7. what the heck is that?

[alfredo]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Here's some of mine:

[Blue_In_AK]

3. I don't take pictures of myself.

I prefer to concentrate on beautiful things. :evilgrin:

[Mz Pip]

4. Here's mine!

Looks just like me!

[NV Whino]

5. An accidental portrait

I accidentally took this when I was setting up a friend's computer. Then I PhotoShopped the hell out of it and cropped it.

6. found one

[mth44sc]

39. self-portrait redux

found a few more...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

55. They are wonderful but I love the middle one

[trusty elf]

9. Okay, here's one.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. Is that Rush Limbaugh in thre background

or just a nazi windbag?

[trusty elf]

17. An apt metaphor!

But, it was supposed to represent felonious monkey. See the little "W"s on the tail in place of the swastikas? At the time I made this I was convinced (foolish me) that * was going to go down in flames for all of his lies about Eye-rak, Valerie Plame, etc., etc! The title was "Lied Zeppelin".

[JVS]

34. OH THE HUGH MANATEES!

[JeffR]

10. Not a self portrait

but I circled myself in this photo from Courage to Resist.



They also used one of my shots from the rally:

[priller]

11. Here are a few

My wife calls this my "self-portrait as a serial killer"


A much more respectable photo. Had camera mounted on a tripod, triggered with remote:


From our last cruise, in the tiny bathroom:

13. here

[Eurobabe]

14. Goofy self-portrait reflection from one of those

hideous pore-magnifying mirrors in our hotel in Dubai. It made me look so weird, I had to take a photo of myself.

[Adsos Letter]

16. Beautiful eyes...first time I've ever seen anyone ...

with white rings around their irises, though... :D

A very interesting shot...

[Eurobabe]

22. that's from the dumb-ass donut mirror!!

I told you it was weird. :crazy:

[Adsos Letter]

15. me...sort of...after wading my way through "Gender and Politics in History"...

[trusty elf]

18. another one

[trusty elf]

19. encore une!

:crazy:

[intheflow]

28. ..

:spray:

That is one silly picture! Inspired, but silly. :silly:

[trusty elf]

20. One more!

I'll stop now, I promise!

[Callalily]

21. Here's one of me

horseback riding!



Rowing - I'm in the three seat! When sweeping I prefer starboard! When sculling I prefer stern.

[JeffR]

23. From yesterday

A Portrait of the Artist as a Hobbit:

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. Nothin' special...

[blueraven95]

25. it's awesome to put faces to photography styles :)

this one is from a year ago yesterday:


I'm the one on the left, one of my sisters is on the right.


post-processing is allowed, right ;)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

26. allowed? encouraged!

nice work.

[sce56]

27. Ok a year ago Jan 27 07 LA

I'm circled in red

[Itchinjim]

29. Three.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

30. no wonder you itch

man, that red rash looks painful

[alfredo]

31. No, that last image is his imitation of Mort from Bazooka Joe comics.

[Maestro]

32. I do not have many of me.

Here I am as a blonde.



Here I am after hunting down some whooping cranes on the coast.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

33. Yikes... a molting photo?

Or is that just an immature one?

[Maestro]

44. Naw, just a lot of peroxide for a school event.

I'll never do it again though. :)

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

35. Interesting window reflection shot

[Amaya]

36. Hey you!

trying to look thoughtful :)


sunshine through the window



:hi:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

37. Hiya sis, long time...

Hows it goin?

[alfredo]

38. Another odd self portrait. I was facing a sliding door at night.

I put the camera on automatic, no flash. All I did to the image was crop and adjusted the curves. I might have played with color balance, but I don't think I did much there. The heavy grain is from the usual artifacts you get with low light digital images. Instead of ruining the image, I tried to use the limitations to my advantage. It's not a great image, but that's fine. It's all about experimenting.

[CC]

40. That came out neat.

I like it.

I found one I shopped to death that I ended up liking ok. Can't remember what all I did to it but going to play around with some others one day to try and repeat it.




I was forced to do a x-mas picture and I hate pictures of me.

[alfredo]

41. Very nice. I like the way the eyebrows look hand drawn and the contrast

between the eyes, lips, and the rest of the image.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

42. I like that a lot

looks like a 70's album cover, or one of those crazy bumpers they did for Saturday Night Live

[JCMach1]

43. Here are a couple-- My LEAST favorite subject!

[alfredo]

45. Yeah, and it is hard to find another "self" for a self portrait.

They're a very low volume item. You're lucky to find one. Upkeep is expensive, but if treated right and a bit lucky, it will last a lifetime.

[alfredo]

46. I couldn't hold still for this one

[JeffR]

47. The last Bruce Cockburn concert I went to, he looked just like you

and even hinted at these giffy dance moves when the rhythm section really leaned into the groove.
:)

[alfredo]

48. Poor guy.

I got in to see him for free a short time back. I was leafleting outside a theater where he was playing. One of the guys with his team came out and said he appreciated what I was doing and gave me a good ticket to the show. It was great.

[JeffR]

49. He's an amazing guitarist, and tragically underrated as such

because he's such a good singer-songwriter.

And he, and you, seem to be aging much better than I am.

[alfredo]

50. His music is too real to play on commercial radio. NPR plays his music.

At least in our town.

[JeffR]

51. He just ruled at a Toronto protest I was at in '95,

hypnotizing a crowd of maybe 400,000 (though the official attendance was later much-downgraded by the media and the cops).

If there's anyone around now who can legitimately claim that his guitar kills fascists, he's the guy.

[ConsAreLiars]

52. Lines like these? There are others, many, not well publicized, but he is one:

Everything's broken in the birthplace of law
As Generation Two tries on his tragic flaw
America's might under desert sun
I saw her frightened eyes behind the muzzle of her gun

Uranium dust and the smell of decay
Sewage in the street where the kids run and play
Not enough morphine and not enough gauze
Firefight in darkness like snapping of jaws

This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad


You couldn't see the blast-the morning was bright-
But some radiant energy flared up into the light
Like the sky throwing its hands up in a horrified dismay
Or the souls of the dead as they sped on their way

Carbombed and carjacked and kidnapped and shot
How do you like it, this freedom we brought
We packed all the ordnance but the thing we forgot
Was a plan in case it didn't turn out quite like we thought

This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad
This is Baghdad

[alfredo]

53. It only wounds, but that ties up more resources than killing.

Their screams and cries terrorizes others. Dead fascist only lie there and rot.

[JCMach1]

54. OMG he has Limbaugh disease... somebody please help him...
