    Ummmm.... Self Portrait

    I have been experimenting with selfs as of late, this one just made me laugh. It may not be the greatest shot ever, but funny? Yes!

    I call it: "Reading"

    Thanks Penny!

    I don't know that my selfs are all that good. I just enjoy doing them. My true passion is nature, but I like to play around with the most willing subject I know.

    Have you ever posted any of yours? I would like to see that. I might get some inspiration!
