There’s Got to be a Metaphor Here Somewhere…

Else I’m just terribly inept.

Which is totally possible.

Self-Portrait One

So I tried the whole self-portrait thing which all of you seem to excel at... And either I'm half-vampire or I totally suck at this.

Self Portrait Two

At least this one has the other half. That's gotta count for something, right?

Self Portrait Three (Copy Cat)

Even the ones WITH the camera didn't work out as expected. Bah.

The Lonely Baseball

I'll stick to the greener patch, thanks.

Ruby Blue

...Oh Ruby Blue.

Put 'em Up

I loved that she was in the background picking up sticks while he's making his fighter's face... Foreshadowing, maybe?

    i like your self-portraits… really… I have found that the longer I do self portraits, the better I get at them… much like other things… practice, practice, practice helps. :)

    I rather like those self-portraits. The ones *I* take of myself, however, are horrid. Love the pic of the boy in the foreground with the girl in the back – very nice!

    You need to do more of those. Not because you need to practice, but because I really dig em!
