Having been away for most of this week it wasn’t until I got home on Friday that I spotted the forum discussion about having a Self Portrait Day here on Photoblog today. I’m not a big one for putting myself in front of the camera but I thought this was a great idea so here’s my contribution! Thanks for suggesting the idea Carole – I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone looks like when I get a chance. You can see everyone’s self portraits here.

Hi Hellen, always great to see your smile. x Ryana · 2012-07-22: 16:13

Wow.... What eyes and what a lovely expression. danrav · 2012-07-22: 18:45

It is so funny how you chose to resemble your avatar, same pose, same friendly expression in the eyes... There must be some truth in the saying that we grow to be alike with our pets after a while, have you noticed? atszabo · 2012-07-22: 18:49

Nice to meet you Helen.... :)))))))))) ????? · 2012-07-22: 18:56

Very lovely portrait Helen. Sure we've glimpsed you now and then on here but it's lovely to see you like this :) I'm doing a blurb book of all the entries. Can I use yours? caroleagle · 2012-07-24: 11:35

Great portrait Helen.. That must be the expression longing for another speedy ride in a SUPER fast car?? Nice to see you up close and personal. SheriJ · 2012-07-24: 12:03

Nice to see you Helen! I think so many of us have that aversion to being on the other side of the camera! I only now started to let people photograph me... CHOSSID · 2012-07-25: 22:02
