Show Yourself

January 19th, 2011

A member in another web forum posted this and I thought it was a cool idea. Post a photo of yourself. Not a photo of you necessarily, but a photo of how you perceive yourself...maybe just how you see yourself today, or even in general. We spend so much time trying to capture an image in front of us; what does the image look like behind the camera? For the record, I have no idea what I'll post for myself. I thought I would throw this out there and try to get to myself later.

The idea credit belongs to this guy.

argh, wrinkles. Was trying to avoid this. I suppose I could use one of fb images. I've got one on there that's ok. I'm not very photogenic, always behind the camera, lol.

Good idea.
January 19th, 2011
I think a lot of people already have a "selfie" they like. This one is my favorite (i'm the one with the camera stuck to my face). This is pretty much how everyone sees me. :)

January 19th, 2011
My husband took this, it's my guys and I last April. I hate how I look so rarely have photos taken of me.



I like the idea too of something that you feel represents you, will have to think about that one though and post later once those little guys up above are hopefully asleep.

This is me in Chicago at the Affinia hotel.

@jcrowley40

Sorry for the multiple images... It's a bit of a toss up...

People tend to see me this way:




January 19th, 2011
Love the one covered in paint!!!
January 19th, 2011
This is me..


January 19th, 2011
I have a few pictures on my 365 that I think I look nice in but even though I don't think I look pretty in this one it is one of my favorites.
January 19th, 2011
Here I am :)

January 19th, 2011

January 19th, 2011
@killerjackalope ha ha! Is that a pop-up you gots there?!

i uploaded this today...it's me!

January 19th, 2011
I alternate between this



and this

January 19th, 2011
This is a fave of mine because while I can be outgoing and personable, I usually am very private when it comes to my personal emotions.

@craigdtull Man I wish!

Liking your selfie(s) there, cool idea.

This thread's made me think I may knock together a sort of favourite moments album to stick somewhere on my site...
January 19th, 2011
My 365 is full of selfies, but this one is how I see myself. Silly

January 19th, 2011
@killerjackalope :D

@craigdtull Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, etc.

@eyebrows Lookin' sharp, sir ;)

Anyhow, nothing special for me. My fayse. This is from the 9th of Jan

January 19th, 2011
this is a simple RARE snap shot of me taken by my fella :



i HATE photos of me :(
January 19th, 2011


Misunderstood, Secretive, and Complex. At least lately haha
January 19th, 2011
I think I am the opposite of most of you! I love taking pictures of myself!



This is my most recent selfie!
January 19th, 2011
This is me, just a regular girl :)

January 19th, 2011

January 19th, 2011
Today's photo, coincidentally.

January 19th, 2011
@noliesjustlove That's such a pretty shot!
January 19th, 2011

This is me and my 3 year old son.
January 19th, 2011


This is sort of how I see myself I guess.. it's a really really old photo, but I like being silly and I like being with people.. and I am an outrageous flirt. Perhaps that's not the greatest thing to say about myself.. But I feel like this kinda shows that quite well. The guy next to me is my mate Will who is my crew when I do sailing competitions - without him I wouldn't win, and he definitely is like my driving force for anything to do with sailing. :)

Also, I absolutely love everyone else's selfies.. :D
January 19th, 2011


Not the best photo ever, but this is how I generally look. A little goofy with excitement at the small pleasures in life. Like getting my first iphone!
January 19th, 2011
@killerjackalope LOL!!! These are AWESOME!
January 19th, 2011
@noliesjustlove I still love this one so much Emily
January 19th, 2011
@lily wow I never saw this one! What a killer photo and a GREAT selfie! You are gorgeous, lady!
January 19th, 2011
Here's me...



LOL. Or here's one.....hahah



This is the nicest one I've ever taken, though it's pretty subdued compared to how silly I really am.



Now THIS...yes. THIS IS ME.



I'm with @meggageg. Ever since that Self Portrait Theme, I've been taking TONS of selfies!!
January 19th, 2011

my first selfie in 365. not too confident so just "half of me". :D
January 19th, 2011
January 19th, 2011
@eyebrows Steve, I alternate between this:



And this at the weekends! ;)



(It was for charity BTW!)
January 20th, 2011
@vikdaddy Dude....you actually own that hat....!?!?
January 20th, 2011

Ellloooo :D

January 20th, 2011
I don' t like Photos of Me but here is one of the rare few I have... Me and My Hubby on Our Wedding Day... x



January 20th, 2011
I can be in more places at the same time


...and I ocasionally open all my eyes


...unless I get attacked by a serial killer
January 20th, 2011
@indiannie_jones looking lovely...

@vikdaddy Could be worse...

Fancy dress party, people need to stop making bets with me...
January 20th, 2011
Go figure. I did a self-portrait today.



Today I started back at the running thing after being off for a month. Getting started is the worst part.
January 20th, 2011

or maybe.,.
because it shows me having fun :PP

^the real me xD
sorry for posting a billion
January 20th, 2011
ohhh i have some .....











haha sorry for posting a gazillion ....♥ PEACE!
January 20th, 2011
As close as I've gotten lately...

January 20th, 2011
I love this one of me. It shows my cheeky side, but it also conveys how I feel in front of the camera:


And I have to include Zombie me:
January 20th, 2011
(from the peace theme..man, i have grown leaps and bounds photographically since then!) i think this is how i'm seen mostly...chipper, smiley, goofy, and all of that.


but occasionally people find out i have a dark side...



in all honesty (sorry to post more than one), i'm mostly like this when i'm alone...either playing guitar (not well), or with my nose in a book...just being to myself and having alone time. i really enjoy solitude sometimes, and i think people don't think of me that way.
January 20th, 2011
@nikkidee that is possibly the most magnificent zombie photo i've ever seen. and we must have been posting at the same time; i find it funny we both put up zombie shots.
January 20th, 2011
@laceyjogautreau Thank you! It is one of my all time favourite photos I have taken.
January 20th, 2011
Here's my beautiful self
January 20th, 2011
@killerjackalope Thank you :) gotta say, you look good in blue!
January 20th, 2011
January 20th, 2011
@vikdaddy hahaha awesome :D Considered moving to Brighton? You'd fit right in ;)
January 20th, 2011
@jcrowley40 fancy dress!
January 20th, 2011
@jcrowley40 FACELESS >W<
sometimes people just worry too much about how people look..
maybe faceless will do the trick ;]

January 20th, 2011
@indiannie_jones Not sure how to take that :p
January 20th, 2011
@killerjackalope Curiously, but of course ;)
January 20th, 2011
@indiannie_jones That made me laugh...
January 20th, 2011
@killerjackalope Good man!
January 20th, 2011
This is definitely how I see myself lately.....and hopefully for the next three months. :)
January 20th, 2011
January 20th, 2011
I love everyone's selfies! You are all so beautiful & amazing!

And actually, I'm not camera shy at all, but this shot of myself is pretty much right on for the moment:

January 20th, 2011
@thuitt AMEN. I ran the WDW marathon 2 weeks ago, and I've been finding every excuse in the book to not get back out and run. But I need to!
January 20th, 2011
funny my pic today is a selfie
January 20th, 2011
January 20th, 2011
I'm so new at this...not sure how to post my Photo from twitpic. This is the link, It is the collage that I made for my portrait photo. Like most of you...I like to be behind the camera, not in front of it. http://twitpic.com/3rsyu6
January 20th, 2011
@rayswrld - lol
January 20th, 2011
Just me :-)

January 20th, 2011
My boring selfie. Love all of yours. Such beautiful creativity.

January 20th, 2011
January 20th, 2011
I'm very self-conscious seeing myself in pictures. I'm always that person behind the camera. One of my to do things in 365 is to have at least one good selfie before the projects ends. Need to step out of that comfort zone one of these days. I took one selfie though for the theme-spooky but I wasn't recognizable so it was ok. :-)

January 20th, 2011
Me trough a pinhole.

January 20th, 2011
Here I am.. Well, part of me. This is my picture for tomorrow, you all get a sneak peak ;)


January 20th, 2011
My wife thinks it strange that I like taking goofball pics of myself.
January 20th, 2011
This is me. Unusual to see me at all, I'm always behind the camera and I'm actually camera shy but got my hair curled last night for a night out and fancied getting my picture taken, lol. You probably won't see a lot of me after this.

January 20th, 2011
Here's one of me I took the other night for Day 11 of this project.

this picture was taken on a really important day. it was the beginning of the best job ive ever had, and to a much happier self image =]
January 21st, 2011
This was taken by a friend of mine last January 14...

January 21st, 2011


I will write my love letter on the wings of hope,
And let them fly towards you…
Even if distance will cut above,
I will let these paper wings bridge our love.
January 21st, 2011
This is me, very maternal right now as I have just given birth to my 3rd lovely little boy. Not often I am in front of the camera!
January 21st, 2011
i like to stay anonymous!

@killerjackalope The photograph in the kids library is hilarious. Well done.
January 21st, 2011
This is me with my best friend, I'm on the right - I cant stand me, so there wont be any other selfie's added to the project! LOL

January 21st, 2011

This is how I saw myself on what I considered the longest day of 2010. It was one of those days where everything that could go wrong did (or at least it felt like that).
January 21st, 2011
How I'm feeling at this moment....




What I like others to see....

January 21st, 2011
@jcrowley40

Great idea, something for me to work on today.
January 21st, 2011
@vagabondette Thanks, I actually enjoyed that one so much, it was really silly...
January 21st, 2011

That's me and one of my boys, Balder
January 21st, 2011

but this is how i see myself:
January 21st, 2011


me as of about a month ago - I don't think I look very nice except in black and white.

January 22nd, 2011
Not sure how to post a photo as a reply so here is the link:
http://365project.org/oregon86/365/2011-01-19
January 22nd, 2011
@oregon86 There is some code under a "Share" heading on the right side of you photo...copy and paste that to these message boards and your image will appear - for future posting.
January 22nd, 2011
I am in study mode right now, so yeah, this photo pretty much sums up my life at this moment. :)

January 22nd, 2011
@fluffy Fiona it breaks my heart that you say "I can't stand me." You are a lovely, bright, and inquistive person and you need to love yourself more than you love anyone/thing else. How do I know these things about you? Because I follow you, you follow me, you encourage me when I need it and you have lovely insights. Don't beat yourself up cuz there are way too many idiots out there just waiting to do that to you! Okay, I'll crawl back in my hole now.
January 22nd, 2011
January 22nd, 2011
just me :)
January 22nd, 2011
January 22nd, 2011
@bradsworld Inception'd? :D
Looks awesome


meh i'm camera shy
January 22nd, 2011
great picture woo
January 22nd, 2011
ever the slightest disorganised and confused...

January 22nd, 2011
Already have done my "365 three" album January 18th (I think...?)
'The Yin to my Yang'...
January 22nd, 2011
@sempynz love your selfie
January 22nd, 2011

This is the only self-portrait of myself that I have done, almost a year ago.
January 22nd, 2011
January 22nd, 2011
Go figure, I just loaded a selfie today. :) This is all I am, black hair, green hoodie and the glasses. In this case I do hope the cover doesn't tell the whole story...
January 22nd, 2011
Well, this is me on ONE day in my life.....:)
January 22nd, 2011
I'm going to be gone most of the day anyway so I thought I'd try to take a self portrait and make that my 365. All I accomplished was highlighting my double chin and crow's feet. Me in all my glory, no apology :)
January 23rd, 2011
Tried it... still kind of uncomfortable. But I'm trying to embrace the selfie. Haha...
