How do you feel about taking your own photo? Do you get self-conscious? Do you see it as a way of getting a photo you actually like?

Beth, you are beautiful inside and out and your light should be seen by all =-)
ReplyDeleteIn terms of taking my own picture, it just feels silly to do it, but i'm very comfortable being in front of the camera for others - maybe that's from dancing on stage or from posing for my mother's photography assignments??
I'm so with you on the photo front, whether its taken by me or anyone else..I have yet to see a photo of me that I like, the worrying part being that the camera never lies!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the big stitched postcard...I just discovered your blog on the closing date of your last one and have been waiting impatiently since!! :)
i love seeing a glimpse of beautiful you....missed you...i am back on the radar now.
ReplyDeleteYour skin is lovely and firm. Unfortuantely for me no photo can do that anymore so no I'm not enjoying photography by me or of me. Cherrie
ReplyDeletewhat a fab shot....very artistic! I am not sure why it is but I can never look at myself in a photo and say I look nice yet I look in the mirror most days and not mind what I see. Can you answer that one for me? Thanks for stopping by my blog:)
ReplyDeleteLove the shot! And yes self conscious about me in the photo and on the blog :-) YAY just saw the postcard link and was going to check it out! I'll be back to see on the 19th!!!
ReplyDeletelove the shot!
ReplyDeleteyeah, a little self conscious & really don't like being in front of the camera at all.

Love this shot of you! You inspired me to take a break from my business trip and post a recent self shot that I snapped with my phone.
ReplyDeleteI'm also excited to participate in the next round of stitched postcards! YAY!
That's a lovely photo. Even if I tried to make it casual and cut off half of my face, I would still end up with a photo I hate. The only time I like a photo of myself is when (for some strange reason) it doesn't look like me. That's why I like all the weird things I can do on the computer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and Happy Blogtoberfest!
I love this photo - just a glimpse of your sparkly, pretty face!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of photos of me however they are taken, but if they have to happen then I would preffer to take it myself - that way if I hate it I am in control & can instantly delete, delete, delete!
Your photo is great ... love your smile and the sense of movement.
ReplyDeleteI hate having my photo taken, or taking a photo of myself ... I tend to avoid most things that cause me to 'star'.
Love that you've only shown a little glimpse of you in that shot, particularly your smile. You look like you're rushing off to do something fun. Great to come across your site this Blogtober!
ReplyDeleteI love snapping self portraits- for me it feels much less contrived, I just push the button and I get what I get ( and many times it is SPOT ON!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shot. I love it. Love the one of your and Louise in the next post too. I miss my AAJ girls.
ReplyDeleteeekkk.. i don't like it one bit, pics of myself that it. you look lovely. pretty shot.
