Having decided to go for the 30 Days Hath November, I have to confess to having had something of a panic/freak out moment when I realised that I was going to have to post a photo of me - and even worse a photo of me taken by me. I know a lot of people don't like having their picture taken - but that's not it, I don't mind having my picture taken if I don't look like a bloody heffer. At the moment I HATE how I look so much that photos of myself seem like deliberate attacks on my equilibrium. The concept of a self portrait feels about as welcome as a bout of self harm, frankly. I know this isn't a particularly healthy way to be, and I have been trying to come to terms with parkrun photos, whilst also working on the weight issue.
Once I'd stopped stressing out last night, I actually got my camera out, and started to play. I'm not good at self portraits! Not just because I hate the subject, but because I don't like taking photos without being able to use the view finder... maybe I need to practise!
Note the newly constructed desk in the background, the books, and the big fluffy cat on the desk.
Wow, that was stressful.
To think, I'm actually quite a well adjusted individual *splutter*
This self-portrait is very detailed because compared to many others I have seen, this one contains a lot of personality in the background i.e. part of a room, shelves and a kitty where a computer should be.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the state you're in when you took it and how much you hate it it's a great photo. :)
