Me

Today's assignment for the One Night Stand challenge was a self portrait. This might have been the hardest assignment ever, especially since is was so dark and gloomy outside. I had imagined a beach photo. Not today...

Not being able to look through the viewfinder killed me. That's how I frame photos and see them best. But I used my remote for the first time and this is the corner of the couch where I sit with my laptop so it seemed appropriate.
wow! very nicely done!

You are a beauty LH! Bravo on the selfie! I usually hide most of my face behind the camera! :-)

This is a really lovely picture. It's pretty obvious to say but the wall colour really adds a warmth. With your glasses sitting on the bridge of your nose, I can imagine you sitting at the computer, writing your stories, looking over them to check the screen. My sort-of self-portrait was my first use of my remote too. Had to find it first!!

Nice selfie, Laurie!

I think the first ones are usually the most painful to do, but after a few it seems a bit more natural. It did turn out nice, and it's a very nice selfie. Nice to see the face behind the photos.

Great selfie! They're tough to do, and I can't tell you how many times I've been out of focus, out of the frame, or otherwise terribly composed when I've tried. Selfie challenges are fun because we all get a chance to see the faces that are normally behind the camera!

Very nice! Selfies are about impossible for me at this point. I love the lighting and color back there.....and btw, I still have not tried one enough to know how on earth I am supposed to make the camera focus on me, where I sit. :0( it seems like pot l uck to me.

This is beautiful, Laurie, as are you! You did such a terrific job with this selfie. It just looks SO natural -- no idea how you did that, but you sure did it well. Now, when we're able to get together, I'll be able to recognize you right away. :-)

Very nice coloring and lighting. Looks very natural-

I love this selfie, Laurie - congratulations on doing it! They are so hard when you're used to being on the other side of the lens! I love the coloring in the background, and I love the way the fous in on your eyes - the glasses on the tip of your nose and your bangs really draw you into your eyes!

Hello Laurie, nice to meet you! Great selfie here. That's what I love about the Canon 60D - a swivel out live viewer...no guess work required!!
May 3rd, 2012  
Beautiful you!

You are looking gorgeous, woman! love that lighting effect on the background - great selfie!

Wonderfully composed and shot! Cool colors, too!

@sarasdadandmom Good call, Terry! You are once again proving your detective skills. This was the hardest photo I have ever posted, bar none. By the time I took this shot, I had already cut off my head, cut off my chin and looked away a dozen times. Then I forgot to take off my reading glasses, which my daughters told me look dorky. But in the end, it did capture all my feelings about doing a selfie.
May 3rd, 2012  
Like the in-the-moment, you-being-you feel to this.
May 3rd, 2012  
You DO look quite apprehensive, my dear. I promise it won't hurt to take a selfie. Leave it to your girls to call you dorky looking. LOL I think it's perfectly "you" and that's why it's a FAV for me. :)
