Here is my entry. This is my first serious self portrait. It was gonna me and either my electric shaver or my car. Tried first with the car and kinda liked it so never got to do the shaver photos. Taken with a G10on Manfrotto 785Bwhich I always carry with me. Sean, if you're reading this post, thisphotograph was inspired by your works.

Again, I know I'm not in this round but I took this this morning and just thought it went.

Thanks! I feel really fortunate. One of those right time right place things that I usually don't get. It was funny, I went to the beach to photograph the sunrise and the clouds ruined it. Heading back over to the main land I hit crazy fog and with the sun rising it was terrible but then I saw the sail boat and had to stop.

Witha little gridded light on your face coming from the left side, and I'd say it was just about perfect. ;-)

Thanks for your critique, Sean.I agreethat the shaded part of me is just too plain. Live and learn...


BTW,I had always thought thatphotographing myselfwould bejust a narcissistic waste of time, until did it. [:P] Itis actually fun!
