Paper Heart Camera Show & Tell ~ Self-Portrait: Kitchen

Show & Tell ~ Self-Portrait: Kitchen

Inspired by Chelsey's Picture {thanks lady!}

Show:

Tell:

Treated myself to the whole $5.11 Triple Grande Caramel Machiatto with Extra Foam. {Yikes, they raised their prices again!! This was an expensive morning!} I've been up since 3:30am and because my espresso machine is loud.... it was the right day to treat myself. So I snuck out of the house {literally, I had to sneak ~ you moms know exactly what I'm talking about!}. This was a pretty accurate self-portrait. Thanks for the inspiration, Chelsey! My face is not ready for a self-portrait picture this morning. Hahahaha! 

I had a little trouble getting the shadow out of the picture. If I had more time today, I'd work on that.

Show & Tell your own self-portrait kitchen picture over at The Paper Heart Camera!! Hope to see you there! :) 

Paper Heart Camera Show & Tell ~ Self Portrait

I actually entered this picture in the paper mama's photo challenge back in August. But I really like it. So I'm using it again! :)

Tell: So I hadn't told the story behind this picture when I last posted it. It was a Friday night and our good friend was getting married the next day. We had come home from the rehearsal dinner to relieve our babysitter but my husband went out with all the guys once she had left. Now, I'd had my share of champagne at the rehearsal dinner (but I wasn't wasted or anything, don't worry) and decided it was the perfect time to do a series of Hat Pictures. I like hats. I own a lot of them. A whole storage ottoman filled of them, in fact! So why not photograph myself wearing them? So I did. (I am so weird. I know.) (I guess I could have picked from any one of those but then I'd have to hook up the external hard drive, etc etc, and it's late and I'm tuckered out!) I recently got this collage program thing and I've got to figure out how to do it so I can make a collage of the Hat Pictures. I'll post it when I do!

Anyways. This is my self-portrait. I really like it because of the way the green scarf makes my eyes look green, and because well ~ it's totally me. After a few glasses of champagne. Having fun. With eyeliner. By myself. Making eyes at my camera.
