"Self" portrait was optional of course... well, not quite. You have to have willing subjects to do portraits.

well look at you girl :))) you look so much different sans eyeglasses. the third one is my favorite - although it's a little overexposed, you look really pretty! ????? · 2012-06-15: 11:25

As you know, a self-portrait is one of my quarterly exercises in self-awareness, which I think is vital to photographing others. I'd be happy to hear your feelings about the exercise. Ultimately, a portrait - whoever the subject - is in many ways a self-portrait of the photographer. FWIW, I think you're being a little hard on yourself here! SM2012 · 2012-06-15: 11:38

Cool! I just received that little clip on flash "bounce box" for my SB-600 this week, so I will test some portraits also... honzicek · 2012-06-15: 12:37

Wonderful use of natural lighting and nice to show different zoom levels on your portraits! mwbergeron01 · 2012-06-15: 12:53

LOOK AT YOU!! It's so awesome to see that pretty face unobscured- I know how you like to hide. They're gorgeous Marjorie and when I get home I am adding the second or third to my favorites. I would do it from here but this version of Firefox doesn't let me. The box will open up but the "add" button isn't there. :o) liveandletlive · 2012-06-15: 13:00

You are beautiful Marjorie! Wonderful self-portraits. I especially like the first shot, it gives you that lady-with-attitude kinda look....haha ArtBee · 2012-06-15: 13:24

GORGEOUS, i'm speechless, the woman that hides behind the camera always, now look at you! big wow! favorited one of them because i really liked the portrait. onlyricky · 2012-06-15: 17:14

I think this has been an excellent technique choice....and I think you've done an excellent job of it! You look relaxed, content, and pretty! Working on my tomorrow....it's not been a good day :( Keryl · 2012-06-15: 21:15

Nice to see the face behind so many posts:) My pick of the bunch is 1 with 2 right behind it. You should do more of these...of yourself and others, I find people are an interesting subject...(now that I've said that, I need to find some more people to photograph other than my family lol) sooch · 2012-06-15: 23:47

so positive ; ) idorudoll · 2012-06-16: 09:03
