A sunset self portrait across the pools at the top of Enchanted Rock. Rambling thoughts follow:
This self portrait was taken a few years back when I was still in college at UT. Austin’s a great town, but any city has a way of making you feel lost. Of course, the stress of college classes, roommates and financial troubles didn’t help much either.
So every few months, I’d hit the road. With the top down and the tank full, I’d head out west, usually along Highway 71. The road curves and cuts its way through the heart of Texas hillcountry, and it only ever asks you to stop for fresh fruit on the roadside or a rest stop overlooking a small stream in a big valley.
After a while, the road would take me right up to the south end of Llano. A left turn, and a few more miles, and I’d find myself at the entrance to one of the greatest parks in the state. Enchanted Rock has always been a place for peaceful meditation, and I regret not being able to take the trip more often.
This self-portrait was taken at the end of a long day of hiking, over the pools at the top of Enchanted Rock itself.
Worn out from the hike, I’d head back the way I came, stopping in Llano for some legendary BBQ at Cooper’s. It was usually well past dark by the time I got back onto 71, and about midnight by the time I got back to my apartment in Austin, but I can’t ever remember feeling more refreshed. I do miss it.
Things are good lately :) Real good. Christmas was amazinggggg! My boyfriend's mom and aunt got me that scarf and matching gloves, and I love them! And my parents got me a new light stand and reflective umbrella! I took some self portraits tonight as test shots with my two umbrellas and flashes and I lovelovelove it! Before I was only using one flash with one umbrella and stand but now that I have two it makes such a big difference :D
Okay so, I'm stoked about the new year. I have a feeling it'll be a really good one :) I've decided I'm going to do a 365 this year. I've wanted to for awhile now, but I really didn't want to do it beginning in the middle of the year, so 2010 will be my fresh start :D
I really enjoyed the challenge this year although there were a few weeks when I couldn't post anything because I was traveling, work commitments or family had descended. This challenge has helped me improve so much - I had my first paying gig last June when I photographed a wedding. A few years ago I never would have had the confidence or skill level to pull that off. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement. I believe I have made some lifelong friends here!
This is Bella's attempt at a self portrait. This is her last week of being 3, I'm just happy she is smiling :-)
Went for a nice 10 mile walk from Ringstead to Lulworth (and back) in the driving rain and thought I'd swim out to the rocks by Man 'o War with the gopro...
Today I spotted that the security cameras installed on the Lion Yard side of Petty Cury had reflective covers. Meaning that I can take a self portrait of myself taking a photo of a camera from the perspective of the camera.
Is this ironic, post modern, absurdist or just slightly cheeky?

From a roll of film I found that was my mothers, old, exposed, the last two of the six pictures I took on it came out, sort of just a waste but they turned out alright

primi scatti di prova con l'appena arrivato Octagon Soft Box... devo dire davvero bello... soprattutto, a differenza dei tradizionali softbox rettangolari, per il riflesso circolare che crea nell'occhio... sisi, ottimo investimento in accoppiata con il walimex da 400ws... :-D
The beast is Jackson Butte, a formation near Moab, Utah. It sits inside Jackson Hole, an abandoned meander of the Colorado River. From the first time I saw it (from Potash) it called to me to be explored. This scramble was the answering of that call. I scrambled into the amphitheater of the butte to inspect three places that I thought might offer scrambling access to the top of the butte. Alas, all routes were technical climbs.
Without the steadfast camera support provided by Joe Tripod, this picture would not have been possible.
My vantage point (Joe's location) was at the center of this WikiMapia aerial view.

Its been forever since i took a self portrait of myself. definitely needed one! its was nice editing some head shots again! i had no tripod, so i had to improvise with socks and boxes. lmao boxes to put it in the right position, and socks to straighten the photo. the struggles of someone who keeps moving around... being in the navy makes doing photography so hard :( i need to get back into it though! i miss taking photos most definitely!
The rain stopped for a little while and even the sun came out so I took a little time out to try a self portrait. My lighting set-up was two Sigma EF530-DG Super, one set at 1/8th power and fired onto a gold reflector at camera left, other set at 1/16th power with stofen diffuser fitted and clamped Heath Robinson style below camera on tripod. Both were triggered with Seculine Twinlink radio triggers, maybe not as great as Pocketwizards but about half the cost and they seem to do what I want.
Just for the record I don't really enjoy being photographed but I was the only model I could find.
