MA.

    Re: Self-Portraits

    Ok, ok, I'm convinced. I have one other pic of myself. It's not really in the league of some others that have been posted. But it's at least a self-pic. I did mirror this one so the letters read properly- this was taken in the bathroom mirror. It's more to my liking than the other one I posted, since pretty much none of my face is showing. ;) I would, however, like to see my eye open if I do this one again.
    But then again, what about that one portrait of Ali that's only his gloves? Does a portrait have to show someone's face? Hmmm....
    Some really awesome pics on this thread- keep it up, guys- you rock!

    Speed,

    Buddy, though you clearly lacking the charm, grace, looks, and humility that I have, you are a perfect idol to the God of Self-Portraitism.

    A few more shots like these and the PR chicks might come hunt you down there in Nawth Caylina... warn your wife!!

    Thanks for keeping the self-portrait spirit alive! You do me proud - tear -

    aaahhhhhhhhhhh...

    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 am 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...

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

    Thanks again guys!

    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.

    A recent shot of me

    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.
