April 12th, 2010
definitely a challenge...but maybe it will get me over it.
April 12th, 2010
oh, man....now this is a challenge
April 12th, 2010
awesome I was thinking about doing a self portrait this week anyway, now there is no turning back hehe
April 12th, 2010
I am curious how you all are going tot take your selfportrait. Do you let someone else take the shot? Do you use a timer?
April 12th, 2010
@iiwi - I will use a remote control, most of the DSLRs have this capability, some may use a cable release or timer (especially for the 'point and shoot' cameras)
April 12th, 2010
Of course... since I just posted one a couple of days ago. I seem to have this knack for timing /around/ the themes. LOL. Oh well, try, try again!

@iiwi - I have a point and shoot so I will be working with my tripod and a self timer. Yay. =P LOL
April 12th, 2010
oooooouuuuchhhhhh, you might have found my achilles' heel.
April 12th, 2010
Can other people be in the picture?
April 12th, 2010
Yay I can take lots of photos of myself without everybody telling me I'm vain for once..
April 12th, 2010
yay this is a perfect excuse to finally buy a remote for my camera! (although i doubt if i buy one online i'll get it in time, but i've needed an excuse!)
April 12th, 2010
i don't have a remote so i have to put the camera on the tripod. i setup the timer and then run back in front of the camera...by the time it starts shooting, i look like a person who just put the camera on the tripod on a timer and then ran back in front of the camera....not a pretty sight =)

I've always thought of self portraits in several ways, either an image of my face or an image of something else, anything else, that is representative of who I am. Thoughts? I can absolutely say *ditto* to Kayleigh's comment above but I do like finding representations of myself through other things as well.
April 13th, 2010
LOL @ Kayleigh!

Of course I took a selfie last week to show my new haircolor! lol... Guess I will have to take another :)

I guess now's agood time to get soem practice in
April 13th, 2010
Louise my reaction is same as urs!!! Some times I just hate my picture...I have to convince myself a lot to like them
April 13th, 2010
Ira
Concrats, Carl! =)
What an evil new theme...evil.

...EVIL!




But maybe this can encourage me to do a non-blurry self-portrait. We'll see. ;-)
April 13th, 2010
@Rainee - That cracked me up! The mental picture is crystal clear and good for a giggle. I have a self timer with 10 seconds so you have to hustle. =P
April 13th, 2010
Okay, I WILL take part in this challenge! I never get around to participating in the challenges, but this I really should be able to do :)
April 13th, 2010
I love this theme!! Where else would I be able to glue flowers on my face and have a valid excuse for doing it.. :D
April 13th, 2010
Well done Carl. Look forward to seeing other's portraits, not so keen on doing mine!
April 13th, 2010
Really wish I could enter this - http://www.manek.org.uk/cymbaleating

But unfortunately, I didn't take the picture... :(
April 14th, 2010
Well, I have, but okay. Permutations?
April 14th, 2010
@ Ira you must. :) I have to admit it has been fun seeing everyones face. It has also gotten my creativity flowing thinking of ways to do a portait that aren't your typical " cheese this is me" for 7 days.
April 14th, 2010
I am enjoying this theme, the opportunity to use my tri-pod and to see everyone's creativity and faces.
April 14th, 2010
if i click a picture of my picture will that qualify as a self portrait??
April 14th, 2010
Is anyone else noticing how nice-looking everyone is...? I mean, these are the people so often "behind the camera" and they all have such great faces! Lots of character and beauty and whimsey and charm...

I'm here to "say" ***clap clap clap*** to all of you...I'm so enjoying looking each eveing at all your faces! Smile & say "Cheese"...you look fabulous!
April 15th, 2010
yay!!! there are no ugly 365er =)
April 15th, 2010
Okay...day late dollar short. This will be my job tomorrow!
April 15th, 2010
Good-O I'll do this tomorrow. Works well, as I don't finish work until a bit later :)

Ahhhhh

My first real self portrait! :O

It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be
April 16th, 2010
Only you had angst, Chris...we thought you looked terrific! (clap clap clap again :-)
April 17th, 2010
Well I really thought I'd chicken out of this one. After all, isn't this why I am always on the other side of the camera?!

I was on the ferry taking a few shots of Sydney Harbour when I looked around to see if anyone was watching, quickly turned the camera around and clicked once, resulting in the photo that I submitted for my self portrait. Not bad for a quick reflex shot! http://365project.org/margaretg/365/2010-04-15
April 17th, 2010
i must thank Carl for choosing this theme. its just super amazing being able to see faces behind all the photos! super great choice! kudos!!
April 18th, 2010
Ok... I have taken the plunge into this challenge arrrrrggghhhh.

April 19th, 2010
Just checked out the entries on Sunday night and they number over 425. I don't envy the judge who has to look through all those self portraits.
April 19th, 2010
