Ever tried to take a picture of yourself? It 's a difficult tasks - especially since I couldn't find the tripod.
1. Set camera on big blanket basket, which in turn is set on top of desk chair.
2. Point camera at chair, adjust camera settings
3. Attempt to auto focus on absolutely nothing. Camera finds it difficult to focus on blank wall. Stupid camera.
4. Change to manual focus, focus on blank wall and set timer
5. Quickly move around camera, and bump chair--turning the camera and ruining the shot.
6. Take a deep breath. I did not swear.
7. Set it up again.
8. Run around the camera, sit down & try to make my hair look not too weird.
9. Smile.
10. Think about how cheesy my smile is, attempt to change into more natural smile.
11. Think about what a moron I am, and once again change expression on face.
12. Camera clicks as I blink or am between facial expressions.
13. Curse to myself
14. Repeat
This went on for about 12 shots with no luck, so I decided to try for something a little less...conventional.
I've heard that the "sasquatch" look is really hot for fall....
Maybe something thematic.....vikings anyone?
And then I was attacked by a ferocious beast.
I barely escaped with my limbs intact.
It was a harrowing morning. Sorry Dan...I'll try again later tonight.

Personally I like the ferocious beast. Why not take a picture of him and use that for your self portrait? One beast is as good as another. Hehehehe.......Running for my life now. :)
What is the "beast" exactly?
by the way... we are now using the face picture as our wallpaper :)
YOU would have thought I asked da Vinci for a sitting....hello, hubby can push button too....Any way, the viking pic captures your inner spirit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and I still need the picture.
D
Aunt Dee-very funny. :P
Rob - the "beast" is Harley. He is our psuedo dog. He belongs to the neighbors, but I think they don't really like him very much.Anyway, he's actually at our house more than theirs, and the kids love him. Hey...maybe we should rename him Casey. :)
Dan - I'M WORKING ON IT. Do you know how hard it is for me to take a boring "passport-like" photo?? I'll have Steve-O do it tonight. :)Are you sure you don't just want to use the viking picture?
you stole my shirt and i want it back.. its great though bc every time ive seen you lately (which is often) you wear that shirt at some point.. what a loser =)
Nice pictures though.. those are classic
you TOTALLY have too much time on your hands. lol lol
kt - don't get snarky with me girl, or I'll take my big heeled shoes that you TRIED to steal and beat 'cho head with 'em. :)
Megan - you'd think so, but not really. Maybe I need to take a course in time managment.
