A self portrait I took with my new favorite shirt on, a shirt I bought at Roger Waters' The Wall concert in San Jose on December 7th. This one is in color because the light from the flashlight (which I had because there is no light on this floor of US Bank Tower) didn't look right in black and white.
Shot with the 400D as i find it much easier to use the infrared remote (RC 6) than the wired remote shutter release on my 50D. Window light and a 50mm Lens.
*Edit: I created a set called memories as a catalog of important events documented in photographs.
I painted this self portrait as a quick addition to my portfolio for Carleton University... Only took a few days, but I think it captured my sort of... aesthetic personality at that point in time. Colours weren't important so I usually only stuck with primaries, I liked geometric tesselated triangles because there was a seemingly endless combination of them that can create a semblance of form.
Materials: poster paint & gouache
Size: 8.5" x 11"
I have to be honest - I would much rather be behind the lens than in front of it but I needed a photo for my website so I bit the bullet and did an 'at arms length' self portrat using the natural light available from my kitchen window.
A few months ago I had long hair and decided to cut it for summer and because it is so much easier to care for. It is still a little strange to see photos with my short hair but I'm growing to like it. I re-trimmed my fringe and sides two days ago despite the fact they are a little short I think it works. Not quite a 50's style but I wore my black and white polka dot dress for the occasion. Me? In a polka dot dress? It was the only dress I could find that I liked and I bought it despite the polka dots but I'm also strangely warming to them. I guess its like avocados and olives... the first few times you try them you screw up your face in distaste but after a while... they grow on you :)

A self portrait taken at my office at work and featuring some of my handy reference materials.
For the PlanetCrap Flickr Group assignment.
when i got home for summer i had the idea to take a picture of myself with my crazy hobo hair/beard and to take another pic after i cut it all off and meld the two together. i finally got around to doing it this fall but then i messed up in photoshop and couldnt undo my changes, so i got pissed and just kept going with it, and i ended up with this. pretty much sums up my typical work process.
also, i realized when i saved that the file name is 0777, which basically means it's the money shot
Litterally was sitting in bed last night bored out of my mind and decided to take a picture of myself.
