I participate in an online photography group on Flickr where you get paired with another photographer from somewhere out in the interweb and you look over each other's photographs and then issue a challenge to the person that will push their comfort level as a photographer. Since I do only landscape photos it is a fun way to expand my hobby and a cool way to meet other photographers from around the world. This month I was challenged by an older lady from northern California to do a self portrait. It feels odd to take pictures of myself, but it turned out to be a fun experiment. I spend way too much time sitting in front of the computer and so for my self portrait I wanted to see what I look like as I sit for hours reading Magnum, P.I. fan fiction and watching videos of stranger's colonoscopies.
