Being John Denver

I went garage saleing this weekend and found a stack of old LP's for the new trend in selfies...sleevefacing. I thought it looked fun from the shots I've seen and wanted to give it a try. More to come in this series. Do you have any old LP's to try some selfies with? I'm hosting a selfie theme for this this week, so you can join in the fun and tag your shots: sleeveface1.

Sorry for another upload today. I became bored with my ducklings. Too much sweetness in a row and I wanted to mix it up with some humor. Oh and yesterday, I did one of my darkest shots ever at Mad Hatters (typically I am the lightest of the bunch and the comic relief). Here was that dark shot and the start of our new Hook themed tale: http://365project.org/madhatters/365/2014-05-19 . It's a great series...check it out.
"Take me home, country roads...." This is an awesome shot. Love it! FAV!

What a great and clever idea for a composition. I think you can tag it for the forced perspective challenge of this week. I really loved his music and I have that record. FAV.

@summerfield I should start a new theme or contest? Eh?
May 20th, 2014  
@amandal - why don't you? now i really have to find first my lp's!!!

I love these sleeveface selfies :) What gets me is how many people can find matching clothes. This is very well executed, lady!
May 20th, 2014  
I have that record too. Shows my age doesn't it! I loved John Denver songs and music.
Clever idea Amanda. I think you should start a new contest/theme. I might even go into the loft to find my old L.P's to join in! Well done.
May 20th, 2014  
This is great!!!! I remember my brothers had that album, very cleaver idea!!!
May 20th, 2014  
Far Out !!! :- )
May 20th, 2014  
Love the idea !
May 20th, 2014  
Clever and fun!
May 20th, 2014  
I've never seen this idea before. You did that so well. I used to have that LP......got rid of most of my LPs about 5 yrs ago, but still have a few. Will have to check. This looks like fun.
May 20th, 2014  
A super idea and so well executed. Fav
May 20th, 2014  
I've seen this a couple of times before, and you did an exceptionally nice job! Well done.
May 20th, 2014  
Great fun and I'm singing mountain high! Well done!
May 20th, 2014  
Creative
May 20th, 2014  
Very clever!!
May 20th, 2014  
You did a great job. You have the shirt, vest and the background. I did a shot last month with one of the local kids that hang at our house.... http://365project.org/photohoot/365/2014-04-11

Just did another for your competition. Will enjoy seeing the others.
May 20th, 2014

Oh very well done. So well lined up. Cool idea. You just need to sing us a tune now.
May 20th, 2014  
Great fun capture, you even have the right clothes on. But JD? I don't know if I should laugh, or throw up!
May 20th, 2014  
@bill_fe Yeah, I've got more lame ones to come.:)
May 20th, 2014

May 20th, 2014  
Hahha. Awesome!
May 20th, 2014  
This is very clever. I don't know how you managed to line it up so perfectly.
May 20th, 2014  
@dh The arm is a little off. It was tough to do with the remote timer and not being able to see and such. Thanks, lady!
May 20th, 2014  
Fav. This is just fantastically done. Looking forward to the rest of the series
May 20th, 2014  
What a fun blast from the past! Take me home, country roads . . . :)

Such a great shot, well done. Really good fun. :)
May 20th, 2014  
Cute shot!
May 20th, 2014  
Hahaa - I can find the sleeves but may not have the clothes!
May 20th, 2014  
What a great idea and so well done. You are so creative, it just never ends. I loved John Denver and still listen to his music today. You have a great background to pull this off so well. I do not have a vest like that but have LP's and will have to check and see if anything may work. Wish I could blink to your house and use your deck and trees. FAV
May 20th, 2014  
This is wonderful! The album lines up so well!
May 20th, 2014  
Ha ha ha haha ha ha! I love it! A fav!
May 20th, 2014  
OK can I say that I love John Denver. wonder what kind of wonderful songs about global warming he would have written. Miss his music. Super selfie!
May 20th, 2014  
Clever fun shot, are you a country girl ??
May 21st, 2014  
@tonydebont Kinda, yeah. I love country music and want some cowgirl boots.:)
May 21st, 2014

May 21st, 2014

Mac
Haha! I saw him once in the airport in Aspen. He was a lot taller than I thought he would be. Great photo!
May 21st, 2014  
Ha! Turned out great! Very clever!

So clever, well done Amanda.

Oh yes! Very clever!
May 22nd, 2014  
I'm not posting at the moment but call in most days to see everyones work......then John Denver caught my eye!! An all time fav of mine, have this album among many and you have done this so well esp being distant from the camera! Great idea this! @sailingmusic he wrote so much about the environment and its future, too bad so few listened, so missed.
May 22nd, 2014  
@Cherrill Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Cherrill. You should try a shot with an old album someday when you are posting again. It was fun to do.

@eyesmile Aw, love you for that, Gena. Thanks so much. And right back 'atcha:)!

Wow guys...thank you for your fun and for enjoying this shot. Loved all your marvelous comments and so appreciated your faves. I did start a theme that will run until next Tuesday...do your own sleeveface selfies and tag them: sleeveface1. Lots of time left to find and dust off the old records...cds could work, too, perhaps. I did another one today, but must have reached my posting quota (posted two days in advanced because I am a nut like that). I will put it up tomorrow. It's a good one so stay tuned;-). Thanks again for laughing with me and please play along if you can. It's so fun.
