Do You Want To Take My Picture???

October 27, 2007

I’m so far behind on uploading my self portraits! I don’t know how I’m going to make through the whole 365 days…I’m already sick of my own face! And I have got to start uploading these as I take them instead of leaving them all on my camera for days. I’m about a week behind, but I’m just going to put up a few for today and I’ll put up the rest tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to run them through Photoshop :)

Day 45:

Look hard, the reflection of my hands and camera is in there. That is my reflection in the window of the train while the scenery blurs by. The picture was taken last Friday, on my way back home from Talca after spending a day with the lovely Raybelles, my only girlfriend in Chile! We had such a wonderful afternoon together and I also kind of fell in love with the trains here in Chile. Even though the organization that runs them is one of the most corrupt in the whole country, I loved being able to travel comfortably and enjoy the scenery the whole way there-pure trash and poverty on the way through any cities we passed and then beautiful rolling green hills everywhere else. I actually meant to do a whole post on the day but never seemed to find the time.

Day 46:

This is me after a run. I know the photo is severely overexposed but I really just wanted to get my self portrait of the day out of the way, take a shower and climb in bed. I didn’t have time to manually adjust the settings on my camera to make sure everything came out properly :)

Day 47:


I asked S. to take a few pictures of me out on our patio at night for these shots. The lighting is from a flourscent overhead bulb hanging right over me. I liked the way these came out because they’re a bit different from all the typical boring shots of me in our room that I always take.

Day 48:

I could not get this damn orange started! Even with a knife, that thing’s peel was like an armored shell that repelled my every effort to get in. I thought for sure that it was going to be the best, most delicious, juiciest orange in the world. Why else would Mother Nature have gone to such great lengths to protect it? But, alas, I bit in, and it sucked. After all the effort it wasn’t even good, it had a bitter taste. Stupid orange.

  1. You probably have thought of this already, but Day 48 would be a great Halloween shot. You look like you could sprout fangs at any second and attack the orange like a vampire. :)

  2. Your pics make me realize how much more creative I need to get with my self-portraits…

  3. Actually I like day 46. It looks very chilling…It is so white and then your blue eyes are the only things to really focus on—no pun intended.

  4. Yes, I thought day 48 was an intentional Halloween shot. I thought that was a little gourd you were holding .. and your hair looks like it has some kind of glitter or star dust in it.
