Self portraits...that time of year

Sorry Adina, I just did what the photographer told me to do. We had just finished her hip-hop sequence. I'm not even good enough for two left feet. When it comes to dance, I'm one hell of a photography instructor.

Here's one I got accidently the other day. I have taken better, but this is the most recent.

OK, here's one I took a few months back. It'll have to hold you over until I can take something new. Maybe some shots of me and Dawn....

Here are a couple more that I don't think have been posted here yet. The first is me in the Salt Lake City office - my basement :D

The second is a, well, you can see what it is.

Love the new office! That second one rocks!

"If I remember correctly, sometimes there's nudity involved!" :eek:

One time! And I did post a warning with it.

And for the record, Rick has also posted nude self portraits on this forum.

Ah... my favorite 2 words :D

Lucky for you, I just got my high speed internet turned on this morning.

Luckier yet, I have been running around the southwest taking pictures of myself recently :D

The backside of Antelope Canyon in May:

There that should make up for my absence and self portrait dry spell recently :D

that second one looks familiar...

Rick!

You've been busy!

Adina the genie is out of the bottle now what will we do?? Some great images in some amazing places Rick.

But the burning question is: "Were you wearing clothes or not?"

Hard to tell in that shot...

Nope, not here either. :)

Speed, if something's burning, you should consult your doctor. Us photogeeks aren't going to be able to help.

Haha you crack me up Speed! I'll leave it up to your imagination dude. I did go skinny dipping in that lake but not until I was already in the water :D

I think this board has seen my bum enough by now.

Thanks Larry. It's always a pleasure to explore this country. More pictures without me in them to come soon.

Yes! Well, these are collected over the last several months. I finshed my internship last month and kinda went nuts since then :)

"you should consult your doctor. Us photogeeks aren't going to be able to help."

Apparently I phrased that poorly, given all the grief I'm getting.

I should have said "Inquiring minds want to know".

That's it, now I'm going to start posting more nude self portraits...

Less abstract. Maybe you will prefer the abstract after these :D

Thanks for the warning! This thread is officially blocked!


:D

Ahhh Speed...I've missed you. :)

It's threats of a naked Speed that make me glad I don't see so well.

I was out of town for 3 1/2 days last week, for a continuing education workshop in Statesville (300 miles from home). When I had signed up for it, the wife was planning on going with me. Then she took a new job, and she can't take leave for the first six months, so I had to go alone.

Of course I took my camera and my tripod, so Tuesday night, I set it up, took this self portrait, downloaded it onto her laptop,and emailed it to her. I titled the email "Missing You". She really liked it. So much so, that she showed it to every woman in the Health Department, with a "look at my man" attitude.

"If I remember correctly, sometimes there's nudity involved!" :eek:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on PR....

From the diabolical mind that brought you "Speed - NUDE!!!"....

From the twisted mentality, that as Rick stated "I guess you're the first to break the "full frontal nude" self portrait barrier "....

Comes another chilling episode in self portraits...

More shots of Speed, in the nude...

Speed,

You creep me the **** out. :)

Now, to TRY and steer this thread into a less disturbing direction...

On the flight to Dublin after visiting Poland.

"Speed,

Aha! Success!!!

;-)

"Now, to TRY and steer this thread into a less disturbing direction..."

You are successful my friend. That is a GREAT self portrait! And having your reflection in the glass is an added bonus. Kudos!
