The Photographer: Self Portrait [View all]

I thought it might be fun to see who is behind the camera most of the time
by turning the camera around and pointing it at ourselves.

I'll start with a shot I took while returning from our weekend trip to DC to see the cherry blossoms.
We rode the train--which was fun!--and it was a real challenge to get a shot without a blurred
background (shot was taken while moving) and lighting that felt right.

How about the rest of you? Care to share a selfie?!?

Just heard that my sister's hunger ad is up for an ADDY. alfredo Apr 2015 #31

Is that she at the piano? Mira Apr 2015 #32

Yes, that is her. The ad is a long shot, so she doesn't want to get expectations up. alfredo Apr 2015 #33
