S&E: 8 (SOOC) Self Portrait

Not a huge fan of self portraits.  I usually look terrible and feel embarrassed to share them.  Plus, still internally debating how much identifying information I want to post out in the great big blog world... 

But - I wanted to give it a go and see what I could come up with.  A handful of self-conscious images, and then this:
SOOC
This is where we park, thank goodness because I never have to shovel snow.  I love you underground parking.  I realized I have pretty tight posture when I'm taking photos:  it was also dark in the garage, and so I was being like a statue to decrease camera shake.  I was trying to experiment with layout, rule of threes and visual lines.

So that's me.  In my brown winter coat, wearing jeans and carrying my camera bag.  A little bit of a cop-out - er, compromise?  I do promise to practice self portraits, and maybe one day I'll get gutsy enough to post an image.  Kudos to all of you who did!

  2. I love the composition on this! I'm a little jealous that I didn't think of it. :) Not that I have a mirror like that to photograph myself in or anything. Looking forward to your edit!
