Default Rare Self Portrait

I never do these... but I think I'm gonna challenge myself to do the 52 project sometime soon. Not quite ready for 365! Also I need to practice shooting portraits cause I'm gonna try to do the 100 strangers project in Amsterdam this winter.

comments are appreciated!

probably the last self portrait I'll take before I'm finally 18.

I love the fact for a self portrait you like midly surprised a camera is facing your way (apprehension?) but great start in this so well doen and I wish you well for your 52 with this as a start you will enjoy it ... *makes note to wait for more* ... I also admire yer guts for doing this as I do any that post theirs have yet to make hundreds of random strangers feel ill by posting mine LOL

Well I didn't feel like setting up a tripod, so my camera was tottering on the edge of my couch- so maybe my expression is just showing my nerves! haha

And thanks- I hope I can keep up with one a week!

Thanks! I've been trying to revamp my processing style and I was a little worried it wasn't very good- it's nice to hear that someone likes it.

I like it. I hate being in front of the camera! But I love seeing some of the creative SP people come up with on here and other sites.

Having just crossed the self-portrait barrier myself, I well aware of your apprehension. However, I took a peak at your flicker site and finally connected your work with you. I recently saw your entry for the "Album Cover" and thought it was just fabulous. Your portraits have the feel of someone who has been at portraiture for years. You have a very bright future ahead. So, I'm glad you posted this great photo and started the 52 project. It fits so well with your gift.
