Self Portraits
Let's start off by saying that I am not photogenic. I was going to try out my little tripod my daughter got me for Christmas, but before I knew it, the alloted 20 minutes of actual sunshine we get here in NY was gone. So, I did the tried and true 'hold the camera out in front of you' instead. I was stunned that I actually liked so many of the pictures and have posted three instead of the requisite one.

I like this one because I think this is how I usually look (yep, a bit of a smirk).
I like this one because my eyes look really big and I like the contrast of how I look without glasses. Maybe if I hadn't waited for 20 minutes to get someone at LensCrafters to help me and then left when they wouldn't, I'd know how I'd look in contacts all the time, eh?
I like this one because I think I look really young - any guesses on how old I am ?! hehe
Perhaps I will start doing a self portrait every Saturday this year... hmmmmm

I cannot believe that you do not think you are photogenic! I love how you look and you did a great job capturing yourself in these photos - especially the one with the glasses! Those are very cool!
