Day 71 - Me......Tuesday


I really wanted to do a Me Monday yesterday, but after a busy day I didn't think I could do the self portrait I had planned using the tripod.  I have to admit that before today I had only used the tripod once in my life when trying to take a family picture for our Christmas cards and that wasn't a lot of fun. So, I was having a hard time getting started. Of course I could have kept it simple and just used the i-phone and just take a picture of me, but that would be like cheating again for the second week in a row. Also, I wouldn't be having a real photo challenge, which is what this is all about, right?

Anyway, my initial idea didn't work out because I couldn't find a frame I was going to use in the photo. So, I googled ideas for self portraits and found a girl in front of a cork board full of pictures. So, a light bulb went off in my head. I have this board right next to my computer with some of the pictures I have taken of the kids and decided to pose right next to it. It was a real challenge going back and forth to preview each shot until I got this one. But, I was so glad when I was done because I finally did it. Sorry Pam, Mat and Erin for disappointing  you all yesterday. lol :)...But thank you so much for the encouragement!

    Wahoo!! Great self-portrait. I agree with Pam - you have some mini-me's! Keep working with that tripod. It's definitely not a "one shot and done" when you do self-portraits. If you could only see the huffing and puffing back forth I do for Tummy Tuesdays, you'd die laughing. It's worth the back and forth though - it's nice to have some shots of yourself. Keep it coming!
