Weekly Winners–self portrait edition

Or  “Why So Many of My Photos are of Toys”

I have a mirror on the wall of our bedroom that is the perfect height for a self portrait shot.

Assuming I can get my camera to cooperate

Slightly better but clearly the camera prefers the humidifier

Or the microwave

DSC_4640

Or the far corner

DSC_4642

or even the mirror frame

Really. This getting ridiculous

Finally! Only 14 shots necessary

    just goes to show that the camera doesn't have much taste if it prefers the humidifier to you.  I'm glad it finally saw the light!

    Haha Believe me 14 shots is nothing - try holding the camera at arm's length - it's worse!!!

    Yet another reason why I don't like taking my own portrait. I know my camera would not cooperate either. Your set however, still turned out great.

I should know by now that cleaning anything in my kitchen is bound to provide blog fodder & that I ought to go get my camera for ‘before’ photos before I start. I have no shame. I share my embarrassing bad housekeeping skills with the world willingly because even a bad example is still an example & someone may think to themselves “you know, it has been awhile since I cleaned out my fridge” & be inspired by me. That’s my story & I am sticking to it. My mom, right now, is cursing the day she joined Facebook and gained access to my blog feed. The snack cupboard held no surprises because everything in it is in heavy rotation. It gets emptied & filled regularly & at various...
