I look at other people's descriptions of their photos and love how they always manage to come up with something poetic and meaningful sounding. I find it really hard to do something like that. I hate sharing my thoughts because sometimes it can get a little too self-indulgent and pretentious. I prefer being frank and direct and just, myself. Ohwell!
Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) is a common herb in Britain and is especially visible on lawns that have not been treated with weedkiller. The plant has a long history of medicinal use, and traditionally the leaves are applied to wounds to promote healing. According to the 16th-century herbalist John Gerard, ‘there is not a better wounde herbe in the world’. The 17th-century botanist Nicholas Culpeper wrote that the plant is called selfheal because ‘when you are hurt, you may heal yourself’.
Prior to World War II, it was used to staunch bleeding and for treating heart disease. A decoction of the leaves was used to treat sore throats and internal bleeding. It is used as an anti-inflammatory and has anti-allergic activity. In western medicine it is used externally for treating minor injuries, sores, burns, bruises and can also be used as a mouthwash to treat mouth ulcers.
Whereas in European countries herbalists have mainly used selfheal for treating wounds, in Chinese medicine it is mainly used for treating liver complaints, acting as a stimulant in the liver and gall bladder. Selfheal shows antiviral properties, and in China it is used as an anti-cancer drug.
Aside from its medical uses, Prunella vulgaris is a valuable addition to areas of grassland managed for wildflowers and wildlife, but can spread into cultivated areas if unchecked.

Beautiful place.
-and I found this little gem (the hair) that I actually bought a while ago and lost track of!
I belong to a local photography club and every month we have a competition, this month it is 'Self Portrait' full edit allowed, like most photographers I know what side of the lens I'd rather be, so I thought this would be an excellent excuse for me to have a play around.

Ok, so I haven't thought this photo too far. I just borrowed a 24-105 lens from a friend to take some architectural photos and while I was messing around I got this one.
I used two flashes, one with a small umbrella slightly above and in front of me and the other one with a gel positioned where the sun would be.
working on an image for a screen printing class, this is my first draft... pulled an all nighter for it. no real reason, just got caught up in my work. I am okay with it now, but I am sure I will hate it after I sleep.

While trying to get a detail shot of the fender skirt on this 1935 Dodge, I realized it was throwing off an not altogether flattering image of yours truly. Oh what the heck I thought. Makes an interesting shot.

Oil paint on artist's board
This painting forms a group of closely related self-portraits made by Vincent van Gogh in spring 1887.
In them, the painter wears the same white shirt and blue cravat under a brown jacket with a navy trim. He represents himself from different angles, however, exploring the impact of these variations.
The loose and seemingly unfinished background is not intentional. Van Gogh had originally set his features against a rich purple backdrop, whihc has faded over time. Only the green and blue specks added to enliven it remain.

From the exhibition
Van Gogh. Self-Portraits
(February - May 2022)
Van Gogh. Self-Portraits takes as its springboard Van Gogh’s iconic Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, one of the most celebrated works in The Courtauld’s collection, and brings together around half of the self-portraits Van Gogh created during his short years as a painter.
This is the first time that the full span of Van Gogh’s self-portraiture has been explored in an exhibition. Several works in the exhibition were last together in Van Gogh’s studio and have never been reunited, until now.
An outstanding selection of 16 self-portraits have been brought together to trace the evolution of Van Gogh’s self representation, from his early Self-Portrait with a Dark Felt Hat, created in 1886 during his formative period in Paris, to Self-Portrait with a Palette, painted at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in September 1889, one of his last self-portraits before his death in 1890.
The myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his stunning paintings. This exhibition allows both aspects to be explored.

I'm overdue for a haircut; I suspect any change will feel exaggerated simply due to the tardiness of the situation.
Self Portraits
Painting & Drawing for 9 year olds
The students in the 9 year old painting and drawing class have begun to understand and appreciate the elements of art, art history, and self expression. Students have begun to understand the importance of line, shape, space, and color. Students were shown art work from Renaissance to Contemporary Art and learned about specific art movements. Students were encouraged to develop self expression through free drawing, drawing exercises, and while working on each project.
The self portrait project started off with a class discussion about why self portraits are important, why they are sometimes difficult to do, and the master artists that have done their own. Students were then directed to sketch themselves in their sketchbook. In order to make the task less daunting, students were asked to select a self portrait by a master artist to use as a starting point for their own pieces. Students took elements of the self portrait they chose and incorporated it into their own images. The materials used for this project were pencils, oil pastels, and watercolor.

I was feeling a little distorted even before encountering this nearly new hand dryer. This convex mirror was probably more flattering than the normal one anyway.
Waited till it was dark and decided to go out in the front yard and shoot this portrait. I had quite the setup out there haha!
strobist: AB1600 through Octabox camera Left
I put this together for my title slide for the Foothills Camera Club's self-portrait technical challenge. Not sure if I prefer it with or without the text.
