Be "Moore" Willing...

O.k. so this was a little difficult to do if you want the truth... More than actually taking a self portrait- setting up a tripod and angles and trying to put the timer on and run, get into a position you THINK will work- only to hold a smile for 10 seconds (or realize that your hair is IN your eye on second 8...) Run back and look at a blurry image of your nostrils... But Kelly Moore set up a challenge to shoot a self portrait. I believe the purpose was for us, the photographer, to feel what it is like on the other side of the camera. To actually have to live up to our constant commands of "smile, tilt, step over slightly, no, no, ok, right there, don't move... oh, I don't really like it. One more time- sorry." That is what I sound like anyway. It really was a lot harder than I thought it would have been. I thought I would set up and take a couple of quick pics- then 3 hours later.... I had to think (Yes, I do that on rare occasions...)about a lot of things really so this was a fun pair of shoes to wear for a bit.. Anyway, this is my self portrait montage- Hope you like them- personally, I hate images of myself.... but what the heck- it is the beginning of a new year and a new me. ~S.
