Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 29 October 2008 in People & Portrait.
October 29, 2008 marks this officially as Self-Portrait Day, and the new theme at Am3. Thanks to our friends DJ Tigersprout and ISAO for getting this out there so we can all say "hi, nice to see you!" to one another.
Me...even though I have done some self portraits and posted them at various sites, generally I am camera shy and prefer my position behind the camera, and not so much in front of it.
Hello everyone, this is me, trying to create a vintage feel with some help from my friend roamin..

Much cleverer than my straight foward point the camera at yourself! But then I should have expected as much from someone who produces such beautifully creative images. Nice to see you with us on this self portraits day!

More At ease behind apn, that as a model !
Happy to see you BC !
Je crois qu'on est tous un peu pareil :
Plus à l'aise derrière l'apn, qu'en tant que modèle !
