Photo Hunt: Self (yourself or part of you)

in PhotoHunt, Photography

Hi!

I took this photo back in February. I was hanging out in the car while Ed went in to Chick-Fil-A to buy us lunch. We were on our way to hike, so, of course, I had the camera with me. The dogs were in the “way back,” and I was bored, so I started taking photos of myself. I rather like this one. (Narcissistic much?)

I’m looking forward to seeing what folks do for this week’s Photo Hunt. Join us, won’t you?

It really is comfy. No kidding.

Never leave you alone with the camera! Just kidding. Great photo and have a good week.

Yeah, leaving me alone with the camera CAN be a bad idea. :)

Thank you for the compliment.

I thought sure enough you were going to tell us you were working under the dashboard…hotwiring someone’s car!!

Mine’s posted. “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours”. [and it's not what you think! ::giggles::]

Oh, Anni. You are a… um… hoot. ;)

Nice shot - looks like you were having fun!

Thank you, Annie. I was having fun. :)

12 Sister Sassy 05.31.08 at 9:50 am

Fun shot. Pretty impressive to take it at that angle by yourself. Good job! and thanks for stopping by!

Thank you. I may never take another good self-portrait. But I got one. Yay! :)

That’s exactly what my daughter always does: take pictures of herself. I hardly ever do and had to think hard on what part of me I would share for this weeks theme.

I’ve noticed that by photographing myself — and seeing the sometimes disastrous results — I’m learning how to better shoot other things “blind.” Does that make any sense?

14 Liza 05.31.08 at 10:31 am

love the angle! great pic :)

mine’s up!

Thanks so much, Liza. :)

15 CrAzY Working Mom 05.31.08 at 11:03 am

I love that shot. So much fun. Great to see what you look like.

Thanks so much, Carver! :)

18 JC 05.31.08 at 2:39 pm

As long as you’re having fun that’s all that matters… what better way to kill some time waiting in the car!
Terrific shot… wonderful smile!

Thanks so much, JC. ::: blushes ::::

19 Jientje 05.31.08 at 2:48 pm

Very well done! What being boreds can lead to huh, … a great picture perhaps?

Thanks so much! :)

Are you ready for Weekly Winners tomorrow? I have a TON of photos this week (18 — EEK!).

20 Amy 05.31.08 at 3:50 pm

What a great smile! We ate at Chick-Fil-A for the first time ever while traveling to OBX last week. They have some yummy sandwiches and their nuggets were awesome!

Hi, Amy! :) Nice to see you..

Chick-Fil-A pretty much ROCKS! Did you enjoy your time in OBX? Vacation (if I can be nosey)?

21 Jendeis 05.31.08 at 5:06 pm

Here from NaComLeavMo. Yum, Chik-Fil-A! They don’t have any near my house. :(

Sigh… maybe someday…

22 DC 05.31.08 at 5:14 pm

Love the upside-down-while-crammed-in-the-car photo! :)

Thank you, DC. :)

23 Kyle 05.31.08 at 5:39 pm

cute!!! great picture of you!

They don’t have chik fil a in Chile…and it’s sad because i love their ice cream :(

Thank you, Kyle. I think of that photo as the “real” me, and I’m glad to have it.

Mmm… Chick-Fil-A ice cream. :)

24 storyteller 05.31.08 at 9:09 pm

I love Chick Fil-A!!! Interesting to see who shares lovely smiles like you and who (like me) chooses a small piece to reveal. Fun Photo Hunt choice today! Mine ‘piece of me’ is at Small Reflections with lots of other Saturday Stuph.
Hugs and blessings,

Howdy! Thanks so much for the compliment. :)

And Chick-Fil-A ROCKS!

Purdy.

Thank you. :)

26 Burgh Baby 05.31.08 at 11:51 pm

I think 90% of the photos that I have of myself are self-portraits. You do a much better job than I do!

Thank you!

But you haven’t seen all the rejected self-portraits. :)

27 Byrningbunny 06.01.08 at 12:17 am

lol I’m loving seeing all of the original ideas for this week’s pics. Great shot! You have a beautiful smile!

Thank you so much!

28 Sandy (Momisodes) 06.01.08 at 12:17 am

What a great shot and angle :) I’m sitting here in front of my monitor with my head tilted ;)

Thanks so much, Sandy! :) (And untilt you head. It’s been like that since Sunday!)

29 ellen b 06.01.08 at 11:36 am
