This is for the self portrait day here at Photoblog started by Carol
I really like when members get together and do things like this. You can search for and see other self portraits by SP120722.

I really wanted to take my picture today or even this weekend but I just ran out of time and it has been crazy with activities, so here is a self portrait that I took on the 1st of this month. The odd thing is I have no problems taking my own photos and even trying to get some kind of feeling out of myself and into the shots (I have the final say and can delete them all if I really want to:) even though my face bothers me to look it:) (big nose, long face, receding hairline, the list goes on lol) My original self portrait idea was going to have a picture of the earth from space and then put a red arrow pointing to the United States.
Anyway I have some ideas for more self portraits and will be posting them in the near future.

Thanks to everyone for their nice comments!

Excellent portraits Bryan! I think it was a good choice to have your little one join you, as she brings out the best in you! Wonderful expressions.... ArtBee · 2012-07-22: 13:47

B&W is really nice :) TheDashd · 2012-07-22: 13:52

These both turned out great... it's good to be comfortable in front of the camera (but I'm NOT!)... and the inclusion of your daughter is perfect! DancingDolphin · 2012-07-22: 14:00

Lovely! and I think that our children are such a part of ourselves that they have every right to be included in a self portrait. She brings out an aspect of your self that is lovely to see. Love them both but #2 says more about you to me :))) caroleagle · 2012-07-23: 13:45
