30-Day Selfies Challenge: Day 12 - 14

I guess you can say I have been kind of sluggish with my self-portraits for my 30-Day Selfies Challenge through A Beautiful Mess blog. It turns out it might be 30 days within a few months. These are the most recent pictures I took and yes the majority of my self-portraits include pictures with Belle. She is my shadow and follows me around the house.

7/30: Hugs and kisses from Belle.

7/31: Belle’s bath time.

8/1: Second time reading “Catching Fire.” Now, I’m nice and refreshed for the movie release in November.

30-Day Selfies Challenge: Day 6 - 11

7/21: Heading to work. My employees said I looked like Beetle Juice in my outfit. Unfortunately, that smile of mine turned outside down by the end of the day and not because of my employees.

7/23: Quality time with Belle in the backyard after a long day at work. She’s always glad to see me. My fireman says Belle looks like the funny-eyed penguin named Private from the movie Madagascar, in this picture.

7/24: I just got home from picking up dinner for my fireman and I. I’m experimenting with reflective surfaces (truck window) for selfies.

7/26: Trying on pants for work at Ross. Oh, the joy!

7/27: Trying on my new Worry Doll/s headband. I love all the festive colors in this picture.

7/28: Watched, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” and it made me cry four times. Once I laughed and cried at the same time. Great movie!

30-Day Selfies (Self-Portrait) Challenge: Day 4 & 5

7/19: I woke up late because I was up ‘til 3:30 am the night before. It was inventory night at the theater. I barely had time to check my email, favorite blogs, etc and get ready for work. While doing my makeup, I realized I still needed to snap a photo of myself for the day. I pointed the camera to my vanity makeup mirror while applying mascara.

7/18: Morning breakfast. Sipping the milk left from my cereal.

I forgot to mention that the camera I use is an oldie; it’s a Kodak Easy Share C875, 8.0-mega-pixel digit camera. I’m hoping my fireman and I will purchase a new one for our anniversary. Any suggestions?

30-Day Self-Portrait Challenge: Day 1

 (Day off and going to run some errands)

You will be seeing a lot of me lately, 30 days of self-portraits of me to be exact. I’m doing a 30-day self-portrait challenge along with the beautiful ladies, Elsie & Emma, behind the blog A Beautiful Mess. Click here for more details.

In this challenge I hope to capture pictures of myself in the daily activities of my life while learning about “lighting, angles, color, composition and posing.” Photography concepts Elsie & Emma learned themselves by taking self-portraits. And, it will be a big plus because my fireman isn’t always around or eager for that matter to take pictures of me for my blog.

I’m looking forward to this challenge and looking back at all the pictures taken.
